Trial Outcomes & Findings for COPD Assessment and Management Bundle Versus Usual Care (NCT NCT01833026)

NCT ID: NCT01833026

Last Updated: 2019-12-24

Results Overview

accuracy of diagnosis was the outcome measure. The results of the spirometry test (done in the beginning for the intervention group and ant the end of 1 year for the usual care groups) were reviewed in conjunction with the initial physician diagnosis of COPD and/or asthma to confirm whether the diagnosis was accurate, not accurate, or indeterminate. Accuracy of diagnosis of COPD was determined by spirometry results if the FEV1/FVC ratio was \<0.7.

Measure
Usual Care
Patients with a physician-diagnosed COPD or physician-diagnosed asthma suspicious for COPD being managed by the physician randomized to the usual care group will provide medical history, not initially have a spirometry, and will be observed as usual care. Outcomes will be assessed every 3 months for up to one year through patient telephone calls and medical chart reviews. At the conclusion of the research study which will be 12 months from the patients' initial visit, patients being managed by the physician randomized to the usual care group will have a spirometry test and these results will not be shared with the doctor or the patients during the study but will be uploaded to the electronic health record after the end of the study for future reference.
Intervention

Spirometry test: For the initial visit for the intervention group, an initial demographics form and a health questionnaire will given to the subject to complete. To evaluate the breathing and quality of living, a spirometry test

n=34 Participants
Patients with a physician-diagnosed COPD or asthma suspicious for COPD being managed by the physician randomized to the intervention group will perform a spirometry test and provide information regarding their medical history on their initial visit, which is 90 minutes before their doctor's appointment. A letter containing the interpretation of spirometry test results, and recommendations for guideline based therapy based on GOLD guidelines will be available to the primary care doctor at the time of the patient's clinic visit. The doctor may review the results and use his or her own judgment in moving forward with the subject's diagnosis and management. A copy of the spirometry results and assessment based on the GOLD criteria at the time of the test of your subject will be uploaded to his or her electronic health record for future reference. Outcomes will be assessed every 3 months for up to one year through patient telephone calls and medical chart reviews.
