Extract
We read with great interest the article on the effect of singing as a part of pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by Kaasgaardet al。[1]。先前Cochrane综述的研究question did not provide a clear conclusion [2]. They showed that singing for lung health training is noninferior to standard physical exercise training. Although the authors anticipated higher adherence to singing therapy, no difference was observed in adherence between the two intervention methods, and 25.5% of the patients dropped out of the singing for lung health training. We believe that adherence to singing therapy could be improved using some ideas, and we discuss some strategies to increase adherence.
