Not Applicable
Conditions
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Other: Center respiratory rehabilitation
Registration Number
NCT03453606
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Lille
Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to establish the non-inferiority of home-based respiratory rehabilitation compared to respiratory rehabilitation in center in terms of exercise tolerance as evaluated by the 6 minutes Stepper test..

This trial will also 1°) evaluate the Medico-economic aspects of the home-based Respiratory rehabilitation versus respiratory Rehabilitation in center; 2°) analyse the patient preferences between home-based respiratory rehabilitation and respiratory rehabilitation in center and 3°) Compare home-based respiratory rehabilitation vs respiratory rehabilitation in center in terms of dyspnea, quality of life, anxiety and depression.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of the clinical and medico-economic effectiveness of center-based RR versus home-based RR in the departments of Nord and Pas de Calais in France. All COPD patients eligible for RR and willing to participate in the study will be followed.

Patient preferences will be evaluated at inclusion. After presentation of both RR modalities, patients expressing a strong preference for one or other of the terms will be taken care of according to their wishes. Indifferent patients between the two RR modalities will be randomized.

This design is justified in the light of three cases:

* It is impossible to evaluate blind intervention,

* The effectiveness of RR depends on patient preferences,

* Patients' adherence to the protocol is facilitated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline the 6 minutes Stepper test at 2 monthsAt 2 months

The 6 minutes stepper test (ST6), performed on a Stepper allows to analyze the number of strokes (or steps) performed in 6 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients expressing a preference marked for home-based respiratory rehabilitation or respiratory rehabilitation in centerBaseline
Change from baseline the 6 minutes Stepper test at 6 and 12 monthsat 6 months, at12 months

The 6 minutes stepper test (ST6), performed on a Stepper allows to analyze the number of strokes (or steps) performed in 6 minutes

Cost of interventions: respiratory rehabilitation in center or at homeAt 12 months
Change from Baseline COPD Assessment Test (CAT) at 2,6,12 monthsbaseline, after RR (2 months); 6 months and12 months

The COPD assessment test (CAT) is a short questionnaire initially intended for assess quality of life and clinical impact of COPD

Change from Baseline Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnea Scale at 2,6,12 monthsbaseline, after RR (2 months); 6 months and12 months

The scale measures a person's limitation base on a scale of 0-4 and uses the final value to determine how much disability is caused by shortness of breath.Five-option grading system called the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnea Scale.

Change from Baseline Anxiety and Depression (HAD) at 2,6,12 monthsBaseline, after RR (2 months); 6 months and12 months

To determine the levels of anxiety and depression that a COPD patients are experiencing

EPICES scorebaseline

EPICES score (Assessment of the precariousness and health inequalities in the Health Examination Centers, French) is an individual indicator of precariousness

,Self-administered questionnaire,quantify the level of social vulnerability and precariousness. It ranges from zero (no vulnerability) to 100 (maximum vunerability)
