“…Our observation, that lower baseline 6MWD predicts higher benefits from PR are in line with data published by FERREIRA et al [22]. Nonetheless, PR is also effective in patients with high baseline 6MWD.…”

“…NISHIYAMA et al [23] observed a PR effect of 46 m in 6MWD, whilst, HOLLAND et al [24] reported a mean increase in the 6MWD of 35 m in ILD patients and of 25 m in a subgroup analysis of 34 patients with IPF. FERREIRA et al [22] measured an average increase of 56 m in their study with 113 ILD patients and SWIGRIS et al [25] documented an improvement of 61 m in 6MWD in their study of 21 IPF patients. In contrast, KOZU et al [10] found only an increase of 16 m in 6MWD in 36 IPF patients.…”

“…Exercise training improves aerobic capacity, muscle strength and flexibility, contributing to less dyspnoea on exertion and to improvement of functional status. Additionally PR has psychosocial benefits that help patients understand their disease and may mitigate anxiety and depression [22]. Due to these advantages it is widely supposed that patients with ILD might profit from PR.…”

“…We speculate that ILD patients walking at their highest possible capacities achieve their dyspnoea maximum more rapidly, in contrast to COPD patients, independent of the distance walked. However, due to conflicting data from different studies, dyspnoea rating is still under debate in IPF patients [10,[22][23][24][25].…”

Pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended for patients with chronic lung diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis according to international guidelines. However, data for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are limited. We examined the effect of an inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation on functional status and quality of life in ILD patients.We evaluated 402 consecutive ILD patients who were admitted to a specialised pulmonary rehabilitation centre (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010). All patients performed a standardised pulmonary rehabilitation programme including pulmonary function tests, blood-gas analysis, 6-min walk test (6MWT), dyspnoea rating and health-related quality of life questionnaire (the 36-item short-form health survey; SF-36) on admission and discharge.Mean duration of pulmonary rehabilitation was 30¡1 days. 6MWT distance improved by 46¡3 m (308¡6 m versus 354¡6 m; p,0.001). Dyspnoea rating did not change. Lung function testing showed marginal improvement of vital capacity (+1¡0%; p50.002). The SF-36 questionnaire demonstrated an increase in all eight sub-scores as well as in the physical and mental health summary scores (physical 6¡1 points, p,0.001; mental health 10¡1 points, p,0.001). Moreover, patients with signs of pulmonary hypertension also benefited from pulmonary rehabilitation.In a large cohort of patients with ILD, pulmonary rehabilitation had a positive impact on functional status and quality of life. Considering the limited treatment options in this patient population pulmonary rehabilitation appears to be a valuable adjunct therapy. @ERSpublications Pulmonary rehabilitation improved functional status and QoL in a large cohort of ILD patients and appears to be a valuable adjunct therapy

“…[27][28][29] Marcisz et al 30 showed that FVC, forced expiratory volume in one second, VC, MVV, maximum midexpiratory flow rate 25-75%, and peak expiratory flow rate values were significantly decreased in SSc patients compared to controls. Pulmonary function test results of our patients are similar to this study.…”
