Article Synopsis
- * Involving 300 patients, the study found that only 24.3% had a good TTR (≥ 60%), with a mean score of 70.2%, while most patients had poor TTR with a mean score of 39.5%.
- * Although TTR was significantly associated with social functioning, there was no notable difference in overall HRQoL or treatment satisfaction scores between patients with good and poor TTR.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of COPD patients classified into phenotypes based on exacerbation frequency and subtypes, revealing significant differences among them.
- Out of 185 COPD patients, 58.4% were non-exacerbators, 27.6% were frequent exacerbators, and 14.1% had asthma-COPD overlap, with the majority exposed to biomass fuel or were smokers.
- Results showed that frequent exacerbators had worse HRQoL scores compared to the other groups across multiple assessment tools, indicating more severe symptoms and limitations in daily activities.
