About this study

Official title: Validating the Use of Frailty Measurements to Predict Care Expectations and Deteriorations in Quality of Life Among People With COPD: A Prospective Cohort Study

The aim of this research program is to validate frailty measurements as a risk stratification tool to predict deteriorations in patient-reported outcomes, to gain a better understanding of patient preferences for care within varying degrees of frailty, and to assess differences in frailty measurement between patients and their clinicians.

This work will provide a foundation in the development of customized interventions for people with COPD and varying degrees of frailty, with the goal of improving quality of life and optimizing health system service delivery for patients and their care givers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory Health Related Quality of Life

    measured by the validated short version of St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (not a scale).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Burden of symptoms - COPD Assessment

    measured with the COPD Assessment Test where 0 means no symptoms and 5 means severe symptoms of COPD.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Burden of symptoms - Dyspnea

    measured with the modified Medical Research Council scales. Measured on a scale of 0-4 where 0 means not breathless and 4 is too breathless.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Psycho-social well being - Anxiety

    measured with the validated Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. GAD-7 results vary between 0 and 21, the higher the score, the more anxiety.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Psycho-social well being - Depression

    measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 scales. PHQ8 results vary between 0 and 24, where the higher the number, more severe is the persons' level of depression.

    Measured: 12 months
