Key result
Reporting 1-149 minutes per week of moderate or vigorous physical activity was associated with a lower risk of 30-day readmission compared with inactivity (RR 0.67; 95% CI 0.55-0.81).
Why the study?
Does regular physical activity reduce 30-day all-cause readmission in patients hospitalized for COPD?

Does regular physical activity reduce 30-day all-cause readmission in patients hospitalized for COPD?
Any level of moderate or vigorous physical activity is associated with a significantly lower risk of 30-day all-cause readmission in patients hospitalized for COPD.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support activity assessment in COPD transitions; hypothesis-generating and needs RCTs before practice change.

Nguyen et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n=4,596). Moderate or vigorous physical activity (MVPA) vs. Inactive patients was evaluated on 30-day all-cause readmission (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.55-0.81). Reporting 1-149 minutes per week of moderate or vigorous physical activity was associated with a lower risk of 30-day readmission compared with inactivity (RR 0.67; 95% CI 0.55-0.81).
