Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Brief summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is a systemic disease which includes pulmonary, cardiac, muscular, digestive and cognitive impairments. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a symptomatic treatment to reduce dyspnea and functional incapacity. However, it effects on cognitive dysfunction are not well known. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program on cognitive dysfunction in patients with severe to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment tool.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Baseline cognitive functionCognitive function is assessed at the beginning of the rehabilitation program : day 0Cognitive function is assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessement tool
Cognitive function after pulmonary rehabilitationCognitive function is assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program : day 60Cognitive function is assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessement tool
Cognitive function : follow upCognitive function is assessed 3 month after rehabilitation : day 150Cognitive function is assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessement tool
Change in cognitive function from baseline to the end of pulmonary rehabilitationChange in cognitive function from baseline to the end of pulmonary rehabilitation is assessed with end of pulmonary rehabilitation minus baseline values (day 60 - day 0)Cognitive function is assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessement tool
Change in cognitive function from the end of pulmonary rehabilitation to 3 month of follow upChange in cognitive function from the end of pulmonary rehabilitation to 3 month of follow up is assessed with the 3 month of follow minus the end of pulmonary rehabilitation values (day 150 - day 60)Cognitive function is assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessement tool

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of life : baselineQuality of life is assessed at the beginning of the rehabilitation program : day 0Quality of life is assessed using the Saint Georges Respiratory Questionnaire
Quality of life : end of pulmonary rehabilitationQuality of life is assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program : day 60Quality of life is assessed using the Saint Georges Respiratory Questionnaire
Quality of life : follow-upQuality of life is assessed 3 month after the end of the rehabilitation program : day 150Quality of life is assessed using the Saint Georges Respiratory Questionnaire
Functional capacity (six-minute walk test) : baselineFunctional capacity is assessed at the beginning of the rehabilitation program : day 0Functional capacity is assessed with the six-minute walk test
Functional capacity (six-minute stepper test) : end of pulmonary rehabilitationFunctional capacity is assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program : day 60Functional capacity is assessed with the six-minute stepper test
Relation between the cognitive function and the respiratory function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second)The relation is assessed between baseline demographic data at day 0Cognitive function is assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessement tool and respiratory function is assessed with spirometric evaluation
Functional capacity (six-minute stepper test) : baselineFunctional capacity is assessed at the beginning of the rehabilitation program : day 0Functional capacity is assessed with the six-minute stepper test
AdherenceAdherence is assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program : day 60Adherence to the pulmonary rehabilitation program is assessed by the following equation : number of session performed divided by the number of scheduled sessions
Anxiety and depression : baselineAnxiety and depression are assessed at the beginning of the rehabilitation program : day 0Anxiety and depression are assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD).
Anxiety and depression : end of pulmonary rehabilitationAnxiety and depression are assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program : day 60Anxiety and depression are assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD).
Anxiety and depression : follow upAnxiety and depression are assesses 3 month after the end of pulmonary rehabilitation program : day 150Anxiety and depression are assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD).
