Pulmonary rehabilitation and functional independence: Impact on survival in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Inpatient PR improves functional independence in patients with fibrotic ILD or COPD, and baseline and change in FIM are associated with survival up to three years post-PR. This emphasizes the importance of PR for all patients with chronic lung disease regardless of their initial level of independence.
