Measurement properties of the Portuguese version of the Kings’s Brief Interstit...
Marinho, Raquel Vilar; Paixão, Cátia; Lázaro, Luís; Mendes, M. Aurora; Alfaro, Tiago; Campainha, Sérgio; Teixeira, Melanie; Alvarelhão, J. JoaquimIntroduction and objectives: People with interstitial lung diseases (ILD) present a decline in functional status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). There are several instruments to assess these patient-centered outcomes, however, their measurement properties for specific populations are often unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the King’s Brief Interstitial Lung...

Marinho, Raquel Vilar; Paixão, Cátia; Lázaro, Luís; Mendes, M. Aurora; Alfaro, Tiago; Campainha, Sérgio; Teixeira, Melanie; Alvarelhão, J. JoaquimIntroduction and objectives: There are several instruments to assess functional status, however, their measurement properties for specific populations are often unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire - modified version (PFSDQ-M) and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) for Portuguese adults with inter...
Effects of ActiGraph's filter, epoch length and non-wearing time algorithm on s...
Antão, Joana; Rebelo, Patrícia; Almeida, Sara; Franssen, Frits M. E.; Spruit, Martijn A.; Marques, AldaThe influence of the ActiGraph® processing criteria on estimating step counts in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the influence of filters, epoch lengths and non-wearing time (NWT) algorithms on steps/day in people with COPD. ActiGraph GT3X+ was worn on the waist for seven days. Steps were detected using different filters (normal and low-frequency extens...
Integrating palliative care education in pulmonary rehabilitation: a randomized...
Mendes, M. Aurora; Janssen, Daisy J. A.; Marques, AldaBackground: Palliative care addresses multiple unmet needs of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and their family and/or friend caregivers, but it remains highly underused. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) may provide a key opportunity to introduce palliative care. We aim to explore the effects of palliative care education as part of PR on knowledge about t...
Association of inadequate social support and clinical outcomes in patients with...
Stoustrup, Anna L.; Janssen, Daisy J. A.; Nakken, Nienke; Wouters, Emiel F. M.; Marques, Alda; Weinreich, Ulla Møller; Spruit, Martijn A.Introduction: In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), loneliness and social isolation are associated with increased morbidity and decreased mobility, self-reliance, and health-related quality of life. Social support has been shown to improve these outcomes. Aims: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the level of experienced social support and the clinical outcomes associated wi...
A deep learning method for predicting the COVID-19 ICU patient outcome fusing X...
Wu, Yunan; Rocha, Bruno Machado; Kaimakamis, Evangelos; Cheimariotis, Grigorios-Aris; Petmezas, Georgios; Chatzis, Evangelos; Kilintzis, VassilisAssessing the health status of critically ill patients with COVID-19 and predicting their outcome are highly challenging problems and one of the reasons for poor management of ICU resources worldwide. A better pathophysiological understanding of patients’ state evolution in the ICU can enhance effective medical interventions. Therefore, there is a need to monitor and analyze the pulmonary function of a ICU pati...
Ensemble deep learning model for dimensionless respiratory airflow estimation u...
Pessoa, Diogo; Rocha, Bruno Machado; Gomes, Maria; Rodrigues, Guilherme; Petmezas, Georgios; Cheimariotis, Grigorios-Aris; Maglaveras, NicosIn recent years, computerized methods for analyzing respiratory function have gained increased attention within the scientific community. This study proposes a deep-learning model to estimate the dimensionless respiratory airflow using only respiratory sound without prior calibration. We developed hybrid deep learning models (CNN + LSTM) to extract features from the respiratory sound and model their temporal de...

Flora, Sofia; Marques, Alda; Hipólito, Nádia; Morais, Nuno; Silva, Cândida G.; Januário, Filipa; Rodrigues, Fátima; Carreira, Bruno P.; Cruz, J.Introduction This study assessed the test-retest reliability/agreement and construct validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short-form (IPAQ-sf) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It also explored differences in its validity according to age, sex and GOLD airflow obstruction levels. Methods 62 participants (68 ± 8 years, 53 males, FEV1 51 ± 23%pred) completed t...

Santana, André Vinicius; Fontana, Andrea Daiane; Almeida, Rafaela Cristina de; Mantoani, Leandro Cruz; Camillo, Carlos Augusto; Furlanetto, Karina CoutoObjective: To adapt the PROactive Physical Activity in COPD-clinical visit (C-PPAC) instrument to the cultural setting in Brazil and to determine the criterion validity, test-retest reliability agreement, and internal consistency of this version. Methods: A protocol for cultural adaptation and validation was provided by the authors of the original instrument and, together with another guideline, was applied in ...
