Social determinants of adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is low. Previous studies have focused on clinical predictors of PR completion. This study aimed to identify social determinants of adherence to PR. The findings showed that, relative to high adherence, low adherence is associated with limited functional capacity and current smoking, while moderate adherence is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage. The distinction highlights different pathways to suboptimal adherence and calls for tailored intervention approaches.
