Content, uptake and adherence of exercise interventions after an acute exacerbation of COPD: a scoping review - PubMed

Content, uptake and adherence of exercise interventions after an acute exacerbation of COPD: a scoping review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39843159/

Studies properly reporting on the uptake and adherence of well-described interventions, including information regarding fidelity, are needed to further investigate suitable programmes for patients experiencing an AECOPD.

This review examines exercise interventions for patients post-AECOPD, highlighting content, uptake (70%), adherence (≥80% in 27% of studies), and the need for improved reporting and intervention fidelity.

Airway clearance techniques for people with acute exacerbation of COPD: a scoping review - PubMed

Airway clearance techniques for people with acute exacerbation of COPD: a scoping review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39843161/

This scoping review identified and mapped ACTs used for people with AECOPD worldwide and their decision-making factors. Future work should focus on community settings.

This scoping review maps airway clearance techniques (ACTs) used for AECOPD across healthcare settings, identifying key influencing factors like contraindications, dyspnoea, resources, and ease of use, highlighting global variability.

Combined Lifestyle Interventions in the Prevention and Management of Asthma and COPD: A Systematic Review - PubMed

Combined Lifestyle Interventions in the Prevention and Management of Asthma and COPD: A Systematic Review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38794757/

(1) Background: A healthy lifestyle has a protective role against the onset and management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Therefore, combined lifestyle interventions (CLIs) are a potentially...

Combined lifestyle interventions (CLIs) targeting diet, physical activity, and smoking cessation improve quality of life, respiratory symptoms, and exercise capacity in asthma and COPD management, but more research on prevention is needed.
