In my opinion, the pulmonary rehabilitation and its effects play a significant role in the life of COPD patients. It just not only improves the health-related quality of life of the patients with COPD but also reduces the cost of health care, hospital admissions and ER visits, and the level of perceived dyspnea. Therefore, the providers should encourage and provide referral to the patients to visit rehabilitation centers upon hospital discharge and educate them about its benefits. Due to lack of information, patient participation would decline and results in poor patient’s outcome.
