简要总结
Background:
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it contributes to the development of many other serious diseases. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) often lead to hospitalization. Severe hospitalization-requiring AECOPD carries very high economic costs for the healthcare system, and personal costs for patients. Smoking cessation in COPD for the healthcare system, and personal costs for patients. Smoking cessation in COPD patients is known to improve survival and reduce the number of AECOPD. However, smoking cessation interventions in these patients have only been successful for consistent smoking abstinence in 12 months in approximately 15-20%. Thus, more effective interventions are needed for this patient group.
Aims:
The aim of this study is to determine, among people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whether a "high-intensive" smoking cessation intervention in comparison to a standard intervention can lead to permanent, >12 months, smoking cessation in a higher proportion.
Methods:
This study is a randomized trial in active smokers with COPD and who have lost less than 50% lung function. A total of 600 participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to either a standard treatment (guideline-based municipal smoking cessation programme, "low intensity" group), or an intervention group ("high-intensity" group), which consists of group sessions, telephone consultations, behavior design, hotline, "buddy-matching" (smoker matched with COPD patient who stopped). Both groups will receive pharmacological smoking cessation.
Discussion:
The potential benefit of this project is to prevent smoking-related exacerbations of COPD and thereby reduce logistics and costs of hospitalization and treatment of COPD. In addition, the project can potentially benefit from increasing the quality of life and longevity of COPD patients and reducing the risk of developing lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases.
详细描述
Hypothesis:
A "high-intensity" smoking cessation intervention is superior in leading to permanent (>12 months) smoking cessation in active smokers with COPD than does a standard, guideline-based municipal smoking cessation intervention.
Secondary hypothesis: The progression of COPD will be reduced in the "high intensity group", and this will result in limited loss of lung function, a reduced number of exacerbations of COPD, improved mental health and self-rated health.
Rationale:
Smoking cessation in COPD patients improves survival and reduces the number of exacerbations. Unfortunately, relatively few COPD patients are successful in permanently stopping to smoke, even with pharmacological help.

研究组 & 干预措施
High-intensity group
Will receive "high-intensity" intervention, which is a combination of pharmacological (varenicline) and behavioural support, described later.
干预措施: High-intensity smoking cessation intervention (Other)
Low-intensity group
Encouraged to quit smoking via own doctor and is prescribed varenicline.
干预措施: Low-intensity smoking cessation intervention (Drug)
