Abstrakt: Rehabilitation is a cornerstone in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. KOALA is a web-based database where information about patients' rehabilitation sessions in hospital or in municipalities can be registered. A retrospective study of the effect of rehabilitation in 63 patients at Frederiksberg Hospital showed results in accordance with earlier studies. The database could be improved by including more co-morbidities and pharmacological treatment. Not all hospitals or municipalities employ KOALA which we would recommend to ensure quality assurance and material for further research.
