About this study

An observational, multinational, cross sectional study to describe 24-hs symptoms, physical activity and their relationship in stable COPD patients in Europe

Read the detailed description

The study is a multi-centre, multi country, observational prospective cross sectional study to determine the prevalence and severity of early morning, day and night-time symptoms and physical activity patterns and to evaluate their correlation between each other and with disease severity, adherence to respiratory medications, direct costs and PROs in patients with stable COPD in Europe.

Approximately 2000 patients will be enrolled in convenient sites in several (9-12) selected countries.

Conditions
COPD
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients experiencing symptoms (previous 24 hours) and insufficient physical activity levels (previous month) despite being treated for COPD in real life setting.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. • Relationship between 24 hours symptoms (Exact, EMSCI & NiSCI questionnaires) and physical activity level (YPAS questionnaire) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  2. • Relationship between 24 hours symptoms (Exact, EMSCI & NiSCI questionnaires) and adherence to respiratory medication (SRSI for patients and inhalers technique assessed by investigators) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  3. • Relationship between 24 hours symptoms (Exact, EMSCI & NiSCI questionnaires) and disease classification (By GOLD recommendation) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  4. • Relationship between 24 hours symptoms (Exact, EMSCI & NiSCI questionnaires) and level of dyspnea level (mMRC) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  5. • Relationship between 24 hours symptoms (Exact, EMSCI & NiSCI questionnaires) and HRQoL (CAT) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  6. • Relationship between 24 hours symptoms (Exact, EMSCI & NiSCI questionnaires) and history of exacerbations (By GOLD definition) in last 12 months

    Measured: Day 1

  7. • Relationship between physical activity levels (YPAS questionnaire) and adherence to respiratory medication (SRSI for patients and inhalers technique assessed by investigators) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  8. • Relationship between physical activity levels (YPAS questionnaire) and disease classification (By GOLD recommendation) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  9. • Relationship between physical activity levels (YPAS questionnaire) and level of dyspnea level (mMRC) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  10. • Relationship between physical activity levels (YPAS questionnaire) and HRQoL (CAT) on day 1

    Measured: Day 1

  11. • Relationship between physical activity levels (YPAS questionnaire) and history of exacerbations (By GOLD definition) in last 12 months

    Measured: Day 1
