The Role of Physical Activity for Acute Exacerbations of COPD

NCT03855670 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 42

Last updated 2022-03-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators plan to study the association between physical activity, malnutrition and sarcopenia and the occurrence of acute exacerbations of COPD / the evolution of the COPD assessment test (CAT) over 1 year in a telehealthcare cohort of patients with COPD. The investigators hypothesize that malnutrition and/or sarcopenia at baseline and a decline in the fat-free mass index over time is associated with an increased rate of acute exacerbations of COPD and an increased CAT score meaning a higher risk for mortality, morbidity and impairment of quality of life.
