    José Luis Lopez-Campos, Pilar Cejudo, Eduardo Marquez, Francisco Ortega, Esther Quintana, Carmen Carmona, Emilia BarrotUnidad Médico-Quirúrgica de Enfermedades Respiratorias, Hospitales Universitarios Virgen del Rocío, Seville, SpainAim: It has been recently shown that the original BODE index has a high degree of correlation with two modified BODE indexes using maximal oxygen uptake expressed either as mL/min/kg (mBODE) or as the percentage predicted (mBODE%). In this study we investigated the agreement between the two modified BODE indexes (mBODE and mBODE%) in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods: A total of 169 patients with stable COPD were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Differences between the two mBODE indexes were assessed using kappa coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. One out of every three patients underwent the six-minute walking test to investigate the agreement with the original BODE index.Results: Correlations between the two mBODE indexes with each other (r = 0.96, P < 0.001) and with the original BODE index (mBODE r = 0.88, P < 0.001; mBODE% r = 0.93, P < 0.001) were excellent. However, the two mBODE indexes were significantly different from each other (mBODE 5.27 ± 2.3 versus mBODE% 4.31 ± 2.5; P < 0.001). The kappa coefficients were significantly lower (entire study group k = 0.5, P < 0.001) for every GOLD stage. The mean difference between the two mBODE indexes was 0.8 ± 0.6 units. Differences with the original BODE were higher for the mBODE (1.8 ± 0.9) than for the mBODE% (0.6 ± 0.8).Conclusions: The new mBODE indexes are highly correlated but significantly different from each other. The differences between the novel indexes deserve further scrutiny.Keywords: BODE index, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, exercise testing, multidimensional evaluation, oxygen uptak

    Development of the i-BODE: Validation of the incremental shuttle walking test within the BODE index

    No full text
    SummaryBackgroundThe BODE index has been shown to predict mortality in COPD. The index includes the 6 min walking test as the measure of exercise capacity. The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) is an alternative measure of exercise capacity which can be used to prescribe exercise and has been found to correlate well with peak VO2. The objective of the study was to evaluate the incorporation of the ISWT within the BODE index (named the i-BODE) to predict mortality in COPD.MethodsData was analysed from 633 patients with COPD attending pulmonary rehabilitation over an 11 year period, and mortality determined a minimum of one year on from initial assessment. An i-BODE score was calculated using ISWT(m) then Cox regression analysis evaluated the capacity of the index to predict risk of death.ResultsBMI, ISWT (m), MRC dyspnoea score, pack years and age were all significantly associated with mortality. Cox regression revealed the i-BODE index was an independent and significant predictor of mortality (hazard ratio 1.27 (CI 1.17–1.35), p < 0.001) and Kaplan Meier survival analysis showed each quartile increase in severity in i-BODE score was significantly associated with increased mortality (p < 0.001 by log rank test).ConclusionWe have found the i-BODE index to be an independent predictor of mortality in COPD, even when other strong predictors such as age and pack years are adjusted for. We conclude that the ISWT can be successfully substituted for the 6MWT as an alternative measure of exercise capacity within the BODE index

    Adrenomedullin refines mortality prediction by the BODE index in COPD - The "BODE-A" index.

    peer reviewedThe BODE index is well-validated for mortality prediction in COPD. Concentrations of plasma proadrenomedullin, a surrogate for mature adrenomedullin, independently predicted 2-year mortality among inpatients with COPD exacerbation.We compared accuracy of initial proadrenomedullin level, BODE, and BODE components, alone or combined, in predicting 1-year or 2-year all-cause mortality in a multicenter, multinational observational cohort with stable, moderate to very severe COPD.Proadrenomedullin was significantly associated (P<0.001) with 1-year mortality (4.7%) and 2-year mortality (7.8%), and comparably predictive to BODE regarding both (C statistics: 0.691 vs. 0.745, 0.635 vs. 0.679). Relative to using BODE alone, adding proadrenomedullin significantly improved 1-year and 2-year mortality prognostication (C statistics: 0.750, 0.818; both P<0.001). Proadrenomedullin plus BOD was more predictive than was the original BODE including 6-minute-walk distance. In multivariable analysis, proadrenomedullin (LR X2 13.0, P<0.001), body mass index (8.5, P=0.004), and 6-minute-walk distance (7.5, P=0.006), but not modified MMRC dyspnoea score (2.2, P=0.14) or FEV1 % predicted (0.3, P=0.60), independently foretold 2-year survival.Proadrenomedullin plus BODE better predicts mortality in COPD patients than does BODE alone; proadrenomedullin may substitute for 6-minute-walk distance in BODE when 6-minute-walk testing is unavailable

    Replacement of the 6-Min Walk Test With Glittre ADL Test and Scores From the PFSDQ-M and HAP Questionnaires in the BODE Index

    Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease reduces functional capacity, which is strongly correlated with the morbidity and mortality of patients. The BODE index considers the multifactorial nature of the disease, including the functional capacity measured by the 6-min walk test (6MWT), and this index predicts the mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Our aim was to assess whether association exists between the original BODE index and the modified BODE index by replacing the 6MWT with the scores from the Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire—Modified version (PFSDQ-M), Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire, and the results of the Glittre ADL Test (TGlittre). Methods: Twenty-eight subjects diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease underwent the 6MWT and TGlittre and responded to the PFSDQ-M and HAP questionnaires. Four BODE index scores were obtained: 1 calculated by using the original method (ie, using the 6MWT) and 3 others calculated by using the results obtained from the TGlittre, PFSDQ-M, and HAP (the modified BODE index scores). Results: High levels of association were observed between the original BODE index and the BODE TGlittre (R2 = 0.824, P ≤ .0001), BODE PFSDQ-M (R2 = 0.803, P ≤ .0001), and BODE HAP (R2 = 0.500, P ≤ .0001). Conclusion: The BODE TGlittre, and BODE PFSDQ-M may be used as alternatives to the 6MWT when physical space is not available to perform the 6MWT or when the condition of a patient does not allow performance of the 6MWT

    The Effect of Left-Right Reversal on Film: Watching Kurosawa Reversed

    No full text
    The mirror reversal of an image is subtly different from the original. Often such change goes unnoticed in pictures, although it can affect preference. For the first time we studied the effect of mirror reversal of feature films. People watched Yojimbo or Sanjuro in a cinema, both classic films by Akira Kurosawa. They knew that this was a study and filled out a questionnaire. On one day Yojimbo was shown in its original orientation, and on another day the film was mirror reversed. Sanjuro was shown reversed on one day and non-reversed on another day. Viewers did not notice the reversal, even when they had seen the film before and considered themselves fans of Kurosawa. We compared this with estimates from a survey. In addition, the question about the use of space (scenography) revealed that although people who had seen the film before gave higher ratings compared with those who had not, this was only true when the film was not reversed
