Acupoint transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in hospitalized COPD patients with severe dyspnoea: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, 2023, 28: 1-6, 2023-12)ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of acupuncture transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (acuTENS) on the reduction of dyspnoea during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ... -
Acupoint transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in hospitalized COPD patients with severe dyspnoea: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(Trials, 2019, vol. 20, número article 707, 2019-12)Background Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a major cause of hospital admissions and dyspnoea is its main symptom. Some studies have concluded that a new modality ... -
Characterisation and prognosis of undiagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients at their first hospitalisation
(BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2015, 15: 4, 2015-01)Background Under-diagnosis of COPD is an important unmet medical need. We investigated the characteristics and prognosis of hospitalised patients with undiagnosed COPD. Methods The PAC-COPD cohort ... -
Clinical impact of electronic monitoring devices of inhalers in adults with asthma or COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Pharmaceuticals, 2023, vol. 16, núm. 3, 414, 2023-03)We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to gain insight into the characteristics and clinical impact of electronic monitoring devices of inhalers (EMDs) and their clinical interventions in ... -
Determinants and outcomes of physical activity in patients with COPD: a systematic review
(Thorax, 2014, 69: 731-739, 2014-02)Background The relationship between physical activity, disease severity, health status and prognosis in patients with COPD has not been systematically assessed. Our aim was to identify and summarise ... -
Determinants of study completion and response to a 12-month behavioral physical activity intervention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cohort study
(PLoS ONE, 2019, 14(5): e0217157, 2019-05)Objectives Physical activity is key to improve the prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To help to tailor future interventions we aimed to identify the baseline characteristics ... -
Effect of pulmonary hypertension on exercise tolerance in patients with COPD: a prognostic systematic review and meta-analysis
(European respiratory review, 2021, 30(160): 200321, 2021-04)Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent complication in patients with COPD. Objective To determine if, in patients with COPD, the presence of PH decreases exercise tolerance. Methods We ... -
Long-term efficacy and effectiveness of a behavioural and community-based exercise intervention (Urban Training) to increase physical activity in patients with COPD: a randomised controlled trial
(European respiratory journal, 2018, 52(4):1800063, 2018-12)There is a need to increase and maintain physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We assessed 12-month efficacy and effectiveness of the Urban Training intervention ... -
Physical activity characteristics across GOLD Quadrants Depend on the Questionnaire used
(PLoS one, 2016, vol. 11, núm. 3, 2016-03)The GOLD multidimensional classification of COPD severity combines the exacerbation risk with the symptom experience, for which 3 different questionnaires are permitted. This study investigated differences ... -
Socio-environmental correlates of physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
(Thorax, 2017, 72:796-802, 2017-03)Background: Study of the causes of the reduced levels of physical activity in patients with COPD has been scarce and limited to biological factors. Aim: To assess the relationship between novel ... -
The PROactive instruments to measure physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(European respiratory journal, 2015, 46(4):988-1000, 2015-06)No current patient-centred instrument captures all dimensions of physical activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our objective was item reduction and initial validation of two instruments ... -
Validation of walking trails for the urban training of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
(PLoS One, 2016, 11(1): e0146705, 2016-01)Purpose Accessible interventions to train patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are needed. We designed urban trails of different intensities (low, moderate and high) in different ...
