Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Investigators assume that major pCO2 oscillations during exercise (ΔpCO2 \>4 millimeters of mercury \[mmHg\] from baseline) as a reflection of the abnormality in ventilatory efficiency/drive, lead to overall and local disturbances of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and thus can be associated to increased prevalence of cognitive dysfunction in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Moreover, investigators hypothesize that patients with major pCO2 oscillations during exercise may develop worse cognitive impairment in several cognitive domains and greater cognitive decline compared to "isocapnic" patients at 6, 12, and 18-month follow-up. Inpatient PR may benefit cognitive function by improving breathing (diminishing pCO2 oscillations), therefore improving CBF, and by increasing cerebral neural activation through exercise.
With regard to cognitive dysfunction, which is associated to increased all-cause mortality and disability, investigators wish:
(A) to detect a relationship between major pCO2 oscillations during exercise and increased prevalence of cognitive dysfunction in COPD; (B) to investigate the impact of different pCO2 transitory-patterns (1. pCO2: decline/ hypocapnic, 2. steady/ isocapnic, 3. increase/ hypercapnic) on CBF regulation and cognitive function; (C) to examine whether major pCO2 oscillations can be a determinant of greater cognitive deterioration in several cognitive domains at 6, 12, and18-month follow-up and (D) to explore the acute effect of 3-week PR on pCO2 oscillations and CBF in respect to cognitive function in COPD patients with cognitive impairment.
The evaluation of cognitive function will be performed by the use of Standardized Mini Mental State Examination (SMMSE), Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-R), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) assessing several cognitive domains (cognitive scores) whereas Stroop test will be used for measuring cognitive performance (Reaction-Time).

Study Groups

Effect of PR in MCI-group
Evaluation of the acute effect of a 3-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) program in cognitive function of MCI-Group using SMMSE, ACE-R, MoCA, TICS and Stroop test clinical instruments in reference to potential changes in pCO2 oscillation patterns (post-PR). Intervention: Pulmonary Rehabilitation program; 12 sessions of exercise training/breathing techniques.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation program
Patients will attend a comprehensive 3-week PR program (12sessions/ 60min·day) including high intensive interval exercise equivalent to 100% of peak work rate (WRpeak) with 30sec work periods interspersed with 30sec rest periods for 30min and light resistance training (3muscle groups/ 4sets each/10repetitions; \~30min).
Effect of PR in control-group
Evaluation of the acute effect of a 3-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) program in cognitive function of control-group using SMMSE, ACE-R, MoCA, TICS and Stroop test clinical instruments in reference to potential changes in pCO2 oscillation patterns (post-PR).
Intervention: Pulmonary Rehabilitation program; 12 sessions of exercise training/breathing techniques.
