OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of standard care (SoC) combined with supervised in-bed cycling (Bed-Cycle) or booklet exercises (Book-Exe) versus SoC in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

METHODS: In this randomised controlled trial, 186 patients with CAP were assigned to SoC (n = 62), Bed-Cycle (n = 61), or Book-Exe (n = 63). Primary outcome length of stay (LOS) was analysed with analysis of covariance. Secondary outcomes, 90-day readmission and 180-day mortality, were analysed with Cox proportional hazard regression and readmission days with negative-binominal regression.

RESULTS: LOS was -2% (95% CI -24 to 25%) and -1% (95% CI -22 to 27%) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe, compared to SoC. 90-day readmission was 35.6% for SoC, 27.6% for Bed-Cycle, and 21.3% for Book-Exe. Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for 90-day readmission was 0.63 (95% CI 0.33-1.21) and 0.54 (95% CI 0.27-1.08) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared to SoC. aHR for 90-day readmission for combined exercise was 0.59 (95% CI 0.33-1.03) compared to SoC. aHR for 180-day mortality was 0.84 (95% CI 0.27-2.60) and 0.82 (95% CI 0.26-2.55) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared to SoC. Number of readmission days was 226 for SoC, 161 for Bed-Cycle, and 179 for Book-Exe. Incidence rate ratio for readmission days was 0.73 (95% CI 0.48-1.10) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.51-1.15) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared to SoC.

CONCLUSION: Although supervised exercise training during admission with CAP did not reduce LOS or mortality, this trial suggests its potential to reduce readmission risk and number of readmission days.
