Data regarding metabolic profile evaluation in patients undergoing rehabilitation is scarce however important for treatment planning and risk estimation. Therefore our aim was to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MtbS) in patients referred to rehabilitation.METHODS: History of diabetes (DM), MtbS, clinical investigation, lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and blood urea levels were assessed in patients starting rehabilitation program between 2012 and 2014. MtbS and DM were diagnosed using International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria.RESULTS: We included 73 patients (66{\textpm}9 years, 66\% men, 84\% GOLD III/IV) in analysis. History of DM was known in 11\% while additional 14\% met IDF diagnostic criteria. MetS was present in 59\% of patients.Figure 1. Prevalence of additional IDF MtbS diagnosis criteria factors. ( N = 43, AH {\textendash} Arterial hypertension, DM/GLU {\textendash} Diabetes mellitus or blood glucose level, TG {\textendash} triglycerides)BMI >=30 kg/m2, total cholesterol >=5.2mmol/l, LDL cholesterol >=2.6 mmol/l, HDL <= 1 mmol/l and triglyceride >=1.7 mmol/l was found in 19\%, 55\%, 66\%, 7\% and 19\%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS: MetS, DM and hypercholesterolemia are common manifestations in patients with COPD undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation program. Metabolic profile screening doubled the prevalence of DM.}, issn = {0903-1936}, URL = {https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/44/Suppl_58/P4749}, eprint = {https://erj.ersjournals.com/content}, journal = {European Respiratory Journal} }
