Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to estimate the capacity of the auto-questionnaire of quality of life, VQ11, to follow the evolution of patients with COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in stable state (without exacerbation in the previous 6 weeks) (3 months +/-15 days) during the implementation of a LABD (Long-acting bronchodilator) treatment. The main objective is to compare the total Score of the VQ11 auto-questionnaire before and after LABD. A decrease of 5 points of the total score mimicking an improvement in the quality of life linked to health, specifically in the COPD.

Detailed description

Evaluation of the VQ11 auto-questionnaire of quality of life in pneumology investigation, during the implementation of a long-acting bronchodilator treatment of patients with COPD. Two visits per patient are planned: V1: After complete information and collection of the written consent, the pulmonologists ask the patients participating in the study to fill out the VQ11 questionnaire, 2 visual analogical scales concerning the dyspnoea and the physical activity, the short IPAQ version and the respiratory questionnaire of the Saint Georges hospital. RFE (respiratory functional exploration) is also realized during this medical exam. V2 (3 months after the treatment setup, at day90 ± 15): the pulmonologists ask the patients participating in the study to fill out the VQ11 questionnaire, 2 visual analogical scales and Likert scales concerning the dyspnoea and the physical activity, the short IPAQ version and the respiratory questionnaire of the Saint Georges hospital. RFE (respiratory functional exploration) is also realized during this medical exam. Inclusion period : 6 months; Study participation period / patient : 3 months; Complete study duration : 9 months

Interventions

OTHERVQ11 validation

Two visits per patient are planned: V1 and V2. For each visit, the pulmonologists ask the patients participating in the study to fill out the VQ11 questionnaire, which will be correlated to the other parameters (Likert scale, IPAQ, RFE, SGRQ,...) LABD treatment consist in β 2 agonists or anticholinergic drug.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VQ11 scoreV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)To compare changes of total Score of the VQ11 auto-questionnaire before and after LABD (decrease of 5 points of the total score mimicking an improvement in the quality of life linked to health, specifically in the COPD).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
RFEV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)Respiratory functional exploration (RFE) performed at rest (plethysmography) before and three months after LABD treatment initiation.
VQ11 sub-scoresV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the impact of an LABD treatment on patients with COPD before and three months after treatment initiation through the three sub-dimensions of the VQ11 questionnaire
Likert scalesV2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the evolution of dyspnoea and the daily activity by Likert scale.
VQ11 and visual analogical scales regarding dyspnoeaV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the dyspnoea by a dedicated visual analogical scale. Variations between the two visits will be analysed in correlation to VQ11 changes.
VQ11 and visual analogical scale regarding daily activityV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the daily activity by a dedicated visual analogical scale. Variations between the two visits will be analysed in correlation to VQ11 changes.
Bi-directional visual analogical scale regarding daily activityV2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the evolution of daily activity since the LABD initiation.
Saint George's Respiratory QuestionnaireV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the impact of an LABD treatment on patients with COPD before and three months after treatment initiation using the SGRQ change between the two visits.
Dyspnoea evolution assessed by mMRCV1 (at baseline), V2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the impact of the LABD treatment on dyspnoea of patients with COPD before and three months after treatment initiation through the change of the Modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale (mMRC).
Bi-directional visual analogical scale regarding dyspnoeaV2 (3 months after V1)To estimate the evolution of dyspnoea since the LABD initiation.
