Capacidade funcional em indivíduos com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is preventable and treatable, characterized by airflow limitation and its main symptoms are dyspnea and cough.This study if chronic disease controls functional capacity and associated pulmonary obstructive factors. It is a cross-sectional study with cross-sectional analysis, carried out, at a university hospital in the interior of the state, with patients observed from the data with COPD, very observed in all its degrees (mild), II (severe) and IV (severe). Assessment capacity was performed using the Six-Minute God Test (6MWD), the risk for sarcopen SARCF Questionnaire + CC, and the clinical impact of COPD by pellagra was quantified by the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). In addition, data on primary factors of these patients were identified. Of the 37 patients (59.5% female; 81.1% elderly), 30 have reduced functional capacity, of these, 53.3% are at risk for sarcopenia and 93.3% have some clinical impact of COPD, being 53.3% a light to moderate impact and 40% a severe and very severe impact. It is concluded that the vast majority of patients have diagnostic repercussions of COPD on their health that go beyond pulmonary changes, leading to functional capacity and, consequently, quality of life.
