Brief Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease that is characterized by loss of lung function, leading to breathlessness, poor quality of life, loss in productivity, and increased mortality. The World Health Organization estimates that COPD will be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020, accounting for more than 7 million deaths annually. COPD patients frequently experience 'lung attacks', during which breathlessness, coughing, and sputum production dramatically increase, leading to urgent office visits, emergency admissions and hospitalizations. Lung attacks reduce patient quality of life and cost the Canadian health care system nearly $4 billion dollars each year in direct and indirect costs. Lung attacks can be effectively managed if they are identified and treated early, but symptoms of a lung attack often overlap with those of other common conditions such as heart failure, pneumonia and even influenza. Because there are no tests that can separate lung attacks from these conditions, doctors struggle to accurately diagnose lung attacks at an early stage when drugs are most effective. This can lead to a delayed or even incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This research will address this critical need. Our goal is to improve COPD patient care by developing new blood tests that will help identify patients who are in the early stages of a lung attack. Doctors will be able to use these tests to treat lung attacks at earlier stages than is currently possible. These blood tests will enable doctors to personalize management of COPD to meet the needs of the individual patient. Hypothesis: New biomarker blood tests can be used to better identify and manage patients with COPD.

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Keywords

Biomarkers; Genomics; Proteomics; Diagnostics; Prognostics

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Exacerbation

  Hospitalized and non-hospitalized exacerbations occurring within 1 year of hospital discharge from index hospitalization will be recorded. Non-hospitalized exacerbations will be defined by treatment with prednisone plus/minus antibiotics. Hospitalized exacerbations will be defined as a diagnosis of acute exacerbation of COPD at admission or at presentation to emergency.

  Within 1 year

Study Arms (2)

Exacerbation

Patients experiencing acute exacerbation of COPD.

Non-Exacerbation

COPD patients not experiencing acute exacerbation of COPD.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 19 Years - 95 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Exacerbation cohort: COPD patients who present in emergency or are admitted to Vancouver General Hospital or St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver for a COPD exacerbation are approached for participation in the study. Non-exacerbation cohort: COPD patients who are seen in the hospital COPD clinic and are not experiencing an exacerbation are approached for participation in the study.

You may qualify if:

• years of age or older
• diagnosis of COPD
• patients admitted to the hospital for a COPD exacerbation OR attending the COPD clinic and not experiencing a COPD exacerbation

You may not qualify if:

• under 19 years of age
• patients seen in the COPD clinic who are experiencing an exacerbation
