SWEEP: Shuttle Walking Test for Exercise Evaluation in Pulmonary Resection
This is a prospective observational study that evaluates whether the Shuttle Walking Test (SWT) can predict postoperative symptoms, particularly dyspnea, in patients with chronic respiratory diseases undergoing lung resection. Currently, tools such as DLCO or cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are used to assess surgical risk and exercise capacity before lung …
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stands as one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) lead to rapid respiratory function decline and worsened disease status. Despite recent studies, the ability of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict outcomes in patients with COPD remains controversial. It …
Research of Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography in Pre-COPD
The pre-stage of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Pre-COPD) is challenging to diagnose. However, identifying Pre-COPD is a crucial step in the prevention and management of COPD. Endobronchial optical coherence tomography showed the value of diagnosis in Pre-COPD and COPD in previous researchs.
Health Literacy, Physical and Cognitive Function, Health-related Behaviors, and Quality of Life in COPD
Health literacy is important for controlling disease progression and living a healthy life with illness. High health literacy is associated with higher cognitive performance and lower health-related quality of life. Physical, psychological, and social impairments are seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Studies investigating the relationship between health literacy …
Prevalence of Sarcopenic Obesity in COPD
The goal of this observational study is to the purpose is to apply of ESPEN/EASO criteria for the diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity and calculation of OS prevalence in a sample of COPD patients. In addition, this study want to evaluate the impact of sarcopenic obesity on the respiratory function of …
Cardiac Assessment and Takotsubo-stunning Among COPD-exacerbations In-Hospital
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate to what extent acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) triggers Takotsubo-stunning, and how this affects the outcome for these patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is cumulative incidence of Takotsubo-stunning in patients hospitalized for …
The Clear Conversations Project
Understanding health information can be difficult. This means some people struggle to know how to manage their health. Also, people may not know what health services to use or when to use them. This can lead to poorer health. It is therefore important health workers can communicate information clearly. This …
A Prognostic Model for COPD Complicated With Sarcopenic Obesity Based on Bioelectrical Impedance Phase Angle Technology
This study aims to explore the diagnosis, impact, and prognostic factors of COPD complicated with sarcopenic obesity using multi-segment bioelectrical impedance phase angle technology. It seeks to clarify the diagnostic value and efficacy of body composition analysis in specific populations, analyze the relationship between phase angle and COPD severity as …
Sleep Hygiene, Sarcopenia, and Cognitive Function in Respiratory Disease
We aim to clarify the relationship between sleep hygiene and the onset of sarcopenia or cognitive dysfunction using sleep time, arousal, and sleep quality as indicators in COPD or IPF patients, and clarify the effects of sleep hygiene on disease progression and life prognosis.
Clinimetric Properties of Muscle Mass and Stiffness Measurements of the Quadriceps in Patients With COPD
A large amount of patients with COPD suffer from muscle dysfunction characterized by losses of muscle mass and strength. Studies have shown an association between a loss of quadriceps muscle mass and premature death. This study aims to investigate the clinimetric properties of a simple quadriceps perimetry and ShearWave elastography …
