Meta-Analysis of Concurrent Training Effects on COPD Patients

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials involving 1,037 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It assesses the effect of concurrent training on exercise capacity and quality of life, identifying an optimal dose of 1,220 MET-min/week for improving 6-minute walk distance. The supplementary file was authored by Shengnian Li and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate exercise intervention efficacy based on Bayesian pairwise meta-analysis results
• Model dose-response relationships for exercise capacity based on MET-min/week metrics
• Compare outcomes for pulmonary function versus exercise capacity based on reported FEV1 and 6MWD results

Strengths

• Analysis includes 1,037 patients from 20 studies, providing a substantial sample size
• Results include specific mean differences and credible intervals for key outcomes like 6MWD and SGRQ
• Identifies a precise optimal dose of 1,220 MET-min/week for improving 6MWD

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the included randomized controlled trials
