Introduction: Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is a valuable treatment for those with a chronic lung conditions however this treatment is not widely accessed, particularly in ethnic diverse populations (Leicester 45% White British).

Aim: To explore the benefits of PR across ethnic groups, genders and respiratory diagnoses.

Methods: Those referred for PR between January 2022 and January 2023 were included in the analysis. The outcomes of interest are the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT), Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire-Dyspnoea (CRQ-D), COPD Assessment Test (CAT).

Results: 313 individuals (150(48%) male, 238(76%) White British, mean [SD] age 66[11] years) were included in the analysis. 175 (56%) people commenced a programme and 114 (65%) people completed the programme. There were no differences in uptake or completion across ethnicities, gender or diagnosis. There are no significant differences between ethnic groups, gender or primary diagnosis for the change in ISWT or CAT, however there are differences between CRQ-D at baseline across ethnicities (table 1). There is a significant difference between number of sessions completed by disease group, however this is not maintained if classified by attending ?/<75% sessions.

Conclusion: PR is effective irrespective of ethnicity, gender or diagnosis, however this is an under-utilised resource with small percentages of other ethnicities attending PR relative to the local population.
