Chalmers JD, et al. - Researchers focused on the benefits of post-exacerbation pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in bronchiectasis. In patients followed an antibiotic treated exacerbation of bronchiectasis, they compared PR (n=9) to standard care (SC, n=18). In both groups, significant improvement was evident in 6-min walk distance from post-exacerbation to 8 weeks, with no significant difference between PR and SC- mean difference of 11 m. No significant difference was evident in the time to the next exacerbation. Leicester cough questionnaire, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test, forced expiratory volume in 1 s or St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire between groups did not differ significantly. Overall, PR following exacerbations of bronchiectasis did not provide any significant benefits.
