Popis: Introduction: It has been estimated that 47% of people with COPD referred to pulmonary rehabilitation programs experience exercise-induced desaturation (EID) (nadir SpO2 Aim: To determine whether there is a difference in functional exercise capacity and PA levels in people with COPD with EID and without EID. Methods: This was an observational study comparing outcomes in COPD people with and without EID. PA was assessed as the average of (i) number of steps per day, and (ii) time spent in sedentary (0 to Results: 65 participants were recruited to the EID group (mean (SD) age 70 (7) years, FEV1 50 (20) %predicted, nadir SpO2 84 (4)%) and 77 participants to the no EID group (age 69 (8), FEV1 48 (14) %predicted). Functional exercise capacity was lower in the EID group compared to the no EID group (6MWD 406 (97) m vs 479 (81) m, mean difference (95% CI) -73m (-43 to -102), p Conclusion: Functional exercise capacity and PA levels were lower in people with COPD who had EID compared to those without EID, despite similar age and disease severity.
