Official title
Severe Prospective Observational Study of COPD in Catalonia
Overview
Multicenter observational study to characterize and follow-up a cohort of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Catalonia
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.
Primary outcome measures
- Cohort creation in Catalonia [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with severe COPD in Catalonia. [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Assess the natural history and prognosis of severe COPD [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Assess effect of the different treatments, both inhaled and non-inhaled, on the disease progression and according to the patient's phenotype. [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Impact of exacerbations and chronic bronchial infection on the evolution of COPD [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Importance of comorbidities in the evolution of COPD [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
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
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
