Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical study is focused on helping people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a serious lung condition that makes it hard to breathe and affects day-to-day life. The study aims to test a special rehabilitation program that combines treatment at the hospital with exercises and activities that can be done at home. This program lasts for three months and includes education on managing COPD, dietary advice, exercise training for the arms and legs, and help to stop smoking. By doing this, the study hopes to improve how well patients can exercise, reduce their breathing difficulties, and overall enhance their quality of life. Participants in the study will engage in various activities both at the hospital and at home. In the hospital, they will receive training and support from healthcare professionals. At home, they will continue with daily walking and strength exercises, and make changes to their lifestyle as advised. The study measures progress by looking at how far participants can walk in six minutes, checking their breathing difficulties, and using questionnaires to assess their respiratory health and overall quality of life. Tests like spirometry and blood gas analysis are also conducted before and after the program to see how much improvement there is. These assessments help determine if the combination of hospital and home-based care is beneficial for people with COPD.
