Using computer prediction to reduce COPD complications
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses information from past hospital discharge records and breathing test results to predict who with COPD may have worse health outcomes later. It may help future COPD care by identifying higher-risk patients earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 40 or older
- Have been discharged from the hospital between 2016 and 2022
- Your discharge diagnosis must be coded as COPD based on your primary diagnosis
- If you have a breathing test (spirometry), at least one test must show a post or pre FEV1/FVC ratio under 0.7
- Your hospital admission should not be for a cause other than COPD

This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
This study tests a non-contact, at-a-distance monitoring system to help detect COPD flare-ups early. If you’ve had flare-ups before, it may help track changes sooner and support better care decisions.
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
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.
