Methods From January, 2012 to January, 2015, 85 old stable inpatients with pneumoconiosis were divided into control group (n=40) and rehabilitation group (n=45). Both groups accepted routine medicine, while the rehabilitation group received multidisciplinary com-prehensive pulmonary rehabilitation for twelve weeks. They were assessed with cardiopulmonary exercise test, BODE index and quality of life before and after treatment. Results The maximum work, maximal oxygen uptake, 6-minute walk distance, scores of modified Version of the British Medical Researsh Council Respiratory Questionnaire, BODE index, activities of daily living, social activities, depression and anx-iety improved in the rehabilitation group after treatment (t>3.379, P<0.01), and were better than those in the control group (t>2.201, P<0.05). No imporvement was found in all the indices in the control group after treatment (t<2.339, P>0.05). Conclusion Multidisciplinary comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation can effectively improve exercise tolerance and quality of life in aged patients with pneumoconiosis.
