“…24 Pulmonary rehabilitation is traditionally recommended for patients with moderate to severe COPD. Although pulmonary rehabilitation, bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory agents provides the greatest improvement in dyspnea, exercise tolerance, and health-related quality of life, 25 it is very difficult to change physical activity and with poor outcome. 26 Therefore, COPD is a major heterogeneous disease and one of the world’s leading causes of death, and it is urgent for diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for COPD.…”

“…The latter thus affects the generalizability of findings to other settings. 34,35 A possible answer to some of the methodological challenges stated above would be to employ a more pragmatic approach in the RCT design. 37 In brief, pragmatic RCTs can be defined as a study design which determines whether interventions will work in the real-life setting.…”

“…On the other hand, even if the traditional treatments including lung volume reduction surgery for COPD have made great strides, there were still some uncontrollable complications [ 9 ]. In addition, even if some pulmonary rehabilitation programs, such as exercise training, education, and behavior change followed by patient-tailored therapies have been regarded as promising measures for improving the COPD patients, a few patients still cannot gain the benefit from the exercise training [ 10 ]. Hence, it is very wishful for further parsing the molecular mechanism and recognizing the novel biomarkers of COPD.…”
