Objective The 12-item Partners in Health scale (PIH) was developed Australia to measure self-management behaviour and knowledge patients with chronic diseases, has undergone several changes. Our aim assess the construct validity reliability of latest PIH version Dutch COPD patients. Methods 12 items PIH, scored on a self-rated 9-point Likert scale, are used calculate total subscale scores (knowledge; coping; recognition management symptoms; adherence treatment). We forward-backward...
Background: Poor adherence to inhaled medications in COPD patients seems be associated with an increased risk of death and hospitalization. Knowing the determinants nonadherence is important for creating interventions improve adherence. Objectives: To identify disease-specific health-related quality life (HRQoL) factors, corticosteroids (ICS) tiotropium patients. Methods: Adherence 795 was recorded over 3 years deemed optimal at >75%–≤125%, suboptimal ≥50%–<75%, poor <50% (underuse) or >125%...
Due to shared symptoms, acute heart failure (AHF) is difficult differentiate from an exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). This systematic review aimed identify markers that can diagnose AHF underlying dyspnea in patients with presenting at the hospital.
The effectiveness of inhaled medications in asthma and COPD is significantly impacted by inhalation errors. Feedback mechanisms, built into the design inhaler might reduce number critical This study compares errors, preferences, ease use two dry powder inhalers, Nexthaler, Turbuhaler.
The 12-item Partner in Health (PIH) scale was developed Australia to measure self-management behaviour and knowledge patients with chronic diseases. has undergone several changes since first published. Our study aim validate the latest PIH Dutch COPD patients. 12 items of are scored on a self-rated 9-point Likert (range: 0-8; higher scores indicate better self-management), providing total subscale (knowledge, coping, recognition management functions, adherence treatment).We used...
<b>Background:</b> Some patients hospitalized on the pulmonary ward due to an acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ACOPD) will receive non-invasive ventilation (NIV) additional regular treatment. Another group with ACOPD needs be treated in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We studied whether there was a difference 1-year mortality between these groups. <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective study performed 2012. The 1-year-mortality analyzed using multivariate Cox proportional...
<b>Introduction:</b> Thus far, patients9 experiences during and after an ICU admission received little attention in COPD research. This qualitative study explored of patients with due to exacerbation, its impact on QOL. Previous quantitative studies revealed a poor quality life. <b>Methods:</b> Data were obtained from in-depth interviews, using semi-structured interview scheme based the Hierarchical Quality Life Model. Eight admitted exacerbation period 1 September 2012 January 2014 5...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent chronic partly characterised by the occurrence of acute exacerbations (AECOPD). The need for hospital admissions COPD could theoretically be decreased through timely and appropriate outpatient care or self-management. aim this study to explore compare patients' health providers' (HCP) perspectives on potential preventability hospitalisations identify strategies prevent unnecessary hospitalisations.Semi-structured interviews...
