Popis: The aim of this pilot retrospective study was to test the Rehabilitation complexity scale (RCS-E v13) in patients from 15 Italian pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) units and correlate RCS-E v13 to the most used clinical and functional outcome measures. At admission and discharge, clinical data [comorbidities with the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS)], Barthel Index (BI), Barthel Index dyspnea (BI-d), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and six-minute walking test (6MWT) were collected, and RCS-E total score calculated. Two-hundred nineteen patients [30.6% COPD, 43.4% chronic respiratory failure (CRF), and 26% with invasive ventilation (IV)], aged 69.9 (11.2) years were considered. RCS-E at admission 8.63 (1.69), 11.06 (2.50), 16.56 (2.97) and discharge 0.84 (1.02), 2.19 (1.5), 7.09 (1.47)] for COPD, CRF and IV respectively were statistically differed among groups (ANOVA p =
