What this trial studies

This observational, prospective, multicenter cohort study aims to include patients with severe and very severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) according to the GOLD 2024 guidelines. The study will enroll patients from various regions of Brazil, each with different risk factors and population characteristics, to gather comprehensive data on COPD exacerbation rates and disease progression. Participants will be followed for 12 months with on-site visits and tele-consults to monitor their condition and collect relevant clinical data.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed severe or very severe COPD.

Not a fit: Patients with advanced fibrosing interstitial lung disease, high-risk pulmonary hypertension, or active cancer may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the management and treatment of severe COPD in the Brazilian population.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific population in Brazil, similar observational studies have shown success in understanding COPD in diverse populations.
