Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a longitudinal study of following chronic pulmonary disease patients to observe and predict the clinical outcomes of these patients.
Detailed description
In patients with chronic pulmonary disease, impaired pulmonary function and limited exercise capacity, is a complex clinical syndrome with a wide range of underlying causes, which may result in worse quality of life and high economic burden. This is a longitudinal study of following chronic pulmonary disease patients, recording the clinical, pathophysiology, and psychological parameters, to observe and predict the clinical outcomes of these patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of acute exacerbations | 1 year | The rate of exacerbations within 1 year of these patients will be tracked. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Survival | 1 year | The rate of survival within 1 year of these patients will be tracked. |
| Forced expiratory volume in 1 second | 1 year | Forced expiratory volume in 1 second is a marker used to measure lung function and can help you monitor your lung diseases over time. |
| Health related quality of life: questionnaires | 1 year | Using questionnaires to reflect the patients' health related quality of life. The questionnaires include: 1. SF-36 (scores range between 0 and 100 and higher scores are attributed to better quality of life.) 2. St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (scores range between 0 and 100 and higher scores are attributed to worse quality of life.) 3. Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Questionnaire (scores range between 0 and 100 and higher scores are attributed to better quality of life.) |
| 6-minute walk test | 1 year | The 6-minute walk test plays a key role in evaluating functional exercise capacity, assessing prognosis and evaluating response to treatment across a wide range of respiratory diseases. |
