Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Physical activity worsens during exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and notably after hospitalizations. Pedometer-based interventions are useful to increase physical activity in stable patients with COPD. However, there is little information concerning the implementation of such programs following severe exacerbation. This study assessed the efficacy of a physical activity program after hospitalization for a COPD exacerbation. METHODS We performed a prospective, 12-week, parallel group, assessor-blinded, randomized control trial in COPD patients hospitalized for an exacerbation. After discharge, physical activity and other secondary variables were assessed. Patients were allocated (1:1) to a physical activity promotion program (intervention group, IG) or usual care (control group, CG). Based on a motivational interview and accelerometer physical activity assessment, a patient-tailored, pedometer-based, progressive and target-driven program was designed. Linear mixed effect models were used to analyse between-group differences. RESULTS Forty-six out of 61 patients recruited were randomized and 43 (IG = 20, CG = 23) completed the study. In-hospital and baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. After 12 weeks of intervention, the mean steps difference between groups was 2093 steps/day, p = 0.018, 95% CI 376-4012, favouring the IG. Only the IG significantly increased the number of steps/day compared to baseline (mean difference [95% CI] 2932 [1069-4795] steps; p = 0.004). There were no other between-group differences. CONCLUSION After hospitalization for a COPD exacerbation, a patient-tailored physical activity program based on a motivational interview and the use of pedometers, with progressive and customized targets, improved the number of steps/day.

Abstract
Despite recent notable innovations in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), no major advances in patient-centered medicine have been achieved. Current guidelines base their proposals on the average results from clinical trials, leading to what could be termed ‘means-based’ medical practice. However, the therapeutic response is variable at the patient level. Additionally, the variability of the clinical presentation interacts with comorbidities to form a complex clinical scenario for clinicians to deal with. Consequently, no consensus has been reached over a practical approach for combining comorbidities and disease presentation markers in the therapeutic algorithm. In this context, from the patients’ first visit, the clinician faces four major dilemmas: (1) establishing the correct diagnosis of COPD as opposed to other airway diseases, such as bronchial asthma; (2) deciding on the initial therapeutic approach based on the clinical characteristics of each case; (3) setting up a study strategy for non-responding patients; (4) pursuing a follow-up strategy with two well-defined periods according to whether close or long-term follow-up is required. Here, we will address these major dilemmas in the search for a patient-centered approach to COPD management and suggest how to combine them all in a single easy-to-use strategy.

Abstract
With the 60th anniversary of the CIBA symposium, it is worth evaluating research questions that should be prioritized in the future. Coming research initiatives can be summarized in 10 main areas. (1) From epidemiology the impact of new forms of electronic cigarettes on prevalence and mortality of COPD will be sought. (2) The study of the disease endotypes and its relationship phenotypes will have to be unraveled in the next decade. (3) Diagnosis of COPD faces several challenges opening the possibility of a change in the definition of the disease itself. (4) Patients' classification and risk stratification will need to be clarified and reassessed. (5) The asthma-COPD overlap dilemma will have to be clarified and define whether both conditions represent one only chronic airway disease again. (6) Integrating comorbidities in COPD care will be key in a progressively ageing population to improve clinical care in a chronic care model. (7) Nonpharmacological management have areas for research including pulmonary rehabilitation and vaccines. (8) Improving physical activity should focus research because of the clear prognostic impact. (9). Pharmacological therapies present several challenges including efficacy and safety issues with current medications and the development of biological therapy. (10) The definition, identification, categorization and specific therapy of exacerbations will also be an area of research development. During the next decade, we have a window of opportunity to address these research questions that will put us on the path for precision medicine.
