Trial summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways and lungs that develops against harmful particles or gases with exacerbations.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Bronchiectasis on the Exacerbation and Mortality of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways and lungs that develops against harmful particles or gases with exacerbations. Coexistence of bronchiectasis with COPD may lead to worsening of the functional parameters as well as alteration of the microbiological pattern in exacerbations and may negatively affect the exacerbation result parameters.

Read the detailed description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways and lungs that develops against harmful particles or gases with exacerbations. COPD exacerbations are characterized by worsening of dyspnea, coughing and expectoration. Exacerbations requiring hospitalization are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in COPD. Bronchiectasis is the irreversible extension of the bronchi. Usually follows with chronic sputum cough, airway obstruction and recurrent infection episodes. The association of bronchiectasis and COPD has long been known and its incidence is in the range of 30-50%. Coexistence of bronchiectasis with COPD may lead to worsening of the functional parameters as well as alteration of the microbiological pattern in exacerbations and may negatively affect the exacerbation result parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Ministry of Health, Turkey.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Charlson Comorbidity Index (time frame: 1 hour). 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 17 May 2019.
