work&#44; exercise-induced oxygen saturation&#41; have an additional predictive value of mortality in patients with COPD&#44;<a href="&#35;bib13" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> however this performance could be influenced by other coexisting diseases &#40;i&#46;e&#46; musculoskeletal disorders&#41; and factors that have not been taken into account by the authors&#46; In addition&#44; no information was given about the severity of each of these 3 comorbidities&#44; nor about ongoing therapies for managing them&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We recognize that hypertension&#44; coronary heart disease and diabetes are frequent forms of multimorbidity influencing the individual&#39;s function as single diseases or clustering together&#46;<a href="&#35;bib3" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">&#44; </span><a href="&#35;bib8" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">&#44; </span><a href="&#35;bib14" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> Indeed&#44; authors have confirmed that these chronic diseases have a negative impact on the exercise capacity&#44; here recorded as both the reduction in meters walked and the increased scores of the items assessing function in the COPD Assessment Test &#40;CAT&#41;&#46; Therefore&#44; accurate assessment and count of comorbidities in the characterization of patients with COPD contribute to predicting their outcomes and risk of mortality&#46;<a href="&#35;bib12" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Another problem with the present data might be that the presence of hypertension&#44; coronary heart disease and diabetes was self-reported and&#47;or derived by the assumed medications&#44; there was no objective assessment&#46; Recently&#44; it has been shown that self-reporting may result in underestimation of chronic diseases and multimorbidity&#46;<a href="&#35;bib15" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Walking performance&#44; however&#44; does not exclusively represent the functional capacity of patients with COPD&#46; We can only speculate on whether there is direct correlation between 6MWT and the individual&#39;s physical activity &#40;PA&#41;&#44; since a good degree of exercise tolerance is pivotal to performing complex kinds of activities in daily living&#46; In COPD subjects&#44; lower levels of PA are associated with higher degree of severity<a href="&#35;bib16" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> and a worse prognosis&#46;<a href="&#35;bib17" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> A decline to low PA over time is associated with an increased mortality risk in those with COPD but also those without&#46;<a href="&#35;bib18" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> This suggests that it is important to assess and encourage PA in the earliest stages of COPD in order to maintain it at the highest possible level&#44; as this is associated with better prognosis&#46; However&#44; PA cannot be derived by the submaximal exercise test in the COPD population&#44; nor did authors measure PA in their study sample&#46; A deeper discussion on the existing links between exercise performance and PA should be taken in consideration in order to understand the extent to which other chronic co-existing diseases might limit function in patients with COPD&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The cumulative effect of multimorbidity in limiting physical performance should be carefully considered when a COPD patient is assessed and managed&#44; paying particular attention to rehabilitation&#46; To date&#44; pulmonary rehabilitation&#44; including exercise training&#44; has proved to be one of the most effective therapies for COPD patients&#46;<a href="&#35;bib19" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">&#44; </span><a href="&#35;bib20" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> Furthermore&#44; recent studies have shown that even changes in the level of activity following rehabilitation have direct proportional effects on major outcomes in these patients&#46;<a href="&#35;bib18" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> At present&#44; some retrospective studies have shown worse outcomes &#40;in terms of exercise tolerance&#44; and perceived well-being&#41; in COPD patients with associated heart and metabolic diseases undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation&#44; while others reported the opposite effect&#46;<a href="&#35;bib21" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> The reason behind this difference might be the higher degree of impairment in these patients who are generally more dyspnoeic<a href="&#35;bib3" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> and less physically active&#46;<a href="&#35;bib22" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> However&#44; evidence from available literature is incomplete and there is a need for adjunctive data to understand the effective role of coexisting diseases on rehabilitation outcomes in the population of COPD&#46; For a given different pattern of response to exercise in the complex patients&#44; a tailored intervention could be thus supposed as most important&#46; Although the link between co-existing diseases and reduced performance during pulmonary rehabilitation has been clearly shown&#44; the present study by Da Silva<a href="&#35;bib11" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> did not consider this aspect&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In conclusion&#44; taking all the limitations of the present study into account&#44; results corroborate actual debate around the impact of COPD-associated multimorbidity on physical performance and the consequences when a physical therapy is applied to patients&#46; The topic seems to be of critical importance in order to ensure the most effective and personalized treatment for COPD patients referred for a rehabilitation course&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Corresponding author&#46;

the mutual interaction between COPD and cardiac dysfunction is based not only on similar risk factors and pathobiological features such as systemic inflammation&#44; but also on pathophysiological mechanisms such as lung hyperdistension&#44;<a href="&#35;bib4" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> which may impair both ventilatory and cardiac function during effort&#44;

however&#44; does not exclusively represent the functional capacity of patients with COPD&#46; We can only speculate on whether there is direct correlation between 6MWT and the individual&#39;s physical activity &#40;PA&#41;&#44; since a good degree of exercise tolerance is pivotal to performing complex kinds of activities in daily living&#46; In COPD subjects&#44; lower levels of PA are associated with higher degree of severity<a href="&#35;bib16" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> and a worse prognosis&#46;<a href="&#35;bib17" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> A decline to low PA over time is associated with an increased mortality risk in those with COPD but also those without&#46;<a href="&#35;bib18" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> This suggests that it is important to assess and encourage PA in the earliest stages of COPD in order to maintain it at the highest possible level&#44; as this is associated with better prognosis&#46; However&#44; PA cannot be derived by the submaximal exercise test in the COPD population&#44; nor did authors measure PA in their study sample&#46; A deeper discussion on the existing links between exercise performance and PA should be taken in consideration in order to understand the extent to which other chronic co-existing diseases might limit function in patients with COPD&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The cumulative effect of multimorbidity in limiting physical performance should be carefully considered when a COPD patient is assessed and managed&#44; paying particular attention to rehabilitation&#46; To date&#44; pulmonary rehabilitation&#44; including exercise training&#44; has proved to be one of the most effective therapies for COPD patients&#46;<a href="&#35;bib19" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">&#44; </span><a href="&#35;bib20" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> Furthermore&#44; recent studies have shown that even changes in the level of activity following rehabilitation have direct proportional effects on major outcomes in these patients&#46;<a href="&#35;bib18" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> At present&#44; some retrospective studies have shown worse outcomes &#40;in terms of exercise tolerance&#44; and perceived well-being&#41; in COPD patients with associated heart and metabolic diseases undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation&#44; while others reported the opposite effect&#46;<a href="&#35;bib21" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> The reason behind this difference might be the higher degree of impairment in these patients who are generally more dyspnoeic<a href="&#35;bib3" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> and less physically active&#46;<a href="&#35;bib22" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> However&#44; evidence from available literature is incomplete and there is a need for adjunctive data to understand the effective role of coexisting diseases on rehabilitation outcomes in the population of COPD&#46; For a given different pattern of response to exercise in the complex patients&#44; a tailored intervention could be thus supposed as most important&#46; Although the link between co-existing diseases and reduced performance during pulmonary rehabilitation has been clearly shown&#44; the present study by Da Silva<a href="&#35;bib11" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> did not consider this aspect&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In conclusion&#44; taking all the limitations of the present study into account&#44; results corroborate actual debate around the impact of COPD-associated multimorbidity on physical performance and the consequences when a physical therapy is applied to patients&#46; The topic seems to be of critical importance in order to ensure the most effective and personalized treatment for COPD patients referred for a rehabilitation course&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Corresponding author&#46;
