Dyspnoea is the most common symptom associated with poor quality of life in patients affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). While COPD severity is commonly staged by lung function, the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale has been proposed as a more clinically meaningful...
In multiple logistic regression analysis, the only variable independently related to the MRC is the distance walked at the 6MWT./p pConclusion/p pIn this population of IPF patients a good correlation was found between the MRC chronic dyspnoea score and physiological parameters obtained during ...
In this population of IPF patients a good correlation was found between the MRC chronic dyspnoea score and physiological parameters obtained during maximal and submaximal exercise testing known to reflect ventilatory impairment and exercise limitation as well as disease severity and survival. This finding...

LOWER LIMB FUNCTION AND EXERCISE PERFORMANCE IN DIFFERENT MRC DYSPNOEA SCALE CATEGORIES OF COPDBackground: Quadriceps dysfunction in COPD may be mediated by inflammatory mechanisms or impaired satellite cell function. Resistance training is of proven efficacy in these patients, but data on muscle ...
rehabilitation guidelines recommend offering pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to patients who consider themselves functionally disabled (usually defined as MRC Dyspnoea Scale grades 3 or above).2 3 We wished to test whether less breathless patients with COPD (ie, MRC Dyspnoea Scale grade 2) also benefit...
