Scientific titleEffects of a home-based versus hospital-based outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a multicentre, randomised trial
Study objectivesTo compare the effectiveness of self-monitored, home-based rehabilitation versus outpatient hospital-based rehabilitation to improve quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

InterventionHome-based exercise training for 12 weeks or hospital-based exercise training for 12 weeks.

Trial details received: 12 Sept 2005
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureDyspnoea domain of the chronic respiratory questionnaire (CRQ) at 12 months
Secondary outcome measures1. Total CRQ score and other CRQ domains, exercise tolerance (6MWD and submaximal exercise test) and activity of daily living (ADL) at 12 months
2. CRQ total score and specific domains, exercise tolerance (6MWD and submaximal exercise test) and ADL at 4 months
3. Health service utilisation (physician and emergency department visits, hospitalisations) over the 1-year study period
