Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be ≥40 years old
  • Clinical diagnosis of COPD or pulmonary function testing reflecting an FEV1/FVC ratio of <0.70
  • Current or previous smoker with at least 10 pack-years of cigarette smoking
  • Recently hospitalized for an exacerbation of COPD

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Multicomponent Intervention to Decrease COPD-related Hospitalizations

The investigators' proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that will prospectively examine the effect of a multicomponent intervention on the rate of hospitalizations, daily physical activity, self efficacy and health status in patients who have COPD and have been hospitalized because of a COPD exacerbation.

In the study, a convenience sample of patients recently hospitalized for a COPD exacerbation, who meet the selection criteria and agree to participate will be randomized to receive one of the following at the time of hospital discharge: (1) the current standard of care plus a multicomponent intervention (counselor + pulmonary rehabilitation) or (2) the current standard of care without the intervention.

This study plans to test the following hypotheses: (1) The primary outcome of the study to be the composite endpoint of death or COPD hospitalization (2) Time to first rehospitalization will be shorter in the intervention group than the control group (3) At follow-up, the physical activity level measured in terms of the average number of steps and active energy expenditure will be higher in the intervention group than in the control group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Self-Management and Motivational InterviewingBehavioural

    Post hospital discharge, patients will be referred (<2 weeks) to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) (1-2 sessions per week for 6-8 weeks). PR visits (approximately 1 hour) will include education, strengthening and endurance exercise as the patient tolerates.

    A counselor (RN or RRT) and patient will meet once weekly after PR session. The counselor will assess the patient's self efficacy and knowledge of self-management principles of COPD. Based on the assessment and greatest needs identified by patient, the counselor will work with the participant to collaboratively develop a specific SM plan.Motivational interviewing techniques will be used.

    Following completion of PR, the counselor will contact the patient monthly to provide clinical support on SM of COPD. To ensure consistency of intervention, we will use standardized treatment procedures and phone scripts.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the impact of the intervention initiated after hospital discharge from a COPD exacerbation on the rate of COPD related re-hospitalizations in the intervention versus the control group .

    "a priori" measure as funded by NIH

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To determine the impact of the intervention initiated after hospital discharge from a COPD exacerbation on the rate of the composite outcome, COPD related hospitalizations or death in the intervention versus the control group.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To determine the impact of the intervention on self efficacy for physical activity and disease management, physical activity level and active energy expenditure, and health-related quality of life

    Measured: 12 months

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the impact of the intervention initiated after hospital discharge from a COPD exacerbation on the rate of COPD related re-hospitalizations in the intervention versus the control group . (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01058486, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
