Modified Version for COPD BODE Index: A Mini Review

Marcelo Velloso and E Isabella Diniz Faria

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality around the world. The functional impairment status is directly related to the number of exacerbations and risk of death. Therefore, BODE index assessment is essential in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs. The aim of this mini review was to describe the modified BODE indices which have been developed so far. The following modified BODE indices were found in the literature: the BODE-VO₂, the iBODE, the BODE-TGlittre, the BODE-PSFDQ-M and the BODE-HAP and all showed significant associations with the original BODE index.
