Interventions
Other: Usual site management
Other: Disease Management
Registration Number
NCT01241526
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to evaluate a Home-Based Disease Management program specifically developed for patients with Gold III/IV COPD.

By improving disease knowledge, awareness of significant clinical deterioration and self-management skills for patients, this Home-Based COPD Management Program is expected to reduce the severity of exacerbations, the need for emergency hospitalisations, thus demonstrating the efficacy and the cost effectiveness of this intervention.
