Pulmonary Rehabilitation Following acute COPD excaerbations can Reduce Readmissions and Improve Quadriceps
Thank you very intersting. I am not clear how frequent the usual care was in the control group and whether inhaled and oral therapy (theophyllines for example) were changed or modified in the course of follow in the control group of at the PR sessions in the treatment group. Is there any feel for differences in compliance in the two groups which conceivably might influence the result to some extent?
