          Abstract

          Mejorar la calidad de vida en enfermos con neumopatía es una meta de los programas de rehabilitación pulmonar. El cuestionario de St George's (CSG), ha demostrado confiabilidad en pacientes con limitación al flujo aéreo para medir capacidad funcional y disnea, así como calidad de vida. Para evaluar la tolerancia al ejercicio se utilizaron la caminata de 6 minutos y la caminata incremental Shuttle (CIS), quienes demuestran correlación con el consumo de oxígeno como indicador de la capacidad aeróbica. Objetivo: Evaluar la correlación entre CSG y CIS en enfermedad obstructiva (EPOC) y restrictiva. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional y transversal. Se revisaron enfermos que ingresaron por primera vez a rehabilitación pulmonar con diagnósticos de EPOC y neumopatía intersticial; se midió espirometría, CSG y CIS. Resultados: Se incluyeron 95 pacientes, 58 con patología restrictiva, 37 con EPOC. Se observó correlación positiva en los de enfermedad intersticial con la distancia caminada y el CSG en los rubros de actividades, impacto y el total del cuestionario. Correlacionó también con la FVC y FEV1 en valores absolutos y porcentajes. En pacientes obstructivos se encontró mayor correlación de la CIS y CSG. Conclusión: El deterioro de la calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedad intersticial correlacionó bien con la distancia caminada así como con las pruebas de función pulmonar. En pacientes con EPOC el deterioro de la calidad de vida fue independiente del resultado del FVC y FEV1 y CIS

          Improving quality of life, functional capacity and dyspnea in lung diseases is the main goal in pulmonary rehabilitation programs. St George's questionnaire (SGRQ), has demonstrated reliability in patients with air flow limitation. Exercise tolerance is evaluated with the 6 minute walk test and the incremental Shuttle test (1ST); it correlates with oxygen consumption VO2and indicates aerobic capacity. Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the correlation between SGRQ and 1ST in COPD and interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Material and methods: Retrospective, observational, transversal study. We reviewed first time admissions into the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program of patients with COPD and ILD by means of spirometry, SGRQ and 1ST. Results: We included 95 patients, 58 with ILD, and with 37 COPD. We found a positive correlation in ILD (1ST) and the SGRQ in the activity items, impact disease and the total of the questionnaire; also with FVC and FEV^ in absolute values and percentage. In COPD patients we found a better correlation between 1ST and the SGRQ but not with spirometry. Conclusion: Patients with interstitial lung diseases and poor function tests demonstrate a reduced exercise capacity and poor quality of life (QOL). Patients with COPD and poor QOL showed no correlation with the results of lung function tests

          Usefulness of the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale as a measure of disability in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

          Methods of classifying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depend largely upon spirometric measurements but disability is only weakly related to measurements of lung function. With the increased use of pulmonary rehabilitation, a need has been identified for a simple and standardised method of categorising disability in COPD. This study examined the validity of the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale for this purpose. One hundred patients with COPD were recruited from an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme. Assessments included the MRC dyspnoea scale, spirometric tests, blood gas tensions, a shuttle walking test, and Borg scores for perceived breathlessness before and after exercise. Health status was assessed using the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ). The Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living (EADL) score and Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) score were also measured. Of the patients studied, 32 were classified as having MRC grade 3 dyspnoea, 34 MRC grade 4 dyspnoea, and 34 MRC grade 5 dyspnoea. Patients with MRC grades 1 and 2 dyspnoea were not included in the study. There was a significant association between MRC grade and shuttle distance, SGRQ and CRQ scores, mood state and EADL. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was not associated with MRC grade. Multiple logistic regression showed that the determinants of disability appeared to vary with the level of disability. Between MRC grades 3 and 4 the significant covariates were exercise performance, SGRQ and depression score, whilst between grades 4 and 5 exercise performance and age were the major determinants. The MRC dyspnoea scale is a simple and valid method of categorising patients with COPD in terms of their disability that could be used to complement FEV1 in the classification of COPD severity.

            Development of a shuttle walking test of disability in patients with chronic airways obstruction.

            The aim was to develop a standardised and externally paced field walking test, incorporating an incremental and progressive structure, to assess functional capacity in patients with chronic airways obstruction. The usefulness of two different shuttle walking test protocols was examined in two separate groups of patients. The initial 10 level protocol (group A, n = 10) and a subsequent, modified, 12 level protocol (group B, n = 10) differed in the number of increments and in the speeds of walking. Patients performed three shuttle walking tests one week apart. Then the performance of patients (group C, n = 15) in the six minute walking test was compared with that in the second (modified) shuttle walking test protocol. Heart rate was recorded during all the exercise tests with a short range telemetry device. The 12 level modified protocol provided a measure of functional capacity in patients with a wide range of disability and was reproducible after just one practice walk; the mean difference between trial 2 v 3 was -2.0 (95% CI -21.9 to 17.9) m. There was a significant relation between the distance walked in the six minute walking test and the shuttle walking test (rho = 0.68) but the six minute walking test appeared to overestimate the extent of disability in some patients. The shuttle test provoked a graded cardiovascular response not evident in the six minute test. Moreover, the maximal heart rates attained were significantly higher for the shuttle walking test than for the six minute test. The shuttle walking test constitutes a standardised incremental field walking test that provokes a symptom limited maximal performance. It provides an objective measurement of disability and allows direct comparison of patients' performance.

              A self-complete measure of health status for chronic airflow limitation. The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

              A need was identified for a fixed-format self-complete questionnaire for measuring health in chronic airflow limitation. A 76-item questionnaire was developed, the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Three component scores were calculated: symptoms, activity, and impacts (on daily life), and a total score. Three studies were performed. (1) Repeatability was tested over 2 wk in 40 stable asthmatic patients and 20 patients with stable COPD. The coefficient of variation for the SGRQ total score was 19%. (2) SGRQ scores were compared with spirometry, 6-min walking distance (6-MWD), MRC respiratory symptoms questionnaire, anxiety, depression, and general health measured using the Sickness Impact Profile score. A total of 141 patients were studied, mean age 63 yr (range 31 to 75) and prebronchodilator FEV1, 47% (range 11 to 114%). SGRQ scores correlated with appropriate comparison measures. For example, symptom score versus frequency of wheeze, r2 = 0.32, p less than 0.0001; activity versus 6-MWD, r2 = 0.50, p less than 0.0001; impact versus anxiety, r2 = 0.38, p less than 0.0001. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that SGRQ scores summed a number of areas of disease activity. (3) Changes in SGRQ scores and other measures were studied over 1 yr in 133 patients. Significant correlations were found between changes in SGRQ scores and the comparison measures (minimum r2 greater than 0.05, p less than 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that change in total SGRQ score summed changes in a number of aspects of disease activity. We conclude that the SGRQ is a valid measure of impaired health in diseases of chronic airflow limitation that is repeatable and sensitive.
