Purpose
Short term efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation for improving functional capacity and quality of life of chronic obstructive respiratory disease (COPD) patient is well known. However, there is an important gap between the scientific knowledge and the clinical use of pulmonary rehabilitation since a a very small number of patients benefit from this therapeutic intervention. We estimate that less than 1% of the 750 000 canadians suffering from COPD have access to a pulmonary rehabilitation program. We want to study the efficacy of a home-based rehabilitation program as a way to facilitate the access to rehabilitation.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- The dyspnea of the chronic respiratory questionnaire (CRQ) at 12 months is the primary outcome variable.

Effects of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized trial. Ann Int Med 2008;149:869-878.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- 2-CRQ total score and specific domains, exercise tolerance (6MWD and submaximal exercise test) and ADL at 4 months. [ Time Frame: The data collection was terminated in January 2007. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 3-Health service utilization (physician and emergency department visits, hospitalizations) over the 1-year study period. [ Time Frame: The data collection was terminated in January 2007. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- 4 Intervention cost. [ Time Frame: The data collection was terminated in January 2007. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Hospital-based
This group has to go at the hospital 3 times per week to do the exercise program.
|
Behavioral: Pulmonary rehabilitation (teaching and exercise)
After a 4-week education program, patients took part to home-based rehabilitation or outpatient hospital-based rehabilitation for 8 weeks. Patients were subsequently followed for 40 weeks to complete the one-year study.
|
|
Active Comparator: Home-Based
The group had to do the exercise program at home with indirect supervision (Polar watches and a phone call per week).
|
Behavioral: Pulmonary rehabilitation (teaching and exercise)
After a 4-week education program, patients took part to home-based rehabilitation or outpatient hospital-based rehabilitation for 8 weeks. Patients were subsequently followed for 40 weeks to complete the one-year study.
