Assessing the predictability of response to pulmonary rehabilitation with Viscovery SOMine

[News Viscovery]

Horn (NL) / Vienna (AT), 27 December 2018 Together with Ingrid Augustin and her colleagues from our long term customer CIRO+, we published the article Comprehensive lung function assessment does not allow to infer response to pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

This article examines whether the extent of improvement in lung function, exercise performance, daily activities, mood, and disease-specific health status of COPD patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation can be predicted from the lung function profile prior to rehabilitation. The lung function data is clustered with Viscovery SOMine to obtain and statistically analyze groups of patients with similar profiles.
