Functional capacity using sit-to-stand tests in people with chronic obstructive...

Background Functional capacity impairment is a crucial consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although it can be identified with simple tests, such as the sit-to-stand tests, its prevalence, relation with disease severity, and the characteristics of people presenting this impairment remain unknown. Objective To explore the functional capacity of people with COPD. Methods A cross-sectional ...

COPD profiles and treatable traits using minimal resources: Identification, dec...

Background and objective: Profiles of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often do not describe treatable traits, lack validation and/or their stability over time is unknown. We aimed to identify COPD profiles and their treatable traits based on simple and meaningful measures; to develop and validate a decision tree and to explore profile stability over time. Methods: An observational, pros...

COPD profiles and treatable traits using minimal resources: Identification, dec...

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is highly heterogeneous and complex. Hence, personalising assessments and treatments to this population across different settings and available resources imposes challenges and debate. Research efforts have been made to identify clinical phenotypes or profiles for prognostic and therapeutic purposes. Nevertheless, such profiles often do not describe treat...

The use of topical therapy has the advantage of the faster and more potent effect while avoiding the side effects, the result of systemic use of drugs, and as disadvantages the need for a proper inhalation technique and poor adhesion.; O uso de terapêutica tópica tem como vantagens o efeito mais rápido e potente evitando os efeitos laterais, consequência do uso sistémico dos fármacos, e como desvantagens a nece...
