About this study

Official title: Investigation of Peripheral Muscle Oxygenation at Rest and Movement in Hospitalized Patients in Severe Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Comparison With Stable Period

The aim of our study is to examine the Peripheral Muscle Oxygenations at rest and in motion on the 2nd day of hospitalized patients and before discharge in Severe Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and to compare the results in the hospital periods by repeating the tests in the stable periods of the patients 1 month after discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Muscle oxygenation

    The muscle oxygen monitor is a lightweight (42 g) and small (dimensions: 61 × 44 × 21 mm) device that measures regional blood flow and oxygenation by placing it on the skin non-invasively with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The device, which has data collection and telemetric features, also allows O 2 measurement in non-laboratory environments and field-based research.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. 1 minute sit and stand test

    The test aims to assess your exercise capacity and leg muscle strength. The movement required is to get up from this chair with the legs straight and sit back continuing the repetitions as fast as possible within one minute.

    The 1-minute STS test was performed with a chair of standard height of 46 cm without armrests. The patient was ensured to be seated upright on the chair positioned against a wall. The patient sat with the knees and hips flexed to 90°, feet placed flat on the floor hip-width apart, and the hands placed on the hips. Every get up from one's chair was validated to check if a complete sit-to-stand-to-sit sequence was achieved.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale:

    Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale will be used to assess the severity of dyspnea. The severity of dyspnea during activities of daily living is graded from 0 to 4 on the Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. COPD Assessment Test (CAT)

    The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is a new scoring system for COPD patients, which provides a simple method for assessing the impact of COPD on the patient's health. Range of CAT scores from 0-40.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Charlson Comorbidity Index

    The Charlson Comorbidity Index was first developed in 1987 by Mary Charlson and colleagues as a weighted index to predict risk of death within 1 year of hospitalization for patients with specific comorbid conditions. Nineteen conditions were included in the index. The total score in the CCI is derived by summing the assigned weights of all comorbid conditions presented by the client. Higher scores indicate a more severe condition and consequently, a worse prognosis.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation, run by Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 13 Mar 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

Muscle oxygenation (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 13 Mar 2025.
