Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

This study aimed to assess airway inflammation in patients during the course of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) by serial analyses of their exhaled breath condensates (EBC).

To conduct a longitudinal study of the relationship between the rate of decline of pulmonary function and measurements of cortisol concentration and excretion in a sample of middle-aged and older men and their wives. The study tested the hypothesis that persons whose plasma cortisol concentrations were relatively low, albeit within the normal range, were predisposed to excessively rapid deterioration of pulmonary function during aging.

To provide information necessary for the development of standards for peak expiratory flow (PEF) test performance in populations studies.

To compare the persistence in using two different medications from the same drug class (LAMA/LABA FDC) which are delivered through different devices, a dry-powder inhalers (DPI) and Soft Mist Inhalers (SMI).

The balance, gait and pain in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) study will aim to investigate the link between balance and gait impairment, and high rates of pain in people with COPD. This cross-sectional observational study will compare balance and gait outcomes for people with COPD who have pain, to those who are pain free.

There is an excess of hospitalization rates for acute exacerbation of COPD in Picardy compared to the national data. A first study realized in Picardy has shown a link between air quality and COPD. Nevertheless, the particles type is unknown and according to it, impact on COPD could be different. The investigator goal is to find a correlation between acute exacerbation of COPD consultation rate and daily ultra thin particles in Haut de France. The investigators will correlate the particles composition with daily acute exacerbation of COPD rate. All COPD patients with a diagnosis of acute exacerbation in emergency room in University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie and Lille, and Clinique de l'Europe between 01/01/2020 and 31/12/2020 will be included. For each patient, home and work address will be collected. The duration of 1 year was chosen to take into account seasonal variations. In parallel, a daily report of the rate of ozone, particles (PM2.5 and PM10), dioxide nitrogen but also odours and pollens will be done by ATMO Haut de France.

The purpose of this prospective, epidemiological, cohort study is to evaluate the lung microbiome in stable-state chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Japanese participants

In korea, it is not easy to practice standard pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). in this study, we'll educate PR to patients and make reservation for re-visiting outpatients clinics with PR diary. we want to confirm whether patients, who perform home based PR during more than 30 minutes in 3 days per week, present improved dyspnea score or quality of life compared with non-compliance group.

The study is a prospective, observational study of patients admitted to the BLOCK COPD network hospitals with acute AMI and COPD to determine the prevalence of COPD in patients admitted to the hospital with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to characterize the phenotypic expression and severity of their underlying lung disease. Patients with will be identified via the EMR. 571 participants will be enrolled.

The aim of the project was to assess the acceptability of the device as well as adherence to the study. The objective of study was to assess physical activity in patients with COPD during in-hospital pulmonary rehabilitation program. The number of steps, average energy expenditure expressed in MET and kcal, and physical activity time during the consecutive 5 days of the rehabilitation stay were analyzed. Physical activity level was continuously monitored to assess intensity during in-hospital procedures as well as during leisure time.
