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 study tests a software algorithm that uses your health data to predict if you might have a COPD exacerbation (flare-up) within 60 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to catch problems early and help you stay healthier.
This trial tests if people with COPD can use a home monitoring system after a flare-up to help doctors track their recovery. It aims to reduce hospital visits and improve care.
This study looks at how a COPD flare-up might affect the heart in people who haven't had a heart attack or known heart muscle damage before. It uses a simple heart ultrasound to check for stress-related changes.
This study looks at people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up (“exacerbation”). It may help improve how flare-ups are treated because participants need to receive the usual rescue medicines like steroids and/or antibiotics and then follow a study plan.
This study is for people with COPD who go to the emergency room for a moderate or severe flare-up. It looks at how they are doing after their visit and whether their current inhaler treatment is working well.
