Resum:	Early pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), started during hospitalization or within the first month after discharge, has been shown to reduce exacerbations and improve health-related-quality of life (HRQoL) and exercise capacity. However, no randomized clinical trials (RCT) have compared the efficacy of PR started during hospitalization (DHPR) to PR initiated one month post-hospitalization (PHPR). We conducted an RCT to compare DHPR to PHPR in severe patients with COPD readmitted for exacerbations in a tertiary hospital setting. Patients were randomized to receive three months of DHPR or PHPR. Outcomes were assessed at completion of the PR programme and at months 3 and 9. A total of 53 patients (26 DHPR and 27 PHPR) were included. There were no between-group differences in the number of exacerbations (mean, 3. 62 vs. 3. 04 in the DHPR and PHPR groups, respectively; p = 0. 403). Dyspnea in activities of daily living, exercise capacity, and all HRQoL parameters improved in the PHPR group. In the DHPR group, improvement was observed only for some HRQoL parameters. All gains in both groups were lost during follow-up. More adverse events were observed in the DHPR group (20 vs 5, p = 0. 023), although none of these were clinically significant. In this sample of patients with severe COPD readmitted to the hospital for exacerbations, both approaches to PR were safe, but PHPR yielded better outcomes overall. These findings suggest that, PR should be initiated in patients with severe COPD only after hospital discharge when the patients' clinical condition has stabilized.
