To comprehensively evaluate the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) outcomes of patients with chronic respiratory disease (CRD), and to screen biomarkers for predicting different PR outcomes of patients with CRD using metabolomics methods, and to build a prediction model.

profiles of metabolites in serum and exhale breath condensate (EBC) at baseline and after pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation outcome
Systemic multidimensional measurements (SMM) will be used to evaluate the outcomes of PR program, the patients will be grouped in very good, good, moderate and poor responders by cluster analysis. SMM are as follows: changes in the degree of dyspnea will be measured using the modified Medical Research Council scale; the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire will be use to evaluate changes in health status; exercise performance will be measured by a 6-min walk test and a constant work-rate test; the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure will be used to identify specific problematic activities of daily life; patients scored how well they were performing the problematic activities of daily life and how satisfied they were with this level of performance; symptoms of anxiety and depression will be measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The efficacy of the PR program of the whole sample will be evaluated based on the minimal clinically importance.
Time frame: At week 12 of pulmonary rehabilitation
