Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Post-acute/Long-term Care Settings: Seizing Opportunities to Individualize Treatment and Device Selection
The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in post-acute/long-term care (PA/LTC) settings is high, and many patients do not receive guideline-recommended care.

Cognitive Impairment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies
Cognitive impairment is common in people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic heart failure (CHF); however, accurate estimates of prevalence are lacking. To date, there are no meta-analyses that have specifically investigated prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in ...

Normal Weight but Low Muscle Mass and Abdominally Obese: Implications for the Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
It is well established that low muscle mass affects physical performance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We hypothesize that combined low muscle mass and abdominal obesity may also adversely influence the cardiometabolic risk profile in COPD, even in those with normal weight. The cardiomet...

Responsiveness and MCID Estimates for CAT, CCQ, and HADS in Patients With COPD Undergoing Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Prospective Analysis
Pulmonary rehabilitation enhances health status and mood status in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim was to determine the responsiveness of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), COPD Clinical Questionnaire (CCQ), and Hospital Anxie...

Sarcopenia in Advanced COPD Affects Cardiometabolic Risk Reduction by Short-Term High-intensity Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Sarcopenia is common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may contribute to increased cardiometabolic risk. Interventions to reduce cardiometabolic risk in advanced COPD have been scarcely studied. We have investigated the cardiometabolic effect of a short-term high-intensity rehabilitation ...

Sarcopenic Obesity, Functional Outcomes, and Systemic Inflammation in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Both loss of muscle mass (ie, sarcopenia) and obesity adversely impact clinically important outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Currently, there are only a few studies in patients with COPD with sarcopenia and concurrent obesity, termed sarcopenic obesity (SO).
