Occurrence of Potential Bacterial and Viral Pathogens in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and During Acute Exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD), in Asia Pacific
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Sputum and blood sampling for Respiratory Disorders. Completed, enrolled 197 participants across 19 sites in 4 countries.
Detailed Summary
Since the infectious aetiology of AECOPD has been suggested to vary according to geographical region, the primary purpose of this study (which will be conducted in several countries in Asia Pacific) is to evaluate the occurrence of bacterial and viral pathogens in the sputum of stable COPD patients and at the time of AECOPD. Given the increasing and projected burden of COPD in the Asia Pacific region, this study will also evaluate the frequency, severity and duration of AECOPD, as well as the impact of AECOPD on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), healthcare utilisation and lung function.
