What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Extensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation ProgramOther

    Fulltime pulmonary rehabilitation program. Duration: 12 weeks

Study groups in NCT01682447
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Extensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation (ERP)ExperimentalParticipants in this group are measured on primary and secondary outcome measures before and after a 12 week extensive pulmonary rehabilitation program.
Receives: Other: Extensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program
Waiting List Control groupNo interventionParticipants in the waiting list control group are measured on primary and secondary outcome measures before and after waiting time for the extensive pulmonary rehabilitation program and start with this program after the second moment of measurement.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Objective Cognitive functioning

    CNS-Vital Signs, computerized neuropsychological assessment WMS - Verbal Paired Associates Direct Recall Word fluency-category (GIT): animals \& profession Letter fluency: D-A-T Purdue Pegboard

    Measured: In the experimental group, this measure is assessed in the first and last week of rehabilitation with an average time frame of 11 weeks. In the Control group, this measure is assessed before and after waiting time with an average time frame of 5 weeks.

  2. Change in Mood and Anxiety

    Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Symptom Checklist 90 - Revised (SCL-90-R), subscales Anxiety, Depression, Agoraphobia

    Measured: In the experimental group, this measure is assessed in the first and last week of rehabilitation with an average time frame of 11 weeks. In the Control group, this measure is assessed before and after waiting time with an average time frame of 5 weeks.

  3. Change in Quality of Life

    Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)

    SF-36 Health Survey

    Measured: In the experimental group, this measure is assessed in the first and last week of rehabilitation with an average time frame of 11 weeks. In the Control group, this measure is assessed before and after waiting time with an average time frame of 5 weeks.

  4. Change in 6 Minute Walking distance Test(6-MWT)

    6 Minute Walking distance Test (6-MWT)

    Measured: In the experimental group, this measure is assessed in the first and last week of rehabilitation with an average time frame of 11 weeks. In the Control group, this measure is assessed before and after waiting time with an average time frame of 5 weeks.

  5. Change in Subjective Cognitive Functioning

    Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ)

    Measured: In the experimental group, this measure is assessed in the first and last week of rehabilitation with an average time frame of 11 weeks. In the Control group, this measure is assessed before and after waiting time with an average time frame of 5 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation

    Percentage of attendance of treatment session is collected from patients medical records.

    Adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation is specified as the percentage of the prescribed treatment sessions that patients actually attend. Adherence is further specified in the following categories: disease, motivation, other.

    We use this measure to explore the predictors (e.g., age, education, cognitive functioning) of adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation.

    Measured: These data are collected during the total period of pulmonary rehabilitation, which has a time frame of 12 weeks.

  2. Change in Fatigue

    Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ), subscale fatigue

    Measured: In the experimental group, this measure is assessed in the first and last week of rehabilitation with an average time frame of 11 weeks. In the Control group, this measure is assessed before and after waiting time with an average time frame of 5 weeks.

  3. Dropout from pulmonary rehabilitation

    Dropout can be specified as the percentage of patients who, though eligible, do not start pulmonary rehabilitation or patients who do not finish pulmonary rehabilitation. Dropout is further specified in the following categories: death, disease, motivation, practical (e.g. move).

    We use this measure to explore the predictors (e.g., age, education, cognitive functioning) of dropout from pulmonary rehabilitation.

    Measured: From the moment of randomization untill the moment of dropout from pulmonary rehabilitation, assessed up to 1 year after randomization.
