Filter by:Individuals who have COPD need a nursing service, which provides qualified and effective professional care, self-care, and supportive care to perform their daily life activities, and improve their quality of life. It is predicted that the Chronic Care-Based Training Program to be implemented and the follow-ups can increase the level of self-efficacy and satisfaction, and raise awareness on the management of the disease in patients. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the Chronic Care Model based education and telephone follow-up given to patients with COPD on self-efficacy and patient-reported outcomes. Also, the Modified Patient-Reported Outcome Scale for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-mCOPD-PRO scale, which will be used in the study, will be adapted into Turkish language and culture, and will be used in the study after its validity and reliability are examined.
This is a prospective interventional study to determine whether the profile of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in exhaled air (VOLATOLOM) is reproducible in stable severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients.
Discovery of the pathogenesis and targets in the progression of early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
This study aims to more accurately assess cardiac function, ventilation and exercise capacity in a non-invasive fashion, and to better characterize exercise intolerance in the setting of three populations of individuals with chronic diseases of childhood (acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity, and post-heart transplant (HT))
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization applied to the hamstring muscle on respiratory function in patients with COPDThe patients to be included in the study will be divided into two groups by simple randomization. A group will be given breathing exercises (pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic expansion exercises) as a home program. The other group will be given breathing exercises in the form of a home program in addition to 1 session of EDYM per week. Both groups will be evaluated before and 4 weeks after treatment.
In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients. The aim of this study to investigate relationship between spinal structure and mobility an severity of dyspnea in patients with COPD.
This is a multicenter observational prospective study in smokers or ex-smokers with cumulative exposure ≥ 10 a / p (years / pack) with respiratory symptoms and presenting a normal spirometry. The patients who sign the corresponding informed consent, will undergo a DLCO and will be divided into two groups according to the result: - Group I. Patients with DLCO <80%. - Group II Patients with DLCO≥80%. Both groups will be followed for 5 years.
Risk of rehospitalization within 30 days of discharge is higher than 20% in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and up to 20% for patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP). This pre-post intervention study aims to quantify the impact of continuous remote patient monitoring (RPM) on rates of hospital readmission for patients presenting with CAP or exacerbation of COPD and compare the intervention group to historical controls that did not have access to the intervention. We hypothesize that an intervention combining remote patient monitoring with the remote clinical services and escalation pathways available at SSH (including the Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) program) will reduce hospital readmission within the 30 days following hospital discharge compared to standard of care in this population.
The CATALINA study is a prospective cohort study embedded within CICERO (Collaboration In COPD ExaceRbatiOns, a European Respiratory Society supported Clinical Research Collaboration), designed to collect standardised, longitudinal clinical data and biological samples in 20 centres across Europe.
Aging of the population is dramatically increasing the number of hospitalized patients, with the consequent challenges of limited medical personnel and resources in hospitals. Wireless technologies that create highly connected healthcare environments are developed to help hospitals address these issues, once these technologies are perfectly integrated in the hospital environment with respect to IT infrastructure for big data storage. Such devices have proven remarkable efficiencies in monitoring patients with high patient safety, data accuracy and security, which are essential to provide high quality patient care, reduce health-related costs and optimize the management of high numbers of patients. Cough is the most common condition that results in a visit to the physician. Often coughs are benign, but sometimes can be the sign of exacerbations of a chronic respiratory disease. Exacerbations are defined in the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) document "as an acute event characterised by a worsening of the patient's respiratory symptoms that is beyond normal day-to-day variations and leads to a change in medication". It is assumed that, if coughs were remotely monitored, hospitals might be unburdened, patients would be empowered to self-manage their health, and that prevention of serious respiratory diseases might be facilitated, thus improving health outcomes. Unfortunately, remote monitoring for cough that rely on self-reporting is impractical, as patients do not record data very reliably. On the contrary, a microphone on the bedside table connected to a medical data analysis platform might monitor patients' cough exacerbations at night and alert the medical staff immediately.
