Role of comorbidities in a cohort of patients with COPD undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation
Ernesto Crisafulli,Stefania Costi,Fabrizio Luppi,Giuseppe Cirelli,Carmela Cilione,Orietta Coletti,Leonardo M. Fabbri,Enrico Clini +7 more
TL;DR: Most patients with COPD undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation have one or moreComorbidities, and the improvement in exercise tolerance and quality of life after rehabilitation may be reduced depending on the comorbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measures of dyspnea in pulmonary rehabilitation
Ernesto Crisafulli,Enrico Clini +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main goal of rehabilitation is to improve dyspnea; hence, quantifying dyspaine through specific tools (scales) is essential in order to describe the level of chronic disability and to assess eventual changes after intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of standard rehabilitation in COPD outpatients with comorbidities
Ernesto Crisafulli,P Gorgone,Barbara Vagaggini,Marco Pagani,Giuseppina Rossi,Francesco Costa,V Guarriello,P.L. Paggiaro,Alfredo Chetta,F. De Blasio,Dario Olivieri,Leonardo M. Fabbri,Enrico Clini +12 more
TL;DR: A substantial prevalence of comorbidities in COPD outpatients referred for PR was confirmed and only the individual's disability and the presence of osteoporosis were independently associated with poorer rehabilitation outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Unsupported Upper Extremity Exercise Training in Patients With COPD: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Stefania Costi,Ernesto Crisafulli,Francesca Degli Antoni,Claudio Beneventi,Leonardo M. Fabbri,Enrico Clini +5 more
TL;DR: This trial corroborates the effectiveness of unsupported UEET in specifically improving functional exercise capacity of patients with COPD and provides evidence that this training modality may ameliorate and maintain the patients' autonomy over and above standard PR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pneumonic and Nonpneumonic Exacerbations of COPD: Inflammatory Response and Clinical Characteristics
Arturo Huerta,Ernesto Crisafulli,Rosario Menéndez,Raquel Martinez,Nestor Soler,Mónica Guerrero,Beatriz Montull,Antoni Torres +7 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that two different clinical and inflammatory profiles exist in hospitalized patients with COPD in response to CAP (stronger response) and AECOPD, although with similar short-term and long-term outcomes.
