Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Clinical Trial Description

Objective This cohort study aims to describe and understand differences and similarities in characteristics among people with severe and advanced COPD who opt-in or opt out of PR services. The study includes data from: socio-demographic, anthropometric, physical (function, activity, muscle strength, balance) characteristics as well as self-reported symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, lung symptoms, quality of life, sleep-quality, mortality, hospitaladmissions, length of stay and qualitative patient interviews. Data from our completed trial study (NCT02667171) will be used as the opt-in PR comparison cohort. ;
