About this study

Official title: Factors Predicting Success in Lung Transplant Recipients Who Have Participated in the COLTT Program (Daily Intensive Post-hospitalization Rehabilitation): A Retrospective Review

This is a retrospective review of the COLTT program outcomes and factors that predict recovery of functional status after lung transplantation.

Read the detailed description

The Center of Life for Thoracic Transplant (COLTT) program is a daily (5 days per week) intensive rehabilitation program for patients who have undergone lung transplant. Patients are enrolled in COLTT as part of standard care after hospital discharge. This study is a retrospective review of seventy patients that measures the efficacy of the COLTT program and establishes predictors of patient success.This study will also measure the effect of functional outcomes on hospital readmission post COLTT discharge.

What participants receive

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

  • ExerciseOther

    5 days per week, 2.5 hours per day strength, balance and endurance training on an outpatient basis

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to reach program goals (days)

    The number of days in the COLTT program required to reach program goals ( see secondary outcomes measures)

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Gait speed (mph, % expected)

    Gait speed (walking speed) is measured daily on a oval track

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks

  2. Single leg stance performance (seconds, % expected)

    The test result of a single leg stance test. Patients stand with hands on their hips, raise one leg off the ground and hold it for as long as possible.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks

  3. One-minute sit to stand performance (number, % expected)

    The test result of a one-minute sit to stand test. Patients stand/sit from a chair as many times as they can in one minute.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks

  4. Six minute walk distance (feet, % expected)

    The test result of a six-minute walk test, a field test of exercise capacity

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
