Inhaler identification: Evaluating a potential screening method for adherence i...
Gomes, David Silva; Seixas, Carlos; Cravo, JoãoObjectives: This study explores the relationship between inhaler visual identification, naming, and adherence outcomes, and evaluates the potential of combining these factors into a screening tool for identifying poor adherence. Methods: This observational, prospective study included adult patients with COPD, asthma, or asthma+COPD who had been on chronic inhalation therapy for at least the past year. Data were...
Performance of the Alice PDx Device with the Somnolyzer Automated Scoring Algor...
Gomes, David S.; Cravo, João; Seixas, CarlosAutomated scoring of respiratory events could allow a swifter obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) identification. We assessed the accuracy of the Alice PDx device with the Somnolyzer automated scoring algorithm, compared to the manually reviewed scoring by a trained sleep technician, for the diagnosis of OSA. [...]
Responsiveness to pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD is associated with changes i...
Melo-Dias, Sara; Cabral, Miguel; Furtado, Andreia; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Cravo, João; Almeida, Catarina Rodrigues; Marques, AldaBackground Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is one of the most cost-effective therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management. There are, however, people who do not respond to PR and reasons for non-response are mostly unknown. PR is likely to change the airway microbiota and this could play a role in its responsiveness. In this study we have explored the association between PR effectiveness ...

Functional status following pulmonary rehabilitation: responders and non-respon...
Souto-Miranda, Sara; Mendes, Maria A.; Cravo, João; Andrade, Lília; Spruit, Martijn A.; Marques, AldaThe 6 min walking test (6MWT) has been largely studied. Less is, however, known about responders and non-responders to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in other meaningful activities. We explored responders and non-responders and the predictors of response to PR in the 1 min sit-to-stand test (1 min STS) and the 6MWT and compared both measures in classifying responders. An observational study was conducted with 12...
