Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if educational intervention is effective in reducing exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with low-risk disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is growing evidence about the effectiveness of case management in preventing adverse events in patients with high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). But the majority of COPD patients belong to the low-risk category. We propose that a less intense educational intervention will have a similar beneficial effect in reducing hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) visits in this larger group of low-risk COPD patients.
