Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate whether resting breathing instability during wakefulness was associated with dyspnea whether breathing instability was a novel predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Resting breathing was monitored for 15 min using respiratory inductance plethysmography. Breathing instability was evaluated by coefficient of variation (CV; SD/mean*100) for breath-by-breath respiratory duration (Ttot) and tidal volume (VT) using extracted 5 min of stable respiratory signal. Breathing instability was associated with dyspnea and deteriorated QOL in patients with COPD in this study. Moreover, breathing instability could be a predictive marker for future exacerbation in patients with COPD.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究より、COPD患者において、不規則呼吸が呼吸困難やQOLと関連し、さらには増悪の予測因子になりえることがわかった。呼吸波形の計測は非侵襲的な検査であり、今後、日常診療に組み込まれる可能性があると考えている。さらには、不規則呼吸を改善すること(呼吸の安定化)で自覚症状が改善することが証明できれば、呼吸の安定化がCOPD治療の新たな治療戦略になり得る可能性を秘めている。
