Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) was implemented for COVID-19 patients experiencing long-term effects to assess its impact on their functional capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
- The study involved 155 post-COVID patients undergoing a pre and post-assessment that included a six-minute walk test, focusing on various interventions like education, exercise, and strength training, conducted over eight weeks.
- Results indicated significant improvements in resting pulse rate, oxygen saturation, walking distance, and various HRQOL domains, highlighting PR as effective for enhancing the quality of life in post-COVID patients.
We conducted the study to assess the effect of patient-tailored diet counseling on the nutritional status of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) patients under the pulmonary rehabilitation program from June 2021-May 2022. These patients completed 2 months of patient-tailored diet counseling sessions under the pulmonary rehabilitation program, which consisted of 4-5 interactive diet counseling sessions fortnightly. The pre- and postassessment was done using standardized outcomes: Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), body mass index (BMI), and ideal body weight.
