Quality of Life and Its Predictors in Patients With Mild Hypoxemia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Abstract
Measures of quality of life were obtained on 985 patients with mild hypoxemia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A subsample of 100 patients were also given extensive neuropsychological and personality tests. Mildly hypoxemic COPD patients showed impairment in quality-of-life activities. They showed less impairment in physical function, compared with previous studies on COPD patients with hypoxemia, but about equal impairment in psychosocial function and dysphoric mood. Nonrelated health changes in life do not seem to account for these findings. Degree of self-reported tension-anxiety was the single greatest predictor of both physical and psychosocial measures of quality of life. Level of exercise completed, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and neuropsychological status were significantly related to physical limitations, but not psychosocial functioning. The Pao2 was not significantly related to quality-of-life measures in this patient group.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
