Article Synopsis
- The study explores how effective home-based telerehabilitation is compared to traditional center-based pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD, focusing on various health outcomes.
- It involved analyzing data from two randomized trials to determine if the type of rehabilitation affects participants' responses based on their health improvements.
- Results showed that both methods had similar success rates in helping participants achieve meaningful health improvements, but home-based telerehabilitation led to a higher completion rate compared to center-based rehabilitation.
Article Synopsis
- Abnormal breathlessness during intense exercise can result from several conditions like exercise-induced bronchospasm, laryngeal obstruction, or breathing pattern disorders, often missed in regular tests.
- A retrospective study involved 24 patients, including professional athletes, where advanced testing revealed specific conditions in 66.7% of cases, leading to tailored treatment plans.
- Significant findings included that 38% had exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction, predominantly in younger athletes, and highlighted the need for specialized follow-up and interventions based on individual diagnoses.
Background: Supporting referral to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) from primary care for people with chronic lung disease could improve equity of access. Understanding who is referred to PR from primary care, and by whom, could inform development of strategies to increase awareness of and referral to PR for people with chronic respiratory disease. We aimed to quantify the proportion of patients referred to PR from primary care in an Australian metropolitan setting; and to identify characteristic features of patients and referrers.

Objective: To compare the cost effectiveness of telerehabilitation, including videoconferencing and synchronous supervision, to standard center-based pulmonary rehabilitation.
Methods: Prospective economic analyses were undertaken from a societal perspective alongside a randomised controlled equivalence trial in which adults with stable chronic respiratory disease undertook an 8-week outpatient center-based program or telerehabilitation.
Background And Objective: There is currently no self-management package designed to meet the needs of people with pulmonary fibrosis (PF). This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a PF-specific self-management package.
Methods: Adults with PF were randomly allocated (1:1) to either receive the self-management package with healthcare professional (HCP) support or standardised PF information.
