NCT02348151
It is still not clearly known whether doing the walk test in a course is different from doing it on a treadmill in the lack of a ten-meter-long corridor. In case of a positive outcome in this study, we will have an alternative for this test in places where there is not enough room, benefiting the assessment of COPD patients' functional capacity. In the literature, there are still some controversies about performing the test on a treadmill or in a corridor and whether there is interference with the distance walked. Our hypothesis is that there is no interference with the distance walked, and thus we have one more option to perform the test in case there is no 10-meter corridor available.
NCT02255058
It was decided to develop a comprehensive disability score specifically designed for patients receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV); the collection of information included in the score should not impose any further intervention beyond what is routinely performed. So a new questionnaire was created (called the Multi-INdependency Dimensions (MIND) that included 3 sections (nurse, physiotherapist and medical doctor), 11 categories and 18 items. Each question was adapted to have a 5 item Likert scale. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate the psychometric performance of the MIND score in terms of validity, reliability and sensitivity to change over time. The secondary objective will be to assess the inclusion of biological markers on the overall performance of the MIND score
