To the Editor: We thank Thakur and Bhatia for their insightful letter, “Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD: Bridging Evidence and Practice for Compre-hensive Patient-centered Care,” and for their gracious recognition of our study, “From Breathless-ness to Better Living: Transforming COPD Care with Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation.” We appreciate their remarks, which underscore the value of our findings and enrich the discussion with constructive suggestions to further strengthen home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR).
