🔍 Exploring Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) 🌬️ 🔬 Background: ILDs lead to lung parenchyma fibrosis, impacting quality of life and causing dyspnea. Anxiety and depression are prevalent among ILD patients. Recent findings highlight how Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) aids COPD patients. ❓ Research Question: What's PR's impact on anxiety and depression in ILD patients? 📊 Study Design: We conducted a PRISMA-2020-compliant systematic review of RCTs exploring PR's effects on anxiety and depression in ILD patients. Databases searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and PsycINFO until April 3, 2023. 🔍 Results: Five RCTs (n = 281) were analyzed, with IPF being the most common ILD (k = 3). Significant anxiety improvements in IPF and depression improvements in sarcoidosis were observed. Dropout rates were similar across groups, yet all studies bore a high risk of bias. 💡 Interpretation: PR doesn't worsen anxiety or depression in ILD patients. It may even alleviate anxiety in IPF and depression in sarcoidosis. Yet, conclusive evidence is lacking due to diverse populations and small sample sizes. More RCTs focusing on anxiety and depression are necessary. 🔑 Keywords: Anxiety, Depression, Interstitial lung disease, Pulmonary rehabilitation, Randomized controlled trial.
