Objective:

To assess the feasibility of a structured singing program as a maintenance strategy following pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic respiratory disease.

Key Findings:

63% of SLH participants attended at least eight of 12 sessions, exceeding the 60% adherence threshold.
92% of participants completed the 12-week follow-up assessment.
Exploratory analyses indicated potential benefits in physical performance and lung function, particularly in asthma and COPD patients.
No safety concerns were identified, with adverse events being comparable between groups.

Interpretation:

The study demonstrates that a singing program post-PR is feasible, with positive participant engagement and potential health benefits, warranting further investigation.

Limitations:

The study was not powered to assess efficacy.
Operational challenges included high screening requirements and variable recruitment rates.

Conclusion:

A larger randomized controlled trial is recommended to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of singing for lung health as a maintenance strategy after pulmonary rehabilitation.
