Functional capacity using sit-to-stand tests in people with chronic obstructive...
Machado, Ana; Dias, Cíntia; Rebelo, Patrícia; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Ferreira, Diva; Martins, Vitória; Simão, Paula; Burtin, ChrisBackground 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 ...
The presence of extra-pulmonary treatable traits increases the likelihood of re...
Souto-Miranda, Sara; Rocha, Vânia; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Simão, Paula; Martins, Vitória; Spruit, Martijn A.; Marques, AldaStudies suggest that people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are worse at baseline respond better to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Identifying treatable traits (TTs) may help to distinguish responders from non-responders. We explored the impact of PR on extra-pulmonary traits of people with COPD and whether the presence of TT influences the type of response to PR. A comprehensive assessmen...

COPD profiles and treatable traits using minimal resources: Identification, dec...
Marques, Alda; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Machado, Ana; Oliveira, Ana; Jácome, Cristina; Cruz, Joana; Enes, Vera; Afreixo, Vera; Martins, VitóriaBackground 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...

Monthly follow-Ups of functional status in people with COPD: a longitudinal study
Rocha, Vânia; Cabral, Jorge; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Machado, Ana Filipa; Jácome, Cristina; Cruz, Joana; Martins, Vitória; Simão, PaulaFunctional status is an important and meaningful outcome in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), although its measurement is not embedded in routine clinical assessments. This study described the functional status of people with COPD using the 1-min sitto-stand test (1minSTS) over a 6-month period and the examined sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with this outcome. D...

Machado, Ana; Dias, Cíntia; Gonçalves, António Pedro; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Martins, Vitória; Simão, Paula; Burtin, Chris; Marques, AldaIntroduction: Research on prediction and prevention of acute ex-acerbations in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) has become a priority since these events are frequent and have a negative impact on health status and disease progression. Dyspnoea and poor health status, which can be assessed with the modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea questionnaire (mMRC) and the COPD assessment t...
