Severe Prospective Observational Study of COPD in Catalonia

Multicenter observational study to characterize and follow-up a cohort of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Catalonia

Study Overview

Status

Not yet recruiting

Detailed Description

Creation of the first multicenter observational study in Catalonia to characterize and follow-up of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The follow-up will be up to 5 years, with a first initial visit and control visits every year. All patients will be recruited from respiratory departments from major hospitals from Catalonia, a region with approximately 8 million inhabitants and a wide web of public hospitals.

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.

Study Population

COPD subjects from respiratory departments in Hospitals from Catalonia

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Informed consent: a signed and dated written informed consent prior to study participation
  • Age: Subjects 35 years of age or order at visit 1.
  • Severe COPD diagnosis: an established severe COPD defined by spirometry values:

    • A post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1/FVC ratio of <0.70 at visit 1. FEV1: forced expiratory volume at one second FVC: forced vital capacity.
    • A post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 50% predicted normal
  • Smoking history: ≥ 10 pack-years at visit 1
  • Stable phase of the disease (not less than 4 weeks of stability prior visit 1)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects not giving written informed consent.
  • Subjects at risk of non-compliance, or unable to comply with the scheduled visits.
  • Subjects affected mainly by another severe chronic respiratory disease that justifies the ventilatory alteration, for example pulmonary fibrosis or severe bronchiectasis
  • Subjects with carcinoma that has not been in complete remission for at least 5 years.
  • Subjects with α1-antitrypsin deficiency as the underlying cause of COPD
