Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To detect a reduction in the rate of hospitalisations due to COPD exacerbations

    The mean number of COPD related hospitalisations per patient per year for patients who are receiving the digital service in the study will be compared to the rate of COPD related hospitalisations in patients receiving current best care alone over a twelve period.

    Analysed over a twelve month timeframe

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • To detect a reduction in the duration of hospitalisations due to COPD exacerbations.

    12 months

  • To detect a reduction in the number of exacerbations requiring treament with antibiotics and or systemic steriods

    12 months

  • To detect an improvement in patients own perceived health status, as assessed by St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire-C

    12 months

Other Outcomes (3)

  • To detect a difference in the use/prescribing of maintenance therapy

    12 months

  • To detect a difference in the use/prescribing of reliever therapy

    12 months

  • To assess patinet engagement in the use of the digital service

    12 months

Study Arms (2)
