About

Patients with COPD who participated in the second rehabilitation program in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation unit will be included in the study. Pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases, mMRC dyspnea perception, 6-minute walking distance, disease-specific (SGRQ) quality of life and hospital anxiety depression scale values will be compared.

Full description

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program in patients with COPD reduces dyspnea perception, increases exercise capacity, improves quality of life, and reduces psychological symptoms. Unfortunately, these gains are not permanent, but disappear within 12-24 months. The aim of this study is to compare the gains of the second PR program with the first program.
