Analysis of Prognostis Factors and Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Yiming XU, Honghua SHEN, Jingbo DU, Lei REN

“…The factors affecting survival were investigated, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze various factors affecting the survival of COPD patients.Results:①The 38 cases of COPD grade III died of respiratory diseases, and 43 cases of COPD gradeⅣdied of respiratory diseases.②According to the single factor correlation analysis, pulmonary function grade, BODE index, aerobic exercise intensity and frequency of acute episodes were the factors influencing the survival rate of COPD patients within two years after 20-week pulmonary rehabilitation (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05), but sex, age, and the use of noninvasive ventilator had no obviously effect on survival rate of the COPD patients (<italic>P</italic>&gt; 0.05). ③From multifactor correlation analysis, pulmonary function grade, BODE index, aerobic exercise intensity and frequency of acute episodes were the factors influencing the survival rate of COPD patients within two years after 20-week pulmonary rehabilitation (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05), but the use of noninvasive ventilator had no obviously effect on survival rate of the COPD patients (<italic>P</italic>&gt; 0.05). …”
