Changes in problematic activities of daily living in persons with COPD during 1 year of usual care
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often limited in performing their activities of daily living (ADLs). However, it remains unknown whether and to what extent problematic ADLs change over time and whether exacerbation-related hospitalisations affect problematic ADLs. Therefore, we investigated self-reported problematic ADLs of persons with COPD during 1 year of usual care (i.e. without a specific experimental intervention). METHODS: Stable persons with moderate to very severe COPD (n = 137) were included in this longitudinal study (registered in the Dutch Trial Register [NTR 3941]). Participants were visited at home at baseline and after 1 year. Participants with an exacerbation-related hospitalisation during follow-up were visited additionally within 2 weeks after hospital discharge. During all visits, participants' personalised problematic ADLs were assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and perceived performance and satisfaction of important problematic ADLs were rated on a 10-point scale. RESULTS: In total, 90% of the participants reported at least one new important problematic ADL after 1 year. In the subgroup of participants with an exacerbation-related hospitalisation (n = 31), 92% of the participants reported new problematic ADLs 2 weeks after discharge and 90% reported new problematic ADLs again after 1 year. Only the satisfaction score of problematic ADLs as mentioned during baseline improved after 1-year follow-up in all participants (p = .002) and in participants without an exacerbation-related hospitalisation (n = 106; p = .014). CONCLUSION: Problematic ADLs changed during 1 year of usual care, which underlines the need for regular assessment of problematic ADLs and referral to treatment options like monodisciplinary occupational therapy and/or a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation programme.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
