Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Design: A randomised controlled trial of patients discharged from hospital after an episode of acute exacerbation of COPD. Patients will be randomised to the intervention arm or usual care group.
Setting: Tertiary University affiliated Hospital.
Interventions:
The Intervention group will receive a comprehensive programme which involves inputs from doctors, respiratory nurses and physiotherapists, providing an individualized care plan for each subject. The components in the programme will include optimization of medications, specialist physician follow up, nursing support in education, and physiotherapist support for pulmonary rehabilitation. Patients in the intervention group will also receive monthly telephone calls by a respiratory nurse for a period of 1 year to assess their conditions and answer their queries. Patients will also be followed up in the respiratory clinic by respiratory specialist once every 3 months for 1 year.
The control group will be managed as the usual care. The discharging physician will determine the patients' medication and follow up as in normal practice.
All patients will be asked to return for assessments (spirometry, 6 minute walk test, questionnaires on the severity of dyspnoea and quality of life) at baseline and 12 months
Main outcome measures: The primary endpoint is the hospital readmission rate and the secondary endpoints are the quality of life, mortality, lung function and exercise capacity of the patients.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Hospital Readmission
Time Frame: 12 months
|
To investigate the effectiveness of a comprehensive care programme in reducing hospital admission in COPD patients who have been discharged from hospital for an episode of AECOPD.
|
12 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Quality of Life
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Measured by change in St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score from baseline to 12 month.
SGRQ total score ranged from 0-100.
The change was calculated by the 12 month SGRQ total score minus the baseline value.
Negative values indicated improvement in quality of life.
|
12 months
|
Mortality
Time Frame: 12 months
|
From contacting the patient/their family and hospital record retrieval.
|
12 months
|
Lung Function
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Measurement of change of spirometry (FEV1 % predicted) from baseline to 12 month.
The range is from 0% to 100%.
The change was calculated by 12 month value minus the baseline value.
Positive value indicated improvement in lung function.
|
12 months
|
Exercise Capacity
Time Frame: 12 month
|
Exercise capacity was measured by change in 6 minutes walk test distance from baseline to 12 month.
6 minute walk test is the distance that the patient can walk over 6 minutes and it can range to 0 meters to few hundred meters.
This was calculated by the 12 month 6 minutes walk test distance minus that of the baseline.
Positive values indicated improvement in exercise capacity.
