Summary
Chronic lung diseases (CLDs) such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia significantly impact pediatric patients' respiratory function and overall well-being. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has been shown to improve lung function, exercise tolerance, and quality of life in affected individuals. However, limited research has been conducted on PR implementation in Egypt.
Detailed description
Pulmonary rehabilitation significantly enhances respiratory function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in pediatric patients with CLDs while reducing healthcare utilization. These findings highlight the necessity of integrating structured PR programs into pediatric respiratory care in Egypt.
