Predictive Properties of the 6-Minute Stepper Test for Mortality in COPD
Retrospective study aimed to answer the following research questions : What are the predictive properties of the 6-minute stepper in COPD for 2-year mortality in individuals with COPD ? What are the predictive properties of the 6-minute stepper in COPD for 5-year mortality in invididuals with COPD ?
Biannual Review of Exhaled Air and Trends in Health Evaluation in COPD
This study aims to evaluate how airway inflammation, lung function, and symptoms change over time in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway inflammation will be assessed using a simple breath test (FeNO) and a small blood sample to measure eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. Participants will …
Compare the Effects of Nebulizer Versus Inhaler Based Therapy for COPD Using Long-acting Bronchodilators
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of inhaled bronchodilators delivered via nebulizers vs. dry powder inhalers (DPIs) in symptomatic participants with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC ≤ 70%) and show significant air trapping (RV ≥ 120% of predicted). The investigators hypothesize …
Effectiveness of DITM Versus IMT in COPD Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if digital inhaled therapy management (DITM) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT), alone or in combination, can improve outcomes in adults aged 40 years and older with symptomatic, high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with moderate to severe airflow limitation (FEV1/FVC \< …
Mindful Steps 2.0: Promoting Physical Activity in Patients With COPD and HF
The goal of this fully-remote randomized controlled trial is to test the efficacy of Mindful Steps in facilitating physical activity compared to usual standard of care among 136 patients with COPD and/or HF. The main question it aims to answer is can this intervention promote physical activity as measured by …
Photon-counting CT in Chest Imaging
Purpose and objective: This project aims to evaluate photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) quantitative accuracy using COPDGene subjects. The goal is to establish acquisition protocols for PCCT scans with proper post-processing (e.g., reconstruction parameters and harmonization techniques) that enable reproducible measurements of emphysema metrics (e.g., Perc15, LAA-950, HU accuracy) and airways …
Cervical Nags Effect on Accessory Muscles
The aim of this work is to record changes on accessory muscles especially sternocleidomastoid and scalene after applying cervical NAGs in COPD patients.
Comparison of Patients With COPD and PRISM
COPD is a preventable and treatable lung disease characterized by persistent and progressive airflow limitation. PRISm, on the other hand, is a spirometry pattern that does not meet COPD diagnostic criteria despite symptoms and functional impairments, but requires maintenance. PRISm can predispose to the development of COPD and exacerbations, and …
Ultrasound of the Diaphragm Excursion Ratio as Physiological Biomarker in Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
3.1 Introduction and rationale In 2020 an estimate of 562.700 people had Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in the Netherlands, resulting in 21.335 hospital admissions.\[1\] An acute exacerbation COPD (AECOPD) in combination with hospital admission is associated with high mortality and morbidity. \[2\] Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been very effective …
Evaluation of the Paramedic Evaluation for Acute COPD Exacerbation
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious lung condition that affects millions of people in the United States. Each year, it leads to about 150,000 deaths, nearly 900,000 emergency room visits, and 700,000 hospital stays. When COPD symptoms suddenly get worse-called an exacerbation-it can seriously harm a person's quality …
