What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective randomized controlled trial evaluates whether a specialized "COPD flare-up clinic service" improves outcomes in patients following an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Patients presenting to the emergency department with AECOPD and discharged or hospitalized will be randomized 1:1 to either structured follow-up in a dedicated flare-up clinic or standard follow-up by scheduled telephone interviews. The researches hypothesize that structured follow-up in a specialized clinic will reduce recurrent exacerbations, optimize long-term COPD management, and improve patients' quality of life compared to standard care.
