Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | MDPI | Source: | Journal of clinical medicine, 11 (1) (Art N° 150) | Abstract: | Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) have a negative impact on patients’ health status, including physical function and patient-reported outcomes. We aimed to explore the associations between physical tests and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in hospitalised patients for an AECOPD. Patients were assessed on the day of discharge. Quadriceps force, handgrip strength, short physical performance battery (SPPB), five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5STS), four-meter gait speed test (4MGS), balance test, six-minute walk test (6MWT), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), London Chest Activity of Daily Living scale (LCADL), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, Checklist of Individual Strength (CIS)-fatigue subscale, and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were collected. Sixty-nine patients with an AECOPD were included (54% female; age 69 ± 9 years; FEV1 39.2 (28.6–49.1%) predicted). Six-minute walk distance was strongly correlated with mMRC (ρ: −0.64, p < 0.0001) and moderately correlated with LCADL total score, subscales self-care and household activities (ρ ranging from −0.40 to −0.58, p < 0.01). Moreover, 4MGS was moderately correlated with mMRC (ρ: −0.49, p < 0.0001). Other correlations were weak or non-significant. During a severe AECOPD, physical tests are generally poorly related to PROMs. Therefore, a comprehensive assessment combining both physical tests and PROMs needs to be conducted in these patients to understand their health status. | Keywords: | chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;acute exacerbations;exercise capacity;muscle function;patient-reported outcome measures | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/36408 | e-ISSN: | 2077-0383 | DOI: | 10.3390/jcm11010150 | ISI #: | 000759260300001 | Rights: | 2021 by the authors.
