Pulmonary rehabilitation efficacy on quality of life and functional capacity in interstitial lung disease

Puntos clave

Pulmonary rehabilitation significantly improves quality of life and functional capacity in patients with interstitial lung disease.
Patients showed a 6-minute walk test improvement along with enhanced scores on the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire.
The intervention had a high compliance rate of 90%, indicating strong participant engagement and favorable sustainability of rehabilitation.
Larger studies are necessary to validate these findings and evaluate long-term impacts of pulmonary rehabilitation.

Resumen

The impact of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), functional capacity and compliance in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is of interest. Ten patients participated in a 3-month PR program, which significantly improved 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scores. High compliance (90%) was observed, with improvements in breathlessness and recovery perception. Thus, we show that PR is effective in enhancing HRQOL and functional capacity in ILD patients. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess long-term benefits.
