• The aim of this study was to determine the impact of hospitalizations on levels of physical activity (PA) and whether other factors were associated with subsequent changes in PA. Prospective observational cohort study with a nested case-control study, with follow-up 60 days from the index hospital admission. Nine hospitals participated in the study. Patients were recruited consecutively. Several variables and questionnaires of the clinical baseline status of the patients were recorded including: the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), the Hospital Anxiety-Depression scale (HADS), comorbidities and the Yale Physical Activity Survey. Patients’ data related to admission and up to two months after discharge were also recorded. 883 patients were studied: 79.7% male; FEV1 48%; Charlson index 2; 28.7% active smokers. The baseline PA level for the total sample was 23 points. A statistically significant difference in PA was found between patients readmitted up to 2 months after the index admission and those not readmitted (17vs. 27, p < 0.0001). Multivariable linear regression analysis identified the following as predictors of the decrease of PA from baseline (index admission) up to 2 months follow-up: admission for COPD exacerbation in the two months prior to the index admission; readmission up to 2 months after the index admission; baseline HAD depressive symptoms, worse CAT score, and patient-reported “need for help”. In a cohort of admitted COPD patients, we identified a strong relationship between hospitalization for exacerbation and PA. In addition, some other potentially modifiable factors were found associated with the change in PA level after an admission. •The most severe COPD exacerbations (hospitalization) have a close relationship with deterioration pf physical activity.•There is a profile od COPD patients that suffer the highest impact in physical activity after one hospitalization.•Most of the factors related to deterioration of physical activity after a hospitalization are modifiable.
