The China National COPD Screening Program

July 28, 2022 updated by: Ting YANG, China-Japan Friendship Hospital

The National Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Screening Program in China

The national COPD screening program is in a cross-sectional manner at the baseline, planning to recruit a total of 800,000 participants from 160 districts or counties (5,000 for each site on average) from 31 provinces, autonomous regions or municipalities directly under the central government of China. The filtered COPD high-risk population and confirmed COPD patients will be managed and followed up according to the standardized clinical guidelines. The major aims of the program are to estimate the prevalences of COPD high-risk population and under- or miss- diagnosed COPD patients, and to manage the development and outcomes of the disease.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

35 years to 75 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adults who are potentially under a high risk of suffering COPD with an age between 35 and 75 years are eligible to be recruited. The participants should be residents who were living in the survey area with more than six months in the past year.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • adults aged between 35 and 75 years;
  • residents living in the survey area with more than 6 months in the past year.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • experienced myocardial infarction, stroke or shock in the past 3 months;
  • experienced severe cardiac insufficiency, severe arrhythmia or unstable angina pectoris in the past 4 weeks;
  • experienced massive hemoptysis in the past 4 weeks;
  • received chest, abdominal or ophthalmic surgery in the past 3 months;
  • have mental disorders (e.g. auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, taking antipsychotics, seizures requiring medication, etc.);
  • have cognitive impairment (e.g. dementia, comprehension impairment, etc.);
  • have uncontrolled hypertension (i.e. systolic blood pressure > 200 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg);
  • present with heart rate >120 beats/min;
  • have aortic aneurysm;
  • have severe hyperthyroidism;
  • are pregnant or lactating women;
  • experienced respiratory infectious diseases (e.g. tuberculosis, influenza, etc.) in the past month.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Non-COPD high-risk population
The local residents gain a COPD-SQ score < 16.
Other: Comprehensive intervention and management Ⅰ
Mainly health advisory.
COPD high-risk population
The participants have a COPD-SQ score ≥ 16 with a FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70 either with or without bronchodilator administration.
Other: Comprehensive intervention and management Ⅱ
Health advisory and regular follow-ups.
Confirmed COPD patients
The participants have a COPD-SQ score ≥ 16 with a FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70 after administration of bronchodilators.
Other: Comprehensive intervention and management Ⅲ
Pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical (e.g. health advisory, rehabilitation, etc.) interventions according to standardized clinical guidelines, with regular follow-ups.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lung function
Time Frame: 2 years
The changes of lung function (e.g. FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, etc.) (P.S.: it is hard to assume that the lung function would be improved or decling, especially for the pre- or early-COPD population)
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Respiratory symptoms
Time Frame: 2 years
The appearance frequencies of respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough, sputum, wheeze, dyspnea, etc.)
2 years
Exacerbations
Time Frame: 2 years
The numbers of exacerbations (e.g. emergency department visit, hospital admission, etc.) that related to COPD
2 years

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 9, 2021

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
