Introducción: La rehabilitación pulmonar (RP) es una intervención que disminuye los síntomas de la Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica (EPOC), incrementa la tolerancia al ejercicio, el estado emocional, la funcionalidad, la participación y la percepción de control de la enfermedad, mejorando la calidad de vida. Objetivo: Describir los efectos de la RP sobre dos escalas de calidad de vida y su influencia en la capacidad aeróbica funcional en pacientes con EPOC. Materiales y métodos: Estudio cuasiexperimental en pacientes que asistieron a RP. La capacidad aeróbica funcional se evaluó con el test de caminata de 6 minutos y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud con los cuestionarios St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) y Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ-SAS). Resultados: Diferencias significativas en test de caminata de 6 minutos 51.9±44.5 metros; p<0.001. El SGRQ en actividad (inicial:65.9±16.8 y final 50.8±19.5; p<0.001), síntomas (inicial 45±17.9; final 33.6±16.8; p=0.005), impacto (inicial 40.5±16.4; final 31.8±18.1; p=0.004) y total (inicial 49.8±14.8; final 40.7±17.7; p=0.002). El CRQ-SAS en disnea (inicial 3.8±1.3; final 4.7±1.1; p<0.001), emocional (inicial 5.1±1 final 5.7±0.9; p<0.001) y total (inicial 4.6±0.9 final 5.3±0.8; p<0.001). Conclusiones: La RP favorece la calidad de vida evaluada con el SGRQ y el CRQ-SAS y la capacidad aeróbica funcional de los pacientes con EPOC.

Standardized Mortality Ratios

Objectives. Mount Sakurajima in Japan is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. This work was conducted to examine the effect of volcanic ash on the chronic respiratory disease mortality in the vicinity of Mt. Sakurajima.Methods. The present work examined the standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of respiratory diseases during the period 1968–2002 in Sakurajima town and Tarumizu city, where ashfall from the volcano recorded more than 10.000 g/m2/yr on average in the 1980s.Results. The SMR of lung cancer in the Sakurajima-Tarumizu area was 1.61 (95% CI = 1.44–1.78) for men and 1.67 (95% CI = 1.39–1.95) for women while it was nearly equal to one in Kanoya city, which neighbors Tarumizu city but located at the further position from Mt. Sakurajima, and therefore has much smaller amounts of ashfall. Sakurajima-Tarumizu area had elevated SMRs for COPDs and acute respiratory diseases while Kanoya did not.Conclusions. Cristobalite is the most likely cause of the increased deaths from those chronic respiratory diseases since smoking is unlikely to explain the increased mortality of respiratory diseases among women since the proportion of smokers in Japanese women is less than 20%, and SPM levels in the Sakurajima-Tarumizu area were not high. Further studies seem warranted.

La Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica (EPOC) se caracteriza por limitación crónica al flujo aéreo con cambios patológicos pulmonares y significativos cambios extrapulmonares ocasionando importantes cambios en la calidad de vida de quien la padece. Objetivo: describir la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS) en pacientes con EPOC que asisten a consulta en un centro de atención primaria en la ciudad de Pereira, Colombia. Materiales y método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal que incluyó a 43 pacientes de ambos sexos con 40 años de edad o más, con diagnóstico confirmado de EPOC, que asistieron a consulta en un centro de atención primaria de la ciudad de Pereira entre junio a diciembre del 2019 y cumplieron criterios de inclusión; se evaluó CVRS mediante el cuestionario Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire. Resultados: la caracterización sociodemográfica de los pacientes reportó edades promedio 67,8 ±7,8 años, y el género que predominó fue el masculino con un 67,4%. El puntaje total del cuestionario en CVRS, tuvo como mediana para el grupo de estudio de 4,9 (Irq, ±1,1). No hubo diferencias significativas por sexo ni edad. La disnea fue la dimensión con menor puntaje, comparativamente con las demás dimensiones del cuestionario. Conclusión: la Disnea es el principal síntoma con mayor impacto en las actividades de la vida cotidiana de los pacientes e induce a la sensación de fatiga y agrava la percepción del impacto de la enfermedad en sus vidas.

Prevalence Of Pain

Purpose: This study reports on the prevalence and impact of pain in individuals with different chronic respiratory diseases attending pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Method: A retrospective review of medical records data was conducted for 488 participants who had attended a PR programme over a 2-year period. Data on pain and medication history taken from multidisciplinary medical records, together with participant demographics and PR outcomes, were extracted. We compared pain among participants with different types of chronic respiratory disease. Results: The overall prevalence of pain was 77%, with a significantly higher prevalence among individuals with obstructive lung diseases (80%) compared with restrictive lung diseases (69%; p = 0.04). Some participants (17%) who took pain medications did not discuss pain with their clinicians. The presence of pain and different reporting of pain did not have a negative impact on the PR programme completion rate ( p = 0.74), improvements in exercise capacity ( p = 0.51), or health-related quality of life (all four chronic respiratory disease questionnaire domains, p > 0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of pain is high among individuals with chronic respiratory disease attending PR. The presence or absence of pain was not negatively associated with the programme completion rate or PR outcomes; therefore, pain should not deter clinicians from referring patients to PR.
