Popis: Introduction The present study assessed the prevalence of nine treatable traits (TTs) pinpointing nonpharmacological interventions in patients with COPD upon first referral to a pulmonologist, how these TTs co-occurred and whether and to what extent the TTs increased the odds having a severely impaired health status. Methods Data were collected from a sample of 402 COPD patients. A second sample of 381 patients with COPD was used for validation. Nine TTs were assessed: current smoking status, activity-related dyspnoea, frequent exacerbations
Patients with COPD show numerous nonpharmacological treatable traits (TTs) upon referral to a pulmonologist. These TTs coexist in many different combinations, are relatively independent and increase the likelihood of a severely impaired health status. https://bit.ly/355mhpj
