Abstract:
This study investigates the influence of demographic factors such as smoking index and disease duration on COPD severity and the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation. Conducted as a prospective observational study at JLN Medical College, Ajmer, it included 30 COPD patients assessed over two months. Statistical analyses revealed significant variations in post-bronchodilator FEV1 (p=0.04) and 6MWT (p=0.004) across different smoking index groups. Disease duration also influenced Borg dyspnoea scale scores (p=0.001). The findings suggest that demographic factors play a crucial role in COPD progression and response to rehabilitation
