Impact of acute exacerbations of COPD on patients' health status beyond pulmona...
Machado, A.; Barusso, M.; De Brandt, J.; Quadflieg, K.; Haesevoets, S.; Daenen, M.; Thomeer, M.; Ruttens, D.; Marques, A.; Burtin, C.This scoping review summarized the evidence regarding the impact of acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) on patients' health status beyond pulmonary function. PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched. Prospective cohort studies assessing the health status of patients with COPD in a stable phase of the disease and after a follow-up period (where at least one AECOPD occurred) were included. An integrated ...
Functional status and impact of the disease in people with COPD according to sy...
Machado, A. F.; Antão, J.; Souto-Miranda, S.; Rocha, V.; Alves, A.; Cruz, J.; Jácome, C.; Mendes, M. A.; Martins, V.; Simão, P.; Burtin, C.; Marques, A.Background: COPD is a heterogeneous disease. Better understanding of its trajectory, especially considering symptoms level, may help improving disease management. We described the evolution of functional status and impact of the disease in people with COPD according to symptoms level. Methods: People with COPD were assessed monthly for 6 months. Participants were grouped by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obs...
End-users’ perspectives of an eHealth platform to promote physical activity in ...
Flora, S.; Brites-Pereira, M.; Hipólito, N.; Silva, C. G.; Gordo, J.; Morais, N.; Ribeiro, J.; Silva, F.; Oliveira, A.; Burtin, C.; Brooks, D.Introduction: eHealth platforms can be used as a tool to promote physical activity (PA) in patients with COPD. When developing such platforms, a bottom-up approach is needed to ensure that patients’ and healthcare professionals’ (HCP) needs and expectations are addressed. Aim: To assess patients’ and HCP’ perspectives on the ideal eHealth platform (web application - app - for HCP + mobile app for patients) for ...

Hipólino, N.; Flora, S.; Gordo, J.; Pimenta, S.; Morais, N.; Silva, C. G.; Ribeiro, J.; Silva, F.; Oliveira, A.; Brites-Pereira, M.; Carreira, B. P.Introduction: Persistent respiratory symptoms at rest and during exertion (e.g., dyspnea, fatigue) play a role on the low physical activity (PA) levels found in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but other factors may also be involved. Environmental factors have been shown to impact PA levels in other patient populations, but evidence regarding people with COPD is still scarce. Investigat...
Effects of a community-based pulmonary rehabilitation programme during acute ex...
Machado, A.; Oliveira, A.; Valente, C.; Burtin, C.; Marques, A.Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cornerstone intervention for the management of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its role during acute exacerbations (AECOPD) is controversial since most studies have been conducted in hospitalised patients, when more than 80% of AECOPD are managed on an outpatient basis. This quasi-experimental pilot study assessed the eff...
