TranslatePriority 16 from the COPD Exacerbation PSP
| UNCERTAINTY: Does regular exercise reduce the risk of having an exacerbation (and to what level of exercise)? (JLA PSP Priority 16) | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | 16 |
| JLA question ID | 0104/16 |
| Explanatory note | This question seeks to understand whether regular exercise might be associated with better prevention of exacerbations. There is good evidence that an education and exercise programme called 'Pulmonary Rehabiliation' is effective, but less evidence on what level of exercise in daily life would be required to maintain this benefit. |
| Evidence |
Limited evidence at COPD exacerbations. |
| Health Research Classification System category | Respiratory |
