About this study

Official title: Pilot Project for the Primary Health Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The core objective of the "Pilot Project for the Primary Health Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)" is to explore a primary health management model and service standards that are suitable for COPD patients and aligned with grassroots realities. It also aims to enhance the capability of primary healthcare institutions in the prevention and management of chronic respiratory diseases. The primary outcomes are to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of COPD Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) intervention in communities in China.

Participants are already receiving intervention B, "Usual primary health care," as part of their regular medical care under the current health policy. Researchers will compare intervention A, which is"the EPHS for COPD", with intervention B to determine if intervention A performs better in COPD management.

What participants receive

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

  • The essential public health service(EPHS)for COPDOther

    Each group plans to recruit 3,000 participants. For the intervention group, the community-based management includes adding COPD management-related content to the primary public health service. This includes: Providing at least four follow-ups during the project at the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th months. During each follow-up, patients must complete the "COPD Patient Follow-up Questionnaire" and receive oral health education and targeted clinical advice from the general practitioner (GP). In addition, the GPs must also distribute educational booklets and materials, record symptom assessment results and acute exacerbation situations, and provide targeted clinical advice and clinical decisions to the COPD patients according to the checklist of Chinese guideline for management of COPD in primary care. At the baseline and the last follow-up, patients need to undergo a routine physical examination, pulmonary function test, and bronchodilator test at their community health centers

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute exacerbation frequency

    The number of exacerbations occurred

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Self-rated Quality of Life

    Quality of life measured by the EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels) questionnaire. It consists of two parts:

    Descriptive System: This includes five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has five levels, ranging from no problems to extreme problems.

    Visual Analog Scale (VAS): This is a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst possible health state and 100 represents the best possible health state.

    Scores from the descriptive system can be combined into a single health index value, while the VAS provides an immediate self-assessment of the respondent's health status. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in lung function

    Decline in forced expiratory rate in one second (FEV1) before use of bronchodilator.

    Measured: 6 months 12 months

  2. Degree of dyspnea (daily activity)

    Measured by Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Questionnaire Minimum Value: 0 (no dyspnea) Maximum Value: 4 (severe dyspnea) It specifically assesses dyspnea based on the activity level at which shortness of breath occurs, ranging from 0 to 4. A score of 4 indicates that the patient experiences dyspnea with minimal activity, representing the most severe breathlessness.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Oxygen desaturation

    SpO2 measured by a pulse oximeter.

    Measured: 12 months
