#ATS2019 #pulmonaryrehab Interesting presentation by Kerry Spitzer, Springfield MA. Post hospitalisation PR: 1) very low referral rates in US 2) higher in geographical areas with higher presence of PR programmes BUT 3) lower referral rates remain in African- Americans vs White

#ATS2018 Great start by Harry Rossiter and @troosters. Exercise intensity matters but so does translation into daily life. #pulmonaryrehab #physicalactivity. Great comment by patient "exercise allows me to live but exercise enables me to have a life". #COPD teapaw.org/PR_Assembly/status/998…
Looking forward to the Pro Con debate this morning. Topics include debate on what the goal of #pulmonaryrehab should be, muscle fibre atrophy, exercise intolerance and the reversal of muscle dysfunction. See you there!!! teapaw.org/PR_Assembly/status/998…

CYR #ATS2018 Mean wait for Pulmonary Rehab is75 Days! It’s like waiting for nearly 3 months for prednisone Rx for COPD exacerbation! Efforts are being made to improve the waiting by home and internet based Pulmonary Rehab. Good data but challenging sustainability. #Icurehab
