Factors influencing adherence to home based pulmonary rehabilitation programme by high risk patients awaiting lung surgery: mixed methods study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePreoperative home based pulmonary rehabilitation (HPR) can reduce postoperative complications in lung surgery patients. This study aimed to investigate the level of adherence to a preoperative HPR programme in high risk patients awaiting lung surgery, and factors influencing adherence.
designA mixed methods explanatory sequential design consisting of a quantitative questionnaire survey and a qualitative interview study.
settingThe study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Chongqing, China.
participants186 high risk patients awaiting lung surgery were enrolled in the preoperative HPR programme. All 186 patients participated in the quantitative questionnaire survey. 13 of the 186 patients were selected to participate in the qualitative interview study.
resultsQuantitative questionnaire results revealed an adherence rate of 52.3%. Marital status, residence location, exercise habit, smoking index and pulmonary function were identified as independent influencers of adherence (p<0.05). Qualitative interviews identified poor health, lack of family and social support, adverse weather condition, arduous preoperative examination and unfit exercise intensity as barriers to adherence, and perceived health benefits, family support, and flexibility and convenience in exercise time and space as factors encouraging adherence.
conclusionsHigh risk patients awaiting lung surgery adhered to preoperative HPR at a moderate level. A tiered approach can be used to develop personalised HPR protocols based on patients' individual needs and situations to improve adherence and maximise the benefits of HPR.
