Abstract：
:Pulmonary rehabilitation programs have resulted in improvements in quality of life, capacity for carrying out daily activities, and physical conditioning, as well as reduced hospitalization and cost of care. In our retrospective study, we reviewed the data of 75 patients who had participated in Loma Linda University Medical Center's pulmonary rehabilitation program--in order to determine its effect on survival, progression of disease, and quality of life for a selected group of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A multidisciplinary rehabilitation team evaluated each patient and developed for him a plan of care that included a 2-week inpatient education program. The cumulative survival rate of our group computed by the life table methods was 86.5% at 5 years of rehabilitation, and 64% at 10 years. The mean FEV1 at the beginning of the program was 1.53 1 and the mean FVC was 2.87 1; the mean change in FEV1 was - 45 ml/yr, and in FVC, - 70 ml/yr. By use of a questionnaire, we also found that most of our responding patients felt that their quality of life had improved. Our findings compare favorably with other published data and suggest that it is possible to improve the survival of patients with COPD by early diagnosis, comprehensive treatment, continuing medical care, and home visitation.
