Background: Our objective was to evaluate the short-, medium- and long-term benefits of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on the physical and affective components of dyspnoea in people with fibrotic idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (f-IIPs). Anxiety and depressive symptoms, fatigue, health-related quality of life and exercise tolerance were also assessed.
Methods: Data on 166 individuals with f-IIPs who enrolled in an 8-week home-based PR programme (weekly supervised 90-min session) were retrospectively analysed.
PULMONARY REHABILITATION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE. The positive effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on dyspnea, health-related quality of life, anxiety and depressive symptoms, exercise capacity and healthcare costs have been repeatedly confirmed. These results are similar between inpatient, outpatient or home-based PR programs.

We also evaluated the baseline characteristics of both patients and caregivers that contributed to the change in caregiver's outcomes after PR.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with COPD were referred to an 8-week home-based PR programme consisting of a weekly supervised 90-min session.
Pulmonary rehabilitation, whether performed at home or in a specialised centre, is effective in the management of COPD. As gender-related differences in COPD were previously reported, we aimed to evaluate the impact of gender on pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes in the short, medium and long term. In this retrospective observational study of 170 women and 310 men with COPD, we compared the outcomes of an 8-week home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programme including an individualised plan of retraining exercises, physical activities, therapeutic education, and psychosocial and self-management support.

Here, we report the results of an observational study in routine clinical practice of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation for f-IIP patients.
Methods: A total of 112 consecutive patients (61 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and 51 with fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis) were enrolled, of whom 65 had mild-to-moderate disease (forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥50% predicted and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide ( ) ≥30% predicted) and 47 had severe disease (FVC <50% predicted and/or <30% predicted).
