A comparative study of the effectiveness of hospital-based versus home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in candidates for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction

Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Operation and Pulmonary Rehabilitation

“…The method of the calculating number of free walking laps based on the six-minute walk test. This study, demonstrated that both home-based and hospital-based PR provided significant and similar improvements in the dyspnea and symptom scores but exercise capacity was only significantly increased in the hospital-based PR [21].…”

“…Of these, Solve trial (NCT03474471) is still in recuiting status. The other study is prospective randomized controlled study in which and hospital-based versus home-based PR gains were compared (The study is discussed in the section "Pulmonary rehabilitation before bronchoscopic lung volume reduction") [21].…”

“…In contrast, there are very few clinical studies on PR efficiancy before BLVR. In our literature review, we found only one published study about PR before BLVR [21]. The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled study.…”

Effectiveness of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation: systematic review and meta-analysis

“…All disagreements and decisions were discussed within the multidisciplinary team and 62 articles were excluded (supplementary table S1). Thus, we included 16 articles in our review [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. No additional papers were added from the pre-publication update.…”

“…The trials were conducted in Australia (n=3) [50,56,59], Brazil (n=2) [52,63], Spain (n=2) [54,65], the United Kingdom (n=2) [57,58], Canada (n=1) [60], China (n=1) [51], Denmark (n=1) [55], Egypt (n=1) [53], India (n=1) [64], Iran (n=1) [61] and Turkey (n=1) [62]. Of these, nine were high-income countries [50,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60]65], four were upper-middle-income countries [51,52,62,63] and three were lower-middle-income countries [53,61,64].…”
