Introduction: Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) usually experience a decrease in quality of life related to health (QLRH) from their perception of their own limitations in some aspects of their lives. Objective: To analyze the scientific production which tackle the use of questionnaires on quality of life in order to follow the disease evolution in subjects with COPD. Methods and Materials: Non-Systematic Review of the literature including articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish, using Medline, SciELO and Lilacs data bases, from 1998 to 2017, as well as technical books on the theme. The terms used were “chronic obstructive pulmonary disease”, “quality of life”, “specific health-related quality of life questionnaires”.  Results/Data Synthesis: The 39 articles found were organized into two sections as follows: studies on validation of quality of life questionnaires (n=22) and studies of comparison between generic and specific instruments for quality of life evaluation (n=17). Conclusions: The evaluation of quality of life for patients with COPD must be incorporated to the clinical segment, as the chronic disease influences several dimensions of patients’ lives. The specific questionnaires on quality of life give a better dimension of the health conditions of patients with COPD regarding their relationship with the disease.

In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rehabilitation is recommended, but attendance rates are low. Tele-rehabilitation may be key. We evaluate the effect of a tele-rehabilitation program vs. standard rehabilitation on COPD. A randomized, non-inferiority study comparing eight weeks of tele-rehabilitation (physiotherapist video/chat-consultations and workout sessions with a virtual-autonomous-physiotherapist-agent (VAPA)) and standard rehabilitation in stable patients with COPD. At baseline, after 8 weeks and 3 and 6 months of follow-up, 6 min walk test distance (6MWTD), 7-day pedometry, quality of life, exercise tolerance, adherence, patient satisfaction and safety were assessed. Fifty-four patients (70 ± 9 years, male 57%, FEV1% 34.53 ± 11.67, FVC% 68.8 ± 18.81, 6MWT 376.23 ± 92.02) were included. Twenty-seven patients were randomized to tele-rehabilitation. Non-inferiority in Δ6MWTD at 8 weeks (47.4 ± 31.4), and at 3 (56.0 ± 38.0) and 6 (95.2 ± 47.1) months follow-up, was observed. No significant difference was observed in 7-day pedometry or quality of life. In the intervention group, 6MWTD increased by 25% and 66% at 3 and 6 months, respectively; adherence was 81%; and patient satisfaction was 4.27 ± 0.77 (Likert scale 0–5). Non-inferiority between groups and high adherence, patient satisfaction and safety in the intervention group were found after rehabilitation and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up. Tele-rehabilitation with VAPA seems to be a promising alternative.

Introduction. Recently, there has been an increase in the prevalence of comorbid conditions, including a combination of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, called asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap, and their combination with hypertension. The presence of combined pathology causes an increase in the severity of symptoms and functional disorders, in numbers of exacerbations, deterioration of quality of life and tolerance to exercise, and also causes difficulties in selecting a comprehensive treatment for this group of patients. That is why the aim of our study was to optimize and predict the effectiveness of treatment of patients with bronchial asthma in combination with the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the background of hypertension based on assessing the dynamics of clinical and laboratory and functional status in different treatment regimens. Materials and methods. 100 patients with bronchial asthma in combination with the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the background of hypertension were selected. Patients underwent: general clinical examination, determination of respiratory function, clinical blood tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, questionnaires to determine symptoms and quality of life, as well as a functional study with a six-minute walk test in the dynamics of complex basic treatment with the physical rehabilitation program. Research results. Adding an active rehabilitation program to standard medical treatment significantly improves the bronchial response to the action of bronchodilators according to the spirometry, reduces clinical manifestations, shortness of breath, and improves the quality of life and exercise tolerance. The presence of such criteria as the forced expiratory volume in 1 second < 69%, the forced expiratory flow 50% < 21.6% and the forced expiratory flow 75% < 31.65%, C-reactive protein > 7.6 g / l, interleukin 8 > 18.13 pg/ml may provide tolerance to the program of physical rehabilitation and the inexpediency of its use. Conclusions. Under the influence of rehabilitation measures applied by us, patients experienced some positive changes in cardiovascular and respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and quality of life, although some patients do not respond to the addition of a comprehensive rehabilitation program associated with such baseline parameters as forced expiratory volume in 1 second, forced expiratory flow 50% and the forced expiratory flow 75%, C-reactive protein, interleukin 8
