Marques, Alda; Antão, Joana; Rodrigues, Guilherme; Paixão, Cátia; Rebelo, Patrícia Filipa; Machado, Ana; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Grave, Ana; Dias, CíntiaFunding Information: This research was supported by FCT - Funda\u00E7\u00E3o para a Ci\u00EAncia e Tecnologia, I.P. by project reference UID 4501- Instituto de Biomedicina - Universidade de Aveiro. Publisher Copyright: © 2025 The Authors; Background: Comparison of results and associated costs of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) conducted with minimal resources (MR) versus specialised centres (SC) for people with c...
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 ...
Core outcome set for pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPD: results of...
Souto-Miranda, Sara; Saraiva, Isabel; Spruit, Martijn A.; Marques, AldaIntroduction There is high heterogeneity of outcomes and measures reported in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) trials of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This hinders study comparability and benchmarking of PR. We have developed a core outcome set (COS) to overcome these challenges. Methods This study was informed by a systematic review and two qualitative studies and had patient involveme...
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...
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 ...

Souto-Miranda, Sara; Saraiva, Isabel; Spruit, Martijn A.; Marques, AldaThere is high heterogeneity of outcomes and measures reported in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) trials of people with COPD, which hinders study comparability and benchmarking of PR. We developed a core outcome set (COS) in an attempt to overcome these challenges. This study was informed by a systematic review and 2 qualitative studies. Outcomes (n=63) were scored in a 2-round modified Delphi survey responded by ...

Low versus high-resource Pulmonary Rehabilitation settings in COPD: a retrospec...
Antão, Joana; Paixão, Cátia; Rebelo, Patrícia; Machado, Ana; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Grave, Ana Sofia; Dias, Cíntia; Rodrigues, Guilherme; Pinho, TâniaBackground: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is crucial for the management of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with well-established physical, psychological and social benefts. Access to PR is, however, limited. Implementing PR with minimal resources is being considered to increase its availability. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of this approach is unclear. This study aimed to assess wheth...
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...
