Filter by:The aim of this study is to provide high quality data and give a comprehensive overview of characteristics, clinical features, management and prognosis during exacerbations and stable periods among inpatients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in real-world China.
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))
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.
A complex interaction between demographic, environmental and genetic mechanisms impact the onset, severity and outcome of ILD-SARDs through dysregulation of the immune system and lung pro-biotic pathways. Comorbidity and genetic risk indicate that there are overlapping pathogenic mechanisms among SARDs, some of which underlie ILD in different SARDs. The purpose of this biobank is to study the clinical, pathological, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of SARDs patients with lung involvement. This will help identify as unique features underlying lung involvement in SARDs. In addition, this may lead to the discovery of novel mechanisms of disease and potentially novel targets of treatment for SARDs patients with lung disease.
The aim of the study is to evaluate a 12-week internet-based rehabilitation aftercare program with an emphasis on physical activity promotion for persons with COPD. The program starts directly after an inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. It includes monitoring and promotion of physical activity, progressive resistance and endurance training, education through online learning modules and continuous support from a therapist.
As a result of the study, inspiratory muscle strength, posture and physical performance evaluations of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease will be made, suggestions will be made to help individual postural smoothness and improve physical performance.
