Comprehensive Dataset on Pre-SARS-CoV-2 Infection Sports-Related Physical Activity Levels, Disease Severity, and Treatment Outcomes: Insights and Implications for COVID-19 Management Dimitrios I. Bourdas, Panteleimon Bakirtzoglou, Antonios K. Travlos, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Emmanouil Zacharakis Data, 2024 This dataset aimed to explore associations between pre-SARS-CoV-2 infection exercise and sports-related physical activity (PA) levels and disease severity, along with treatments administered following the most recent SARS-CoV-2 infection. A comprehensive analysis investigated the relationships between PA categories (“Inactive”, “Low PA”, “Moderate PA”, “High PA”), disease severity (“Sporadic”, “Episodic”, “Recurrent”, “Frequent”, “Persistent”), and treatments post-SARS-CoV-2 infection (“No treatment”, “Home remedies”, “Prescribed medication”, “Hospital admission”, “Intensive care unit admission”) within a sample population (n = 5829) from the Hellenic territory. Utilizing the Active-Q questionnaire, data were collected from February to March 2023, capturing PA habits, participant characteristics, medical history, vaccination status, and illness experiences. Findings revealed an independent relationship between preinfection PA levels and disease severity (χ2 = 9.097, df = 12, p = 0.695). Additionally, a statistical dependency emerged between PA levels and illness treatment categories (χ2 = 39.362, df = 12, p < 0.001), particularly linking inactive PA with home remedies treatment. These results highlight the potential influence of preinfection PA on disease severity and treatment choices following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The dataset offers valuable insights into the interplay between PA, disease outcomes, and treatment decisions, aiding future research in shaping targeted interventions and public health strategies related to COVID-19 management.
Analysis of a comprehensive dataset: Influence of vaccination profile, types, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 re-infections on changes in sports-related physical activity one month after infection Dimitrios I. Bourdas, Panteleimon Bakirtzoglou, Antonios K. Travlos, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Emmanouil Zacharakis Data in Brief, 2023 This dataset was created with the primary objective of elucidating the intricate relationship between the incidence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) re-infections and the pre-illness vaccination profile and types concerning alterations in sports-related physical activity (PA) after SARS-CoV-2 infection among adults. A secondary objective encompassed a comprehensive statistical analysis to explore the influence of three key factors—namely, Vaccination profile, Vaccination types, and Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 re-infections—on changes in PA related to exercise and sports, recorded at two distinct time points: one to two weeks prior to infection and one month after the last SARS-CoV-2 infection. The sample population (n = 5829), drawn from Hellenic territory, adhered to self-inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection spanned from February to March 2023 (a two-month period), involving the utilization of the Active-Q (an online, interactive questionnaire) to automatically assess weekly habitual sports-related PA among adults both before and after their last SARS-CoV-2 infection. The questionnaire also captured participant characteristics, pre-illness vaccination statuses (i.e., unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, fully vaccinated, and vaccine types), and occurrences of SARS-CoV-2 re-infections. The dataset sheds light on two noteworthy phenomena: (i) the intricate interplay between post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and a decline in sports-related physical activity (-27.6 ± 0.6%, 95%CI: -26.1 – -29.1), influenced by the pre-illness vaccination profile factor (p = 0.040); and (ii) the divergence in sports-related physical activity decline between partially vaccinated (-38.2 ± 0.7%, 95%CI: -35.3 – -41.1, p = 0.031) and fully vaccinated respondents (-19.2 ± 0.5%, 95%CI: -17.2 – -21.2). These phenomena underscore the imperative for tailored interventions and further investigation to promote the resumption of physical activity and mitigate long-term repercussions. Furthermore, this dataset enriches our understanding of the dynamics of sports-related physical activity and provides valuable insights for public health initiatives aiming to address the consequences of COVID-19 on sports-related physical activity levels. Consequently, this cross-sectional dataset is amenable to a diverse array of analytical methodologies, including univariate and multivariate analyses, and holds potential relevance for researchers, leaders in the sports and medical sectors, and policymakers, all of whom share a vested interest in fostering initiatives directed at reinstating physical activity and mitigating the enduring ramifications of post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Exploring the Impact of COVID-19 on Physical Activity One Month after Infection and Its Potential Determinants: Re-Infections, Pre-Illness Vaccination Profiles/Types, and Beyond Dimitrios I. Bourdas, Panteleimon Bakirtzoglou, Antonios K. Travlos, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Emmanouil Zacharakis Vaccines, 2023 This study investigated changes in physical activity (PA) after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection while considering age, PA level, underlying medical conditions (UMCs), vaccination profiles/types, re-infections, disease severity, and treatment. Data were collected from 5829 respondents by using a validated web-based questionnaire. The findings showed that there was a significant overall decrease in PA (−16.2%), including in daily occupation (−11.9%), transportation (−13.5%), leisure-time (−16.4%), and sporting (−27.6%) activities. Age, PA level, UMCs, vaccination profiles/types, disease severity, and treatment played a role in determining PA in individuals’ post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infections. Re-infections did not impact the decline in PA. Unvaccinated individuals experienced a significant decline in PA (−13.7%). Younger (−22.4%) and older adults (−22.5%), those with higher PA levels (−20.6%), those with 2–5 UMCs (−23.1%), those who were vaccinated (−16.9%) or partially vaccinated (−19.1%), those with mRNA-type vaccines only (−17.1%), those with recurrent (−19.4%)-to-persistent (−54.2%) symptoms, and those that required hospital (−51.8%) or intensive care unit (−67.0%) admission during their infections had more pronounced declines in PA. These findings emphasize the complex relationship between post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and PA and highlight the need for targeted interventions, further research, and multidisciplinary care to promote PA resumption and mitigate long-term effects on global public health.
The use of time-of-flight camera to assess respiratory rates and thoracoabdominal depths in patients with chronic respiratory disease Olivier Van Hove, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Ali Dabach, Olivier Debeir, Alain Van Muylem, Dimitri Leduc, Alexandre Legrand, Rudy Ercek, Véronique Feipel, Bruno Bonnechère Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2023 INTRODUCTION Over the last 5 years, the analysis of respiratory patterns presents a growing usage in clinical and research purposes, but there is still currently a lack of easy-to-use and affordable devices to perform such kind of evaluation. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to validate a new specifically developed method, based on Kinect sensor, to assess respiratory patterns against spirometry under various conditions. METHODS One hundred and one participants took parts in one of the three validations studies. Twenty-five chronic respiratory disease patients (14 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [65 ± 10 years old, FEV1 = 37 (15% predicted value), VC = 62 (20% predicted value)], and 11 with lung fibrosis (LF) [64 ± 14 years old, FEV1 = 55 (19% predicted value), VC = 62 (20% predicted value)]) and 76 healthy controls (HC) were recruited. The correlations between the signal of the Kinect (depth and respiratory rate) and the spirometer (tidal volume and respiratory rate) were computed in part 1. We then included 66 HC to test the ability of the system to detect modifications of respiratory patterns induced by various conditions known to modify respiratory pattern (cognitive load, inspiratory load and combination) in parts 2 and 3. RESULTS There is a strong correlation between the depth recorded by the Kinect and the tidal volume recorded by the spirometer: r = 0.973 for COPD patients, r = 0.989 for LF patients and r = 0.984 for HC. The Kinect is able to detect changes in breathing patterns induced by different respiratory disturbance conditions, gender and oral task. CONCLUSIONS Measurements performed with the Kinect sensors are highly correlated with the spirometer in HC and patients with COPD and LF. Kinect is also able to assess respiratory patterns under various loads and disturbances. This method is affordable, easy to use, fully automated and could be used in the current clinical context. Respiratory patterns are important to assess in daily clinics. However, there is currently no affordable and easy-to-use tool to evaluate these parameters in clinics. We validated a new system to assess respiratory patterns using the Kinect sensor in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
The influence of cognitive load on static balance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients Olivier Van Hove, Ana Maria Cebolla, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Dimitri Leduc, Pierre Antoine Guidat, Véronique Feipel, Gaël Deboeck, Bruno Bonnechère Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2021 Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may demonstrate cognitive function and balance deterioration. These two phenomena are often realized simultaneously during daily living activities, where the risk of falling may be increased due to possible postural disturbance when focusing on a cognitive task during motion. Despite the high rate of falls in COPD, there is currently a lack of affordable clinical instruments to quantify the interaction between cognitive tasks and static balance in these patients. Therefore, this study aims to assess the balance perturbation induced by cognitive tasks using a new cost‐effective protocol which can easily be implemented in clinical settings.

Improvements in functional and cognitive status following short-term pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD lung transplant recipients: A pilot study Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Rainer Gloeckl, Martina Boensch, Katharina Hoster, Tessa Schneeberger, Inga Jarosch, Rembert A. Koczulla, Klaus Kenn Erj Open Research, 2019 BackgroundPulmonary rehabilitation (PR) following lung transplantation (LTx) is considered part of the optimal treatment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for favourable post-operative outcomes. We investigated the effects of a PR intervention in the post-transplant phase with regard to lung function, exercise responses and cognitive function in COPD LTx recipients.Methods24 COPD LTx recipients (mean±sdforced expiratory volume in 1 s 75±22% predicted) were assigned to a comprehensive 3-week inpatient PR programme. Changes from PR admission to discharge in lung function variables, 6-min walk test-derived outcomes and cognitive function were assessed and examined for several factors. The magnitude of changes was interpreted by effect size (ES).ResultsIn response to the PR intervention, LTx recipients had improved lung function with regard to diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (+4.3%; p=0.012) and static hyperinflation (residual volume/total lung capacity −2.3%; p=0.017), increased exercise capacity (6-min walk test +86 m; p<0.001), and had small to large improvements (ES range 0.23–1.00; all p≤0.34) in 50% of the administered cognitive tests. Learning skills and memory ability presented the greatest benefits (ES composite scores 0.62 and 0.31, respectively), which remained similar after stratification by single or bilateral LTx and sex.ConclusionsPR is an effective treatment for LTx recipients in the post-transplant phase, improving lung function, exercise responses, and domains of cognitive function of learning, memory and psychomotor speed. PR may facilitate the course of post-operative treatment and should be recommended in LTx.
Cardiac output measurement during exercise in COPD: A comparison of dye dilution and impedance cardiography Zafeiris Louvaris, Stavroula Spetsioti, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Nikolaos Chynkiamis, Helmut Habazettl, Harrieth Wagner, Spyros Zakynthinos, Peter D. Wagner, Ioannis Vogiatzis Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2019 Impedance cardiography (IC) derived from morphological analysis of the thoracic impedance signal is now commonly used for noninvasive assessment of cardiac output (CO) at rest and during exercise. However, in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), conflicting findings put its accuracy into question.
