Responsiveness to pulmonary rehabilitation in people with COPD is related with microbiota changes
Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is one of the most cost-effective therapies for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is not equally effective for all patients and the reasons for non-response are mostly unknown. PR may change the airway microbiota which might play a role in its responsiveness. We have explored PR-induced changes in microbiota and inflammation and its link with responsiveness to PR.
