Abstract
Physical activity estimated by energy expenditure (EE) may reduce mortality in chronic lung disease (CLD) by optimizing functional capacity, a major prognosticator of mortality in lung transplantation. We aimed to compare the accuracy of different EE monitors (flex heart rate (FHR); triaxial accelerometry by Actical (AC); and multisensor by SenseWear (SW)) against criterion indirect calorimetry (IC) by Cosmed K4b2 in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD), and cystic fibrosis (CF).
