Filter by:In this 2-phase pilot study, the BiPAP A40 EFL will be evaluated in patients with severe COPD requiring home non-invasive ventilatory support with respect to patient-related and physiologic outcomes.
Although self-management treatment improves quality of life among individuals with COPD, there is limited understanding of which elements of treatment are most effective. The proposed research will test the feasibility of using an engineering-inspired study design to identify effective COPD self-management treatment components. The long-term goal of this line of research is to optimize the effectiveness of COPD self-management treatment, and improve quality of life for individuals with COPD.
The CAREPATH will conduct Technical Validation and Usability (TVU) study by involving ≥ 45 target end users (16 patients with MCI or mild dementia with their informal caregivers and 16 healthcare professionals from various disciplines) and Clinical Investigation (CI) study involving ≥ 200 patients (≥ 100 users to pilot the CAREPATH platform and ≥ 100 patients as reference cases). Both of these pilot studies will be coordinated in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) with diverse health and social care systems, ICT landscape/digital maturity of healthcare provision and dementia national programs, which will allow for strengthening the evidence base on health outcomes and efficiency gains. The CAREPATH outcomes can be summarized as: 1. An Integrated Care Platform that jointly addresses multimorbidity, dementia and diminished intrinsic capacity and optimally manages healthcare interventions for its users (patients, informal caregiver, healthcare providers, etc). 2. Technical Validation and Usability (TVU) study involving over 45 users and Clinical Investigation (CI) involving over 200 patients that will be conducted in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) during two years and mobilizing the other necessary actors, such as caregivers and healthcare professionals, for the validation of healthcare interventions. 3. Dementia / Multimorbidity Guidelines that will be conceived for best healthcare delivery. 4. Health Economics Impact Assessment for healthcare cost effectiveness and care provision equalities. The incremental cost-effectiveness and the incremental cost-utility ratio would allow revealing the incremental cost (or the potential savings) per unit of benefit of switching from usual care to CAREPATH-an integrated patient-centred approach- in multimorbid elderly patients with dementia, and therefore, to determinate whether the CAREPATH approach would be considered as a cost-effective alternative.
Evaluation of immunogenicity, safety and persistence of the subjects aged 60 years and above with chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease received the third dose of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine .
To evaluate the effect of Mucomyst nebulizer therapy on improvement in symptoms and quality of life in COPD patients with difficulty of expectoration.
Home based and tele-rehabilitation programs may be potentially useful to deliver and to maintain the benefits in difficult-to-reach areas. Tele-health technologies allow for distribution of healthcare services and exchange of information between healthcare providers and patients in different geographical locations and provide an important tool to reach people living in rural communities. In a previous single center study, we had shown that a home pedometer assisted program to enhance physical activity was as effective as and cheaper than a standard outpatient supervised exercise training program.13 We wondered whether the results of that study 13 might be confirmed in a larger multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT). Therefore the aim of this multicenter RCT was to evaluate the benefits and costs of a program of pedometer assisted physical activity as compared to standard hospital outpatient supervised exercise training program.
Early PR is thought to be effective in COPD patients recovering from acute exacerbation, while the effect of HFNC during exercise training in these patients remains unclear. The study may provide evidence of early PR in COPD patients recovering from acute exacerbation.
Double Blind, Multinational, Multicentre, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Way Cross-Over Study To Evaluate The Effect Of A Triple Combination Of Beclometasone Dipropionate And Formoterol Fumarate Plus Glycopyrronium (CHF5993) And A Dual Combination Of Beclometasone Dipropionate Plus Formoterol Fumarate (CHF1535) Both Administered Via pMDI On Lung Hyperinflation And Exercise Endurance Time In Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
In this study the investigators aim to detect and characterize structural airway and lung vessel changes due to COPD or ILD as assessed by real-time high fidelity expiratory CO2 analysis. The long-term goal is to detect pulmonary structural changes in a stage, when variables of currently used standard methods (e.g. pulmonary function test) are not yet altered.
The aim of this multi-center, randomized controlled pilot- and feasibility trial is to evaluate the user satisfaction, reach and safety of My COPD, a novel eHealth tool for remote delivery of evidence-based treatment targeting people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, the investigators aim to collect and synthesize data on clinical outcome measures to inform the sample size estimation of a later, definitive trial.
