IntroductionCOPD is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. The emphysema phenotype of COPD is characterised by air trapping and hyperinflation, driven by the loss of elastic recoil and the subsequent increase in airflow resistance, resulting from the destruction of lung parenchyma [2].

IntroductionBronchoscopic lung volume reduction using endobronchial valves (EBV) has been shown to provide clinical benefits for patients with emphysema including improvements in lung function, exercise capacity, dyspnoea severity and quality of life [1]. Recently, there has been increased attention on the potential extrapulmonary effects of this treatment.

AbstractBronchoscopic lung volume reduction using one-way endobronchial valves (BLVR-EBV) improves exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with severe emphysema. However, its effect on symptoms of fatigue, anxiety and depression is unclear. Furthermore, if the combination of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and BLVR-EBV yields additional impact on these symptoms remains unknown.

IntroductionCOPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is responsible for ∼6% of the total number of global deaths according to the World Health Organization [1]. COPD is a complex and heterogeneous disease, not only characterised by chronic airflow limitation, but also by the frequent occurrence of comorbidities. For example, Vanfleteren et al.
