What is Telerehabilitation Programme as a Maintenance Strategy for COPD Patients: A 12-Month Randomized Clinical Trial about?
## Background: There is uncertainty regarding efficacy of telehealth-based approaches in copd patients for sustaining benefits achieved with intensive pulmonary rehabilitation (pr). ## Research question: To determine whether a maintenance pulmonary telerehabilitation (telepr) programme, after intensive initial pr, is superior to usual care in sustaining over time benefits achieved by intensive pr. ## Study design and methods: A multicentre open-label pragmatic parallel-group randomized clinical trial was conducted. two groups were created at completion of an 8-week intensive outpatient hospital pr programme. intervention group (ig) patients were given appropriate training equipment and instructed to perform three weekly training sessions and send performance data through an app to a web-based platform. patients in the control group (cg) were advised to exercise regularly (usual care). ## Results: Ninety-four patients (46 ig, 48 cg) were randomized. the analysis of covariance showed non-significant improvements in 6-min walk distance [19.9m (95% ci -4.1/+43.8)] and chronic respiratory disease questionnaire - emotion score [0.4 points (0-0.8)] in the ig. secondary linear mixed models
