Dyspnea
and leg effort are measured at maximal exercise in 97 patients
with moderate to severe COPD and compared to 320 matched control
subjects.
Question
30.1
Assuming that the patients'
maximal exercise was determined by the development of intolerable
symptoms and that breathing discomfort and the effort of moving
one's legs were the most common complaints, in what percentage
of the patients' with COPD did ratings of leg effort exceed dyspnea
at the end of exercise?
