About this study

Official title: Clinical Profile and Cognitive Status in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease's Patients

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic condition involving an impairment in functionality and in the execution of activities of daily life. The hypothesis of this study is to examine the relationship between cognitive status and clinical profile (respiratory, sleep quality, nutritional status) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in two different moments: exacerbation or stable situation.

Read the detailed description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a pathology with a systemic impact with a progressive evolution that is characterized by the presence of chronic airflow obstruction.

Patients with COPD may have problems with cognitive functioning, either globally or in single cognitive domains, such as information processing, attention and concentration, memory, executive functioning and self-regulation.

Several studies have determined the prevalence of cognitive impairment in COPD compared to healthy control subjects, reaching very high levels, 36% of COPD patients with mild cognitive impairment compared with 12 % non- COPD subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cognitive impairment

    The cognitive impairment will be measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment is a test designed as a rapid screening instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Sleep quality

    Participants are going to complete the Pittsburgh Quality of Sleep Index. This is a self-rating questionnaire with seven subscores that result in a global score between 0 and 21.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Activity monitoring

    The accelerometer Armband is going to be used for activity monitoring. It measures the intensity of the activity during 12 hours.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Nutritional state

    Mini Nutritional Assessment has been designed and validated to provide a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in elderly patients in outpatient clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes. It is composed of simple measurements and brief questions that can be completed in about 10 min

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Quality of life

    Quality of life associated with health is going to be measured with two questionnaires: the EuroQol-5 questionnaire and the Health Questionnaire St. George

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Cough

    The Leicester Cough Questionnaire-acute is a validated cough-related health status questionnaire designed for patients with chronic cough.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Comorbidities

    Comorbidities are going to be measured with the Charlson comorbidity index. The Charlson comorbidity index predicts the ten-year mortality for a patient who may have a range of comorbid conditions, such as heart disease, AIDS, or cancer (a total of 22 conditions). Each condition is assigned a score of 1, 2, 3, or 6, depending on the risk of dying associated with each one.

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Anxiety and depression

    Patients are going to completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale composed of statements relevant to either generalized anxiety or depression.

    Measured: Baseline

  8. Cognitive flexibility

    The cognitive flexibility of patients is measured using the Trial Making Test. This test explores visual-conceptual and visual-motor tracking, and it is a frequently used neuropsychological test.

    Measured: Baseline

  9. Forced vital capacity

    Forced vital capacity is going to be measured with a spirometer as recommended by the American Thoracic Society

    Measured: Baseline

  10. Forced expiratory volume in the first second

    Forced expiratory volume in the first second is going to be measured with a spirometer as recommended by the American Thoracic Society

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Universidad de Granada at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Marie Carmen Valenza, PhD (958242360, cvalenza@ugr.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cognitive impairment (time frame: Baseline). 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 21 May 2014.
