    • Determinants of study completion and response to a 12-month behavioral physical activity intervention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cohort study 

      Koreny, Maria; Demeyer, Heleen; Arbillaga-Etxarri, Ane; Gimeno-Santos, Elena; Barberan-Garcia, Anael; Benet Mora, Marta; Balcells Vilarnau, Eva, 1967-; Borrell, Eulàlia; Marin, Alicia; Rodríguez Chiaradía, Diego A.; Vall-Casas, Pere; Vilaro, Jordi; Rodríguez-Roisin, Robert; Garcia Aymerich, Judith (PLoS ONE, 2019, 14(5): e0217157, 2019-05)
