Trial summary

The etiology of bronchiectasis, known as permanent, abnormal, and localized development of bronchi, varies. However, most of them are responsible for infections during childhood. The prevalence of bronchiectasis is particularly high in advanced COPD patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Bronchiectasis on Respiratory Functions, Exercise Capacity, Dyspnea Perception and Quality of Life in COPD Patients

The etiology of bronchiectasis, known as permanent, abnormal, and localized development of bronchi, varies. However, most of them are responsible for infections during childhood. The prevalence of bronchiectasis is particularly high in advanced COPD patients. This phenomenon, called COPD-bronchiectasis overlap syndrome, affects the clinic of COPD patients negatively. In this study; bronchiectasis in respiratory function, exercise capacity, dyspnoea and quality of life in COPD patients.

The etiology of bronchiectasis, known as permanent, abnormal, and localized development of bronchi, varies. However, most of them are responsible for infections during childhood. The prevalence of bronchiectasis is particularly high in advanced COPD patients. This phenomenon, called COPD-bronchiectasis overlap syndrome, affects the clinic of COPD patients negatively. In this study; bronchiectasis in respiratory function, exercise capacity, dyspnoea and quality of life in COPD patients.

Torax CTs of patients with COPD who are admitted to the outpatient clinic will be examined. There will be two groups, group 1 in patients with COPD accompanied by bronchiectasis and group 2 in COPD patients without bronchiectasis. In both groups, respiratory function tests, exercise capacities, dyspnea perceptions and quality of life will be evaluated. The data will be compared between the two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Exercise capacity

    six minute walk test

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Dyspnea Severity

    mMRC Dyspnea Scale (0: no dyspnea, 4: very severe dyspnea)

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Lung Function

    Respiratory Function Test

    Measured: 20 minutes

  3. Health Related Quality of Life

    St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (maximum score: 100, lower score means better quality of life)

    Measured: 25 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis and Copd, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

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?

Exercise capacity (time frame: 15 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2018.
