Persistent dyspnea, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life (QoL) are common following pulmonary embolism (PE). Rehabilitation is a potential treatment option, but the scientific evidence limited.
Exercise is safe and effective in the short-term following pulmonary embolism. To date, little known about long-term effects. The aim of study was to investigate whether effects exercise-based rehabilitation are maintained 6 months after completion patients with persistent dyspnea embolism when compared usual care. A 2-center, randomized controlled trial 8 weeks Patients were reassessed postintervention later. capacity measured incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT). Dyspnea assessed Shortness...
Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory with an increasing prevalence worldwide. Its potential consequences, including reduced function and social participation, are likely to be associated decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, illness perceptions self-efficacy beliefs may also play part in determining HRQoL persons COPD. The aim this study was explore the relationships between perceptions, self-efficacy, sample COPD...
Abstract Background Recently, a large group of patients with persistent dyspnea, poor physical capacity, and reduced health-related quality life (HRQoL) following pulmonary embolism (PE) has been identified clustered under the name “post syndrome” (PPS). These seem good candidates for rehabilitation. The aim study is to explore whether rehabilitation program can improve HRQoL in PPS patients. Methods A two-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) being performed at Østfold Hospital Akershus...
Persistent dyspnea and reduced exercise capacity is common in pulmonary embolism (PE) survivors. Although improved right ventricular function after rehabilitation has been demonstrated chronic thromboembolic hypertension, it still unknown whether a similar effect also occurs other patients with embolism.The aim of this study was to explore potential effects program on cardiac structure as assessed magnetic resonance (CMR).Twenty-six PE survivors persistent were included. Right left...
A prospective observational study with translation and psychometric analyses of a questionnaire.Cross-cultural adaptation the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire-2 into Norwegian.The different versions Questionnaire (MPQ) have been important influential tools for pain assessment. To more reliably assess qualities both neuropathic non-neuropathic pain, MPQ was revised in 2009 (SF-MPQ-2), including seven additional descriptors. No Norwegian SF-MPQ-2 has performed.A performed based on...
Residual perfusion defects (RPD) after pulmonary embolism (PE) are common.This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RPD in a cohort diagnosed with PE 6-72 months earlier, and demographic, clinical, echocardiographic variables associated RPD.Patients aged 18-75 years prior PE, confirmed by computed tomography angiography were included. Participants (N = 286) completed diagnostic work-up consisting transthoracic echocardiography ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy. Demographic,...
Cough is a common symptom among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but there are currently no patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) for subjective cough symptoms in Norwegian.The objective was to translate and validated the most widely used PROM cough, Leicester Questionnaire (LCQ) from English Norwegian (NLCQ) using established guidelines.Forward backward translations were performed external translators. All phases discussed an expert workgroup until consensus...
There is limited knowledge regarding physical activity and clinical correlates among people who have suffered a pulmonary embolism (PE).
Abstract Background Little is known regarding treatment of urinary incontinence (UI) in women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim the study was to explore efficacy pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) or cough-suppression techniques (CST) on UI COPD. Methods A three-armed, two-centred, single-blinded, randomised controlled performed. Subjects were (a) PFMT for 16 weeks, (b) 2–3 educational sessions CST, (c) written information only. All participants completed...

<b>Background:</b> To date, little is known regarding levels of physical activity (PA) and its clinical correlates in people who have suffered a pulmonary embolism (PE). This study aimed to explore daily PA after PE. Method: 145 were recruited 6 months years diagnosis PE (mean: 23.1 SD 17.2). assessed using an monitor for 7 consecutive days. Moreover, health-related quality life (HRQoL), dyspnea, exercise capacity the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT), resting lung cardiac function...
