<h3>Background</h3> Pulmonary rehabilitation is a cornerstone of care for COPD but uptake traditional centre-based programmes poor. We assessed whether home-based pulmonary rehabilitation, delivered using minimal resources, had equivalent outcomes to rehabilitation. <h3>Methods</h3> A randomised controlled equivalence trial with 12 months follow-up. Participants stable were randomly assigned receive 8 weeks by either the standard outpatient model, or new model including one home visit and...
<h3>Background</h3> Uncertainty exists regarding the clinical relevance of exercise training across range interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). <h3>Objective</h3> To establish impact in patients with ILDs differing aetiology and severity. <h3>Methods</h3> 142 participants ILD (61 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), 22 asbestosis, 23 connective tissue disease-related (CTD-ILD) 36 other aetiologies) were randomised to either 8 weeks supervised or usual care. Six-minute walk distance (6MWD),...
ABSTRACT Background and objective The aim of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Guidelines (Guidelines) is to provide evidence‐based recommendations for practice pulmonary rehabilitation ( PR ) specific Australian New Zealand healthcare contexts. Methods Guideline methodology adhered Appraisal Research Evaluation AGREE II criteria. Nine key questions were constructed in accordance with PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) format reviewed by a COPD consumer group appropriateness....
Physiotherapy management is a key element of care for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) throughout the lifespan. Although considerable evidence exists to support physiotherapy CF, there documented variation in practice. The aim this guideline optimize CF Australia and New Zealand. A systematic review literature areas practice was undertaken. Recommendations were formulated based on National Health Medical Research Council (Australia) guidelines considered quality, quantity level evidence;...
Almost half the patients referred to pulmonary rehabilitation with chronic obstructive disease (COPD) desaturate during exercise. Although oxygen supplementation may ameliorate desaturation, effects on outcomes of exercise training have not been rigorously evaluated. This study aimed determine whether supplemental was more effective than medical air in improving capacity and health-related quality life (HRQoL) people COPD. People COPD who demonstrated desaturation <90% 6-min walk test...
There is limited information about the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with bronchiectasis. This study aimed to evaluate effects an out-patient PR program a primary diagnosis bronchiectasis and compare them matched COPD group who completed same program. A retrospective review was conducted or 6 8 weeks at two tertiary institutions. The outcome measures were 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ). Ninety-five (48 male; FEV(1) 63...
Pulmonary rehabilitation is widely advocated for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to improve exercise capacity, symptoms and quality of life, however only a minority individuals COPD are able participate. Travel transport frequently cited as barriers uptake centre-based programs. Other models rehabilitation, including home-based programs, have been proposed in order access this important treatment. Previous studies demonstrated improvement capacity but not all...
