Resumen
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is preventable and treatable,
characterized by airflow limitation and its main symptoms are dyspnea and
cough.This study if chronic disease controls functional capacity and associated
pulmonary obstructive factors. It is a cross-sectional study with cross-sectional
analysis, carried out, at a university hospital in the interior of the state, with patients
observed from the data with COPD, very observed in all its degrees (mild), II (severe)
and IV (severe). Assessment capacity was performed using the Six-Minute God Test
(6MWD), the risk for sarcopen SARCF Questionnaire + CC, and the clinical impact of
COPD by pellagra was quantified by the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). In addition,
data on primary factors of these patients were identified. Of the 37 patients (59.5%
female; 81.1% elderly), 30 have reduced functional capacity, of these, 53.3% are at
risk for sarcopenia and 93.3% have some clinical impact of COPD, being 53.3% a
light to moderate impact and 40% a severe and very severe impact. It is concluded
that the vast majority of patients have diagnostic repercussions of COPD on their
health that go beyond pulmonary changes, leading to functional capacity and,
consequently, quality of life.
