Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) participation is the standard of care for
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who remain
symptomatic despite bronchodilator therapies. However, there are questions
about specific aspects of PR programming including optimal site of
rehabilitation delivery, components of rehabilitation programming, duration
of rehabilitation, target populations and timing of rehabilitation. The
present document was compiled to specifically address these important
clinical issues, using an evidence-based, systematic review process led by a
representative interprofessional panel of experts.
