Studying how frailty affects outcomes in COPD
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether frailty (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes the risk of heart-related events and death in people with COPD. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk and tailor care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have COPD for at least 1 year

- You have a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years
- You can clearly understand and sign the study consent form

This study looks at how frailty affects the course of chronic diseases and how chronic diseases affect frailty. It may help understand aging-related conditions better.
This study looks at how different factors—like health, mental well-being, and social support—work together to predict frailty in older adults. The goal is to better understand frailty in men and women, which may help doctors provide more personalized care.
This trial looks at “frailty,” meaning reduced strength and resilience, in older adults with coronary artery disease who are getting heart care. It may help doctors better understand which patients are more at risk and how care decisions could be improved.
This study looks at people with COPD or ILD who also show signs of frailty. It aims to understand how frailty and muscle loss (sarcopenia) affect their care and use of medical resources over time.
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
This study looks at how frailty (overall weakness and decline) affects recovery in older adults who come to the emergency room with pneumonia. The goal is to understand what outcomes patients can expect based on their frailty level.
