MODERN APPROACHES TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

The article analyzes the clinical effectiveness of the course of pulmonary rehabilitation for the prevention of exacerbations of COPD. The study included 92 patients diagnosed with COPD (GOLD 2), group D without exacerbation, "phenotype with frequent exacerbations", who received standard medical treatment for the underlying disease. A significantly higher clinical efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation against the background of standard therapy was demonstrated, consisting in a significant reduction in the number of exacerbations and hospitalizations, positive dynamics of the severity of clinical symptoms of COPD, a significantly more pronounced decrease in the level of systemic biomarkers, increased tolerance to physical activity, and improved quality of life of patients. The results were evaluated after 12 months, using the computer program "Management system of the therapeutic and diagnostic process in patients with bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Pulmosys)".
