What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Education about particulate matter practice scoreBehavioural

    For the intervention group, specific guidance is given to the patient who might be exposure in environment with higher particulate matter concentration.

    • 1) Start air purifier
    • 2) Do not go out and make it to the minimum when absolutely necessary
    • 3) It is recommended to wear a mask when going out.
    • 4) The investigators recommend a lot of water, fresh fruit and vegetables.
    • 5) Prepare an inhaler and use it when symptoms get worse.

What is being measured

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

  1. Chage from life quality scale at 1 year

    Via average of total chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) score (total range 0-40, higher score means bad outcome, CAT score consisted of summed score about cough (0-5), phlegm (0-5), chest tightness (0-5), breathlessness (0-5), activites (0-5), confidence (0-5), sleep (0-5), energy (0-5))

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from pulmonary function test at 1 year

    Forced Expiratory Volume at 1 second level

    Measured: Up to 1 year
