About this study

Official title: A Non Interventional, Retrospective Study on AECOPD Treatment Status in China

The purpose of this study is observe clinical practice including glucocorticoids treatment in AECOPD in China.

Read the detailed description

It is widely recognized that the global social and economic burden of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is high; affecting an estimated 64 million people worldwide. It was reported the prevalence of COPD in China population over 40 years old is about 8.2% (Zhong Nanshan et al, 2007). According to the report on China Chronic Disease, COPD is the second disease of Disability Adjusted Life Years. The economic burden of COPD is tremendous in China. Cost analysis in 2006 showed that every COPD patient in urban would pay 1732.24 $ on medical cost every year, indirect cost on nurse and traffic is 231.6 $, total cost would account for 40% of average family income in 2006(Chiang CH.,2008).AECOPD is one of most important cause leading to COPD death. Corticosteroid is essential for AECOPD management and recommended by domestic and international guidelines. But it shows that corticosteroid use for treating AECOPD in China is around 70% from market research in big hospitals, and less report about how steroid is used for AECOPD management was published, including distribution, dosage, treatment duration, etc. The healthcare resources utilization for treating AECOPD in China is also unclear.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of glucocorticoids treatment for AECOPD

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Percentage of oral /intravenous/ inhaled steroid therapy in patients treated with glucocorticoids, mean dosage, regimen and treatment duration via different administration route in hospital

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  2. Percentage of antibiotics treatment for AECOPD by clinicians during the hospitalization.

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  3. Mortality caused by AECOPD and recorded as primary cause of death by clinicians

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  4. Percentage of antibiotics treatment via different administration route for AECOPD, mean treatment duration via different administration route in hospital

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  5. Endotracheal intubation rate in treatment of AECOPD

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  6. Pneumonia rate at the diagnose of AECOPD and in treatment of AECOPD

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  7. Hospitalization duration and treatment cost due to AECOPD as primary cause

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  8. Percentage of treatment category before AECOPD and at discharge

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)

  9. Clinical efficacy and safety within different administration route of corticosteroid treatment

    Measured: day 1 to up to 30 days (Hospital discharge)
