NCT03174704
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death, affects over 24 million people in the US and is the leading cause of disability with projected healthcare costs at almost $50 billion. The goal of this study is to identify novel and potentially powerful targets for behavioral interventions in COPD which has been understudied despite its tremendous detrimental impact on overall public health.
NCT04011332
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect and effectiveness of the nurse-led integrated care programme for the management of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbations on patients' quality of life, rehospitalisation and exacerbation rate, illness-related emotional distress, selected health behaviours and cost-utility at three months. Furthermore, understanding barriers and facilitators to implementation success is of interest.
NCT04249388
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cornerstone of care for people with COPD. There is robust evidence that PR improves exercise capacity, enhances health-related quality of life (QoL) and reduces healthcare utilization. PR is strongly recommended in guidelines for COPD management. Despite the compelling evidence for its benefits, PR is delivered to less than 30% of people with COPD. Access is particularly challenging, an especially for those with the most progressed disease stages. We recently completed a randomized clinical trial, showing that approximately 1.100 patients annually are offered conventional hospital-based PR during routine consultations in the Capital Region of Denmark, but at least 700 patients declines participation. No major cohort studies have been published from people with severe and advanced COPD who opt out of traditional pulmonary rehabilitation. By establishing such cohort study, objective and qualitative knowledge from assessments and patient interviews is collected in patients we have very limited access to and knowledge of. Additionally, the collected data will give a deeper insight and understanding and possibly enable us to design new delivery models to be tested in proper study designs.
