Between March 2016 and October 2017, we randomised 134 patients with severe COPD from 8 hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark to participate in either standardised, outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (control group) or on-line, supervised and home-based tele-rehabilitation (intervention group). We found no difference between the groups in the primary outcome: six minutes walking distance (6MWD) after completion of the programme. The current study presents results from the 12-month follow-up with assessment of the 6MWD and analyses of hospitalisation and mortality. There were no significant differences between or within the groups in the 6MWD one year after completion of the programme.

Background: Lung cancer represents a significant global health concern and constitutes the primary cause of cancer-related mortality. Complete surgical resection with curative intent remains the most efficacious treatment modality for improving the survival rate of patients with localized lung cancer. Average life expectancy has increased in many countries, and the number of older patients undergoing surgery has increased.

Background: Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) particularly when coupled with acute respiratory failure (ARF), markedly elevates mortality rates. This investigation focuses on pivotal inflammatory markers in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR), glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), which are easily determinable from peripheral blood. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of NLR, LAR, GLR, SII, PNI, and PLR for in-hospital mortality among AECOPD patients with ARF.

Background: The benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been limited to improving dyspnea, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to assess the current status of PR and its effect on prognosis.
Methods: The Nationwide Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) database was used in this study.
The Association Between Patient-Level Factors and Physical Function in Lung Transplant Recipients.

Department of Acute and Tertiary Care, School of Nursing, University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Purpose: Despite the dramatic improvement in pulmonary function after lung transplantation, lung transplant recipients often have reduced physical function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between physical function and a wide range of patient-level factors among lung transplant recipients to allow researchers and healthcare providers to identify and better understand contributors to poor physical function.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of lung transplant recipients enrolled in Lung Transplant Go (LTGO), a randomized, controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of a telerehabilitation behavioral exercise intervention on physical function.
