Filter by:This study aims to describe and measure the effectiveness of partnership-based nursing care for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their families. Investigators hypothesize that an holistic, inclusive -taking account of the challenge of multi-morbidity and the long-term relationship that patients with COPD and their families have with the nurses along with the open structure of whatever kind of services is needed in each patient-family case, often in interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration- , is beneficial as regards use of healthcare, health characteristics, HRQL, use of inhaler medications, sense of security in care and illness intrusiveness.
The objective is to verify that there is a decrease in the pulsed oxygen saturation with the digital sensor. That is, the drop in oxygen saturation in COPD patients during inhalation is real and not due to an artifact of the measuring tool, because oximeters need a quality pulsatile signal to properly measure oxygen saturation
The objective of this study is to investigate the patient acceptability/preference of Respimat® compared with Handihaler® in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to demonstrate the superiority of Respimat®.
This study evaluates whether structured self-monitoring (SSM) by a symptom checklist in combination with a pulse oximeter worn at the wrist allows lowlanders with COPD to accurately identify whether or not they will experience an altitude-related illness during altitude travel.
The purpose of this prospective, epidemiological, cohort study is to evaluate the lung microbiome in stable-state chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Japanese participants
This will be a randomized, cross-over trial evaluating the efficacy of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) vs. low-flow oxygen therapy (LFOT) on cycling endurance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Open-label comparative multicentric cohort study in COPD patients with LABA/ICS, switched to either tiotropium/olodaterol and observed for 12 weeks approximately.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways and lungs that develops against harmful particles or gases with exacerbations. Coexistence of bronchiectasis with COPD may lead to worsening of the functional parameters as well as alteration of the microbiological pattern in exacerbations and may negatively affect the exacerbation result parameters.
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow obstruction, which is clinically manifested by dyspnea and leads the patient to a vicious cycle of sedentary lifestyle. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an important therapeutic strategy to break this cycle. Cardiovascular diseases are frequent in patients with (COPD) and are associated with higher mortality. The effects of (PR) on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with (COPD) have been little studied so far. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation compared to the control group on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with (COPD). Methods: A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. Patients with (COPD) will be divided into two groups: Group I (GI): group that will be rehabilitated, with 3 weekly sessions, for 8 weeks and Group II (GII): control group, without intervention. In both groups, a baseline evaluation will be performed, which will be repeated after 9 weeks and consists of: clinical and laboratory parameters, endothelial function (FMD) and brachial ankle index (ABI). Outcomes commonly used in the assistance to assess (PR) will also be measured. Expected Results: The study is expected to improve understanding of the impact of (PR) on cardiovascular variables in patients with (COPD).
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab administered every 2 weeks in patients with moderate-or severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as measured by - Annualized rate of acute moderate and severe COPD exacerbation (AECOPD) Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the effect of dupilumab administered every 2 weeks on - Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) over 12 weeks compared to placebo - Health related quality of life, assessed by the change from baseline to Week 52 in the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) - Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 over 52 weeks compared to placebo - Lung function assessments - Moderate and severe COPD exacerbations - To evaluate safety and tolerability - To evaluate dupilumab systemic exposure and incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA)
