NCT05661435
Listening to breath sounds with the stethoscope/auscultation is used by pulmonary physicians in conjunction with pulmonary function, signs and symptoms, oxygen saturation and diagnostic testing to admit, follow and discharge patients from hospital. Of these, only auscultation routinely ceases upon discharge from Hospital. Healthcare utilization statistics have shown that for more than a decade, readmission after discharge for an exacerbation of COPD or severe asthma (or chronic heart failure) remains a major problem. The Strados RESP Biosensor has been designed to extend the range of lung sound recording both geographically and temporally to improve the standard of care when access to continuous monitoring has been replaced by periodic or no monitoring. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the associations between RESP Biosensor-acquired lung findings and subjective measures of respiratory symptoms as measured by validated measurement tools, and objective measure of respiratory physiology as determined by home spirometry
NCT04127383
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the Assessment of Burden of Chronic Conditions (ABCC)-tool for patients with COPD, asthma, diabetes mellitus type 2 or heart failure (and any combination of these conditions) in real-life routine practice. The ABCC-tool consists of a questionnaire, a visualisation using balloons that is based on cut-off points, and treatment advice. The ABCC-tool is intended to be used in daily healthcare practice, is designed to monitor a patient's integrated health status over time, to facilitate shared decision making, and to stimulate self-management. The study has a pragmatic clustered quasi-experimental design with two arms. The intervention group will use the ABCC-tool and the control group will receive usual care. The study will be implemented at a general practice-level, and has a follow-up period of 18 months. The primary outcome is change in perceived quality of care, as measured with the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC), as compared to usual care after 18 months. It is hypothesized that the change in perceived quality of care is significantly higher in the group using the ABCC-tool as compared to the group that receives usual care. Additionally the implementation of the ABCC-tool in general practices will be evaluated in 12 general practices. The implementation study will evaluate the context of caregivers with the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, the process of implementation with the RE-AIM framework, and fidelity to the intervention with the fidelity framework.
