Filter by:A prospective cohort study was used to observe the efficacy and safety of different immunosuppressive agents with/wo pirfenidone on CTD-ILD patients in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University for 36 months.The main research endpoints are lung function, patient dyspnea score, 6-minute walking distance, imaging indicators, primary disease activity, adverse reactions, etc.
Lung structural abnormalities are complex, time-consuming, and may lack reproducibility to evaluate visually on CT scans. The study's aim is to perform automated recognition of structural abnormalities in CT scans of patients with chronic lung diseases by using dedicated software.
The primary objective of this observational study is to investigate the correlation between changes from baseline at 52 weeks in forced vital capacity (FVC) and changes from baseline at 52 weeks in dyspnea score points or cough score points as measured with the pulmonary fibrosis questionnaire (L-PF) questionnaire over 52 weeks of nintedanib treatment in patients suffering from chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) with a progressive phenotype (excluding idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)).
The aim of the study is to examine the validity of peripheral oxygen saturation measurement during the 6-minute walk test in patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and to examine the utility of two other functional tests as markers of pulmonary involvement in patients with SSc.
The primary objective is to evaluate the incidence of adverse drug reactions (focus on hepatic function disorders) of Ofev Capsules under the real world setting in patients with Chronic fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases with a progressive phenotype (PF-ILD).
The investigating group aims at performing an observational, prospective study that involves the evaluation of circulating biomarkers predictive of clinical evolution in patients suffering from COVID-19 disease. In particular, the aim will be to verify whether there are transcripts or cytokines / chemokines in peripheral blood, modulated differently in patients with COVID-19, distinguished on the basis of the evolution towards more severe clinical pictures that require patient intubation or that show signs of cardiovascular damage. The study will be based on the transcriptional analysis of the entire genome and serum protein to evaluate the expression of a broad spectrum of cytokines and chemokines. Genome analysis will allow the genotype to be correlated to the identified gene expression profiles.
End-tidal CO2 measurements in children will be assessed for their accuracy with arterial CO2 measurements.
The primary objective is to confirm the incidence of adverse drug reactions (focus on gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhoea and nausea) to Ofev Capsules seen in clinical trials with real world data generated in patients with SSc-ILD.
Exercise training as part of a structured pulmonary rehabilitation program is a key factor in improving quality of life and symptoms in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Optimal methods of exercise training are yet to be explored in ILD. Drinking beetroot juice, which is rich in nitrate, has been shown to improve exercise performance in a variety of groups, but its effects in ILD have not been tested. The purpose of this study is to determine if drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice can improve exercise performance compared to drinking nitrate-free beetroot juice in people with ILD.
The objective of this protocol is to test the effectiveness of a Jumpstart intervention on patient-centered outcomes for patients with chronic illness by ensuring that they receive care that is concordant with their goals over time, and across settings and providers. This study is particularly interested in understanding the effect of the intervention to improve quality of palliative care for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) but will also include other common chronic, life-limiting illnesses. The specific aims are: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of the Survey-based Patient/Clinician Jumpstart compared to the EHR based clinician Jumpstart and usual care for improving quality of care; the primary outcome is EHR documentation of a goals-of-care discussion from randomization through hospitalization or 30 days. Secondary outcomes include: a) intensity of care outcomes (e.g., ICU use, ICU and hospital length of stay, costs of care during the hospitalization, 7 and 30 day readmission); and b) patient- and family-reported outcomes assessed by surveys at 3 days and 4 weeks after randomization, including occurrence and quality of goals-of-care discussions in the hospital, goal-concordant care, psychological symptoms, and quality of life. 2. To conduct a mixed-methods evaluation of the implementation of the intervention, guided by the RE-AIM framework for implementation science, incorporating quantitative evaluation of the intervention's reach and adoption, as well as qualitative analyses of interviews with participants, to explore barriers and facilitators to future implementation and dissemination.
