Early HomeBase pulmonary rehabilitation after hospitalisation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

After a period of hospitalisation, pulmonary rehabilitation can improve symptoms and function and reduce healthcare costs in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Yet less than 10% of people with COPD access pulmonary rehabilitation after a hospital stay. This multi-site randomised controlled trial will examine the benefits and costs of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation undertaken immediately following hospitalisation, compared to usual care, for people with COPD.
