The application value of COPD assessment test(CAT)and monitoring oxygen saturation in management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Objective:To investigate the application value of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)assessment test(CAT)and monitoring pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2)in management of patients with COPD. Methods:The correlations of CAT,SpO2 during walking,CAT and SpO2(CATS)with pulmonary function were analyzed respectively. The difference of SpO2 was also analyzed between the two groups which were defined as CAT<10 and CAT≥10. Results:CAT total score,respiratory CAT score,non-respiratory CAT score,SpO2B,SpO2L,ΔSpO2,CATS were all associated with FEV1(forced expiratory volume in 1 second)% predicted. CATS was also associated with non-respiratory CAT score. In CAT<10 group,non-respiratory CAT score and SpO2B were associated with FEV1%pred. In CAT ≥10 group,CAT total score,non-respiratory CAT score,SpO2L and ΔSpO2 were associated with FEV1%pred. The SpO2B and SpO2L in CAT≥10 group were higher,and ΔSpO2 was lower than those in CAT<10 group. Conclusion:Monitoring oxygen saturation may be helpful in diagnosis of acute exacerbation of COPD patients. Non-respiratory CAT score contributes more to CAT total score than respiratory CAT score. CATS,the combination of oxygen saturation and CAT,will improve the management of COPD and precision medicine treatment.
