COPD patients in the northern suburbs of the Western Cape Metropole hospitalised due to acute exacerbation : baseline studyPienaar, Lunelle Lanine 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScPhysio)--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Acute exacerbation is an important event of COPD as it causes significant disability and
mortality. Especially repeated hospitalisation of patients with acute exacerbation has been
associated with reduce quality of life and excessive hospitalisation cost. Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease causes significant functional limitations that translate into enormous
economic and societal burden.
Study Aim: To describe the profile and selected outcomes of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD) patients admitted with acute exacerbation to hospitals in the northern
suburbs of the Western Cape.
Study design: A multicenter retrospective descriptive single subject design was used.
Method: Patients admitted with the diagnosis of COPD with acute exacerbation in the time
period 01June 2004-01June 2005 were followed up retrospectively for a period of 12 months.
The demographics, medical condition on admission and past presentation of acute
exacerbation, length of stay in hospital and the number of readmissions for acute
exacerbation in the 12 month period were collected and recorded on a self designed data
capture sheet.
Results: One hundred and seventy eight patients were admitted with acute exacerbation at
the three hospitals. The mean age of the patients were 63 (±11.73), more males than females
(103: 75) were admitted. Subjects spent a mean of 5.67 (±6.55), days in hospital with every admission and admission frequency of up to eight periods were recorded. Of the n=178
admitted, 56% had one admission and 44% had 2 or more admissions in the study year. This
resulted in a total of 338 hospital admissions with the 78 subjects responsible for the majority
of admissions (238) Subjects presenting with two or more co-morbidities had a significantly
greater risk of multiple re admissions. Subjects with three or more admissions had two or
more co morbidities (p=0.001), comparatively those with one admission had only one co
morbidity. Congestive cardiac failure (p=0.01) as well as the lack of Long Term Oxygen
Therapy p=0.017) were associated with increase risk of three or more admissions.
Conclusion: Patients admitted with acute exacerbation to the hospitals where the study was
conducted presented with an age ranging from 30-95 years. Patients with 2 or more
admissions experience up to eight readmissions episodes in the study year. This is a cause of
concern in respect of the burden of disease on especially the younger economically viable
South African population. In the current study factors that influenced readmission were the
presence of two or more co morbid diseases, specifically the presence of congestive cardiac
failure as well as the lack of LTOT. Interventions including a pulmonary rehabilitation
programme post discharge should be aimed at decreasing frequency of hospitalisation
especially in those patients who are a risk of readmission. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Verergering van simptome in Kroniese Obstruktiewe Lugweg Siekte (KOLS) is baie belangrik
as gevolg van die ongeskiktheid en mortalitieit wat dit veroorsaak. Dit veroorsaak
vermindering in die kwaliteit van lewe en verhoog hospitaal koste verbind met die siekte. Die
beperkings toe te skrywe aan die Kroniese Obstruktiewe Lugweg Siekte veroorsaak
ontsettende ekonomiese en sosiale druk.
Doelstelling: Om die profiel en geselekteerde uitkomste van pasiente met Kroniese
Obstruktiewe Lugweg Siekte toegelaat met verergering in die hospitale van die noordelike
voorstede van die Wes Kaap te beskryf.
Studie ontwerp: ʼn Multisentrum retrospektiewe beskrywende enkel persoon studie.
Studie metode: Pasiente toegelaat met verergering van Kroniese Obstruktiewe Lugweg
Siekte in die periode 01Junie 2004-01Junie 2005 was retrospektief opgevolg vir ‘n periode
van 12-maande. Demografiese data, mediese toestand op toelating en ontslag, lengte van
hospitaal verblyf en getal toelatings in die 12- maande was gekollekteer en gedokumenteer
op self ontwerpde vorms.
Resultate: Een-honderd agt en seventig pasiente was toegelaat met verergering by die drie
hospitale. Die gemiddelde ouderdom van die studie populasie was 63 (±11.73) met meer
mans as vrouens (103: 75) toegelaat. Die studie populasie het gemiddelde dae van 5.67
(±6.55), in die hospitaal deurgebring en toelating frekwensie van agt episodes was
gedokumenteer. Van die n=178 toegelaat was 56% eenkeer toegelaat en 44% het 2 of meer toelatings in die studie jaar gehad. Dit het in 338 hospital toelaatings veroorsaak en 78 van
die studie populasie verantwoordelik vir die meeste van die toelatings (238). Die groep met
drie of meer toelatings in die studie jaar het twee of meer siektetoestande (p=0.001) gehad,
teenorgesteld met die wat net een toelaat was met een siektetoestand. Hart versaaking
(p=0.01) en die gebrek aan suurstof by die huis (p=0.017) was verbind met meer risiko van
drie of meer toelating.
Samevatting: Die ouderdoms verskil was wydbeskrywend van 30-95 jaar van die pasiente
wat in die studie jaar toegelaat is by die drie hospitale. Pasiente wat 2 of meer keer toegelaat
is het tot agt hertoelatings in die studie jaar gehad. Kommerwekkend is die uitwerking van die
siekte op die jonger werkend populasie in Suid Afrika. In die studie was hertoelating beinvloed
deur die teenwoordigheid van twee of meer siektetoestande, spesifiek hart versaaking sowel
as die gebrek aan suurstof by die huis. Intervensies insluitende pulmonale rehabilitasie na
ontslag se doel moet wees om vermindering van heraaldelike hospitalisasie in hoë risiko
pasiente vir hospitalisasie.

An adapted rehabilitation programme for a cross section of South African chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patientsDe Klerk, Danelle Ria 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD (Sport Science))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / The benefits of exercise training for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are well-documented. In South Africa, exercise programmes for COPD patients are limited and often expensive and inaccessible to the broader community. The purpose of this study was to assess the responses of COPD patients to an exercise programme and to determine if the same results can be obtained through a less costly programme. In the primary programme of the study, 22 subjects were subjected to 12 weeks of exercise training. Each subject underwent comprehensive pre- and post-intervention assessments, which included the measurement of overall health status by a physician, level of dyspnoea, forced expiratory lung function, exercise capacity, body mass index and health-related quality of life. Exercise sessions included aerobic and strength training exercises and involved three, hour-long exercise sessions a week. In the modified programme, 18 subjects were randomly divided into an experimental and control group. Eleven subjects were included in the experimental group and seven subjects in the control group. Subjects had to complete 32, hour-long exercise sessions in a 10-week period. The experimental group’s exercise programme was adapted so that no specialised equipment was used, while the control group exercised in a well-equipped exercise- and rehabilitation centre.

The effect of exercise in pulmonary rehabilitation on the quality of life of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patientsBrown, Jennifer Leigh 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScSportSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to measure the responses of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease patients to an exercise programme in a South Africa setting. Nine
subjects were evaluated before and after aerobic and resistance training three times a
week for the total of 12 weeks. Each evaluation measured forced expiratory lung
function; health-related quality of life; functional capacity; level of dyspnea; body
composition; physician global evaluation; and the patient global evaluation. The
exercise programme consisted of one-hour exercise sessions, three times a week for 12
weeks. The exercise sessions included elements of aerobic and resistance training of
the upper and lower extremities. Functional capacity improved drastically (p < 0.01),
as did the physician and the patient global evaluations (p < 0.01 and p < 0.01,
respectively). Levels of dyspnea also improved (p < 0.01). Health-related quality of
life improved marginally (p = 0.03). No significant change was noted in lung function
and body composition. The study concluded that an exercise programme consisting of
aerobic and resistance training improves chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
patients' health-related quality of life, functional capacity and levels of dyspnea.
Exercise also reduces the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as are
perceived by the physician and patient alike. Exercise does not change lung function or
body composition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Exercise in
conjunction with appropriate medical treatment has the potential to benefit all chronic
obstructive patients in South Africa.
Keywords: COPD, quality oflife, functional capacity, rehabilitation, exercise. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die studie was om die reaksies te meet van pasiënte met chroniese
obstruktiewe pulmonêre siekte op 'n oefenprogram in 'n Suid-Afrikaanse konteks.
Nege proefpersone is voor en na aërobiese en weerstandsoefening drie keer per week
vir 'n totaal van 12 weke geëvalueer. Elke evaluering het die volgende gemeet:
geforseerde ekspiratoriese longfunksie, gesondheidsverwante lewenskwalitiet,
funksionele kapasiteit; dispneevlak, liggaamsamestelling; geneesheer algehele
evaluering asook pasiënt algehele evaluering. Die oefenprogram het uit een-uur sessies
bestaan, wat drie keer per week vir 12 weke plaasgevind het. Die oefensessies het
elemente van aërobiese en weerstandsoefeninge van die boonste en onderste ledemate
ingesluit. Funksionele kapasiteit het drasties verbeter (p < 0.01), net so ook die
geneesheer en pasiënt algehele evaluerings (p < 0.01 en p < 0.01, respektiewelik).
Dispneevlakke het ook verbeter (p < 0.01). Gesondheidsverwante lewenskwaliteit het
marginaal verbeter (p = 0.03). Geen beduidende veranderinge is in die longfunksie en
liggaamsamestelling gevind nie. Die studie het bevind dat 'n oefenprogram wat uit
aërobiese en weerstandsoefening bestaan gesondheidsverwante lewenskwaliteit,
funksionele kapasiteit asook dispneevlakke van pasiënte met chroniese obstruktiewe
pulmonêre siekte verbeter. Oefening verminder ook die simptome van chroniese
obstruktiewe pulmonêre siekte soos waargeneem deur beide die geneesheer en pasiënt.
Oefening verander ook nie longfunksie of liggaamsamestelling van pasiënte met
chroniese obstruktiewe pulmonêre siekte nie. Oefening tesame met die geskikte
mediese behandeling kan voordelig wees vir chronies obstruktiewe pasiënte in Suid-
Afrika.
Keywords: KOPS, lewenskwaliteit, funksionele kapasiteit, rehabilitasie, oefening.
