Predicting COPD flare-up risk in adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at factors that can predict when chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will flare up. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk sooner and tailor care to prevent flare-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been clinically diagnosed with COPD
- You are at least 40 years old
- You can complete breathing tests called spirometry
- You do not have asthma
- You do not have certain other lung or heart problems (like lung cancer, tuberculosis after-effects, or major bronchiectasis)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well patients with COPD recover after an acute flare-up, and what symptoms or traits are most common. It aims to improve treatment and support for future patients.
This trial studies cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk in people who have stable COPD or a recent worsening of COPD. It may help researchers understand which risks to monitor during and after a COPD flare and how to prevent complications.
This study looks back at hospital records to see how doctors chose breathing support for people with COPD flare-ups and how those choices worked out. It could help improve care for future patients with COPD.
This study follows people with COPD flare-ups (sudden worsening of breathing) to better understand what happens and what might help. You may be asked for consent and lung-function tests if you meet the breathing and age requirements.
This study tests a software program that uses machine learning to predict if you might have a COPD flare-up or get worse within 60 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to help doctors provide better follow-up care and reduce emergency visits.
This study tests whether a wearable device and a smartphone app can predict when your COPD will flare up. It uses AI to spot early warning signs, so you might get help sooner.
