Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the impact of a specific oral probiotic blend on the quality of life of adults with respiratory conditions.
This is a research study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug Mitiperstat (AZD4831) in adult patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This study aims to evaluate the comparative risk of dementia/Alzheimer's disease onset between patients treated with medications that target specific metabolic pathways and patients treated with alternative medications for the same indication.
This study aims to simulate the deposition of aerosol drugs within the airways of asthma and COPD patients based on realistic breathing patterns measured at different pulmonology centers. Further goal of the study is to find correlations between the amount of drug depositing in the lungs and the measured breathing parameters, as well as disease status and demographic data. The results of the study will be part of a major objective targeting the optimization and personalization of aerosol drug therapy.
This case-control study aims to investigate the association of severe COPD with oral health.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms (including breathlessness, cough, and sputum production), which has a substantial impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Medical treatment of COPD aims to reduce these symptoms, reduce exacerbations, and improve patients' ability to perform exercise and daily activities. TRIXEO is a triple therapy indicated as a maintenance treatment in adult patients with moderate-to-severe COPD who are not adequately treated by a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta2-agonist or combination of a long-acting beta2-agonist and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist. The RECORD study is a prospective, non-interventional study to be conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) and Germany. The study aims to generate data to describe the real world effectiveness of TRIXEO for patients with COPD who receive TRIXEO in routine clinical practice. It also aims describe patients HRQoL, physical activity and treatment satisfaction, and will explore patients' sleep quality and adherence to inhalers in the real-world. This data may provide important information for practicing physicians. The study will include approximately 500 patients with moderate to severe COPD from approximately 50 sites (including hospitals and GP practices) in Germany. Patients eligible for TRIXEO therapy may be enrolled by their treating physicians. The decision to treat with TRIXEO must be independent of the study and made by the treating physician according to the patients' medical need and local routine clinical practice. Patients' data will be collected for 12 months after starting therapy with TRIXEO. Demographic and clinical data will be extracted from patients' health care records. Patient reported outcomes will be collected remotely by asking patients to answer questionnaires on health status and HRQoL, physical activity, sleep quality, treatment satisfaction, and inhaled medication adherence through electronic surveys.

Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) in the context of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) is associated with increased mortality. The availability and effectiveness of domiciliary Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatment (when indicated) is key as this treatment can improve quality of life and reduce health-care costs from associated burden of disease. The emerging obesity epidemic means that there is now increased home mechanical ventilation set-ups in patients with obesity related respiratory failure (ORRF), yet there are no alternative treatments for patients struggling with domiciliary NIV. Domiciliary NHF has been shown to improve health related quality of life in stable CHRF in patients with COPD and improve cost effectiveness yet there are no current studies looking at the use of domiciliary NHF and its outcomes in ORRF. The study aims to deliver a pre and post intervention study evaluating patient reported and clinical outcomes in patients using NHF over twelve weeks, who have either COPD or OHS and have been unable to use domiciliary NIV. The study wishes to address key outcomes such as quality of life, clinical effectiveness, compliance and acceptability with the use of domiciliary NHF in both of these patient populations.
This panel study aims to evaluate the effects of air pollutants on cardiopulmonary health of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and explore the potential biological mechanisms.
Background: Initially conceived of as a method to address healthcare needs of underserved rural populations, Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Community Paramedicine (MIH/CP) is a new model of inter-professional, community-based outpatient healthcare delivery that primarily utilizes the resources and training of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to fill gaps in local healthcare infrastructure, expanding existing scope of practice in most cases while not detracting from acute transport capabilities. Although programs have been in existence since the early 1990s, there are few objective studies of the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of MIH/CP programs, many of which are limited-scope pilot projects. The limited data already published on these measures by established programs shows substantial Medicare charge-avoidances in patients enrolled in CHF-readmission prevention and EMS frequent user programs, and a significant reduction in Emergency Department visits overall, especially in austere environments. In summary, MIH/CP is an attempt at formalization of long-standing practices to collaborate with and supplement other healthcare system components such as primary care and home health services. Standardized, objective data collection and publication of results will be needed to support continuation and financial support of this emerging concept. Objective/Hypothesis: Using the existing resources of the MD-, RN- and Paramedic-staffed Lifespan Pediatric and Adult Critical Care Transport (LifePACT) service, investigators aim to study whether implementation of an MIH/CP pilot program tailored to the needs of an urban, underserved population in Providence, Rhode Island, will reduce the rate of 30-day hospital readmissions for patients after discharges for community-acquired pneumonia, acute MI, and COPD. In addition, investigators will study whether such a program is considered to be safe (in terms of not increasing the number of adverse events post-discharge for patients or compromising the efficacy of the LifePACT transport role) and considered satisfactory by patients (rated comparably to visits by other outpatient health care services such as VNA services).
