About this study

COPD is the fourth cause of death worldwide and it is expected to be the third in 2020.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has a positive impact in reducing mortality related to chronic respiratory failure in stable patients with COPD. Moreover, the addition of home NIV to home oxygen therapy reduces hospital admissions and improves patients outcomes.

Patients monitoring is crucial. It is increasingly recognized the potential of telemedicine in reducing morbidity and mortality, as well as healthcare utilisation and its associated costs. In particular, home telemonitoring (TM)- a technology measuring patients'clinical parameters and symptoms at home and allowing communication between healthcare professionals and patients over distance- has gained much attention. However, despite a growing body of evidence for TM in the management of COPD and other chronic diseases, the benefit of telemonitoring for Home mechanical ventilation concerning clinical and economic outcomes remains to be clearly demonstrated.

The study aims to assess the impact that telemonitoring would have NIV efficacy, patient quality of life and satisfaction, through a prospective randomized study.The primary endpoint is the time for appropriate adaptation and therapy efficacy, defined as average SatO2 to 90% in 24h oximetry.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized study, with 2 branches.

The primary endpoint is the time for appropriate adaptation and therapy efficacy, defined as average SatO2 to 90% in 24h oximetry.

Patients with COPD (n=100) based in Gold 2017. Patients with stable COPD and Pa CO2 > 52 mmHg in blood gases. These patients might have a polygraph or polysomnographic sleep study AHI/RDI < 15/h

  1. 1st hospital visit - D0- Inclusion criteria Confirmation; Randomization to 2 groups (1 - telemonitoring group (TM group) with the equipment Lumis 150, Stellar 150 or ventilator Astral 150 with AirView system; 2 - conventional monitoring group (CM group); Mode and settings titration will be selected according to patients needs and tolerance; Education and adaptation of the patient to VNI and optimize ventilation.
  2. 2nd home healthcare professionals visit (D 1M)-
  3. 3th hospital visit- D 3M- Compliance and ventilation effectiveness assessment (24 oximetry and ventilator data analysis); Settings adjustment if required;
  4. 4th hospital visit - D 6M- Compliance and ventilation effectiveness assessment (24 oximetry and ventilator data analysis) ; Settings adjustment if required

What is being measured

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

  1. Time for appropriate adaptation and therapy efficacy

    Calculate the time required to achieve a 4-hour-day adherence on 70% of the days and a sato2 <90% in less than 10% of the time in 24-hour oximetry.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of readmissions for COPD acute exacerbations and mortality

    Calculate the hospital readmission rate by COPD acute exacerbations and mortality for 1 year and compare these rates between the 2 intervention groups (conventional monitoring and telemonitoring)

    Measured: One year
