Objectives: To compare changes in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) dropout and outcomes between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with and without cognitive impairment.Design: A cross-sectional observational study.Setting: Patients with COPD were recruited from a PR centre in the Netherlands.Participants: The study population consisted of 157 patients with clinically stable COPD who were referred for and completed PR.Measurements: A comprehensive neuropsychological examination before start of PR was administered. Changes from baseline to PR completion in functional exercise capacity [ 6-minute walk test (6MWT)], disease-specific health status [COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire-COPD specific (SGRQ-C)], psychological well-being [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)], COPD-related knowledge, and their need for information [Lung Information Needs Questionnaire (LINQ)] were compared between patients with and without cognitive impairment using independent samples t tests or Mann-Whitney U tests.Results: Out of 157 patients with COPD [mean age 62.9 (9.4) years, forced expiratory volume in the first second 54.6% (22.9%) predicted], 24 patients (15.3%) did not complete PR. The dropout rate was worse in patients with cognitive impairment compared to those without cognitive impairment (23.3% and 10.3%, P = .03). Mean changes in PR outcomes after PR did not differ between completers with and without cognitive impairment. The proportion of patients with a clinically relevant improvement in 6MWT, CAT, SGRQ-C, HADS, and LINQ scores was comparable for patients with and without cognitive impairment.Conclusion: PR is an effective treatment for patients with COPD and cognitive impairment. Yet patients with cognitive impairment are at increased risk for not completing the PR program. (C) 2016 AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine.
