Read our COPD research guide →Researchers want to understand whether a simple, practical test — where you step up and down for 6 minutes — can help predict who may be at higher risk of serious illness or death over the next 2 to 5 years. This study will look at medical records from patients with COPD (a chronic lung disease) who completed this stepping test as part of their regular rehabilitation program.
Doctors need better, simpler ways to identify which COPD patients are at highest risk so they can provide more intensive care and support to those who need it most. This stepping test is easy to do and doesn't require expensive equipment, so it could be a practical tool for clinics and hospitals worldwide.

This is a study that uses medical records you've already created — researchers will review your health information and test results from your time in a lung rehabilitation program between 2015 and 2023, including your stepping test performance. No new visits or special procedures are needed; the study team will also check public health records in early 2025 to see how you've been doing over the long term.
