  Purpose

The aim of this prospective case-control study is to investigate the prevalence, severity and incidence of systemic consequences in newly detected patients with mild and moderate Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Special attention will be paid to skeletal muscle dysfunction and physical inactivity as these factors are, together with smoking, potentially modifiable.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Prevalence of risk factors to develop comorbidities (vascular dysfunction, osteoporosis, muscle wasting and metabolic syndrome) [ Time Frame: baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Common risk factors: smoking, copd, physical inactivity (steps (per day)and moderate intense PA (min/day)and systemic inflammation (CRP, fibrinogen, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha). Specific risk factors: vascular (atherosclerosis (mean IMT carotid arteries), arterial stenosis (ankle brachial index) and arterial stiffness (brachial ankle pulse wave velocity)), bone (osteopenia: T-score < -1 at lumbar spine/femoral neck/total femur), muscle(fatfree mass index < 15/16(female/male) and respiratory/peripheral muscle weakness; < 80%predicted), metabolic (syndrome): definition by AHA

  • Incidence and worsening of risk factors to develop comorbidities (vascular dysfunction, osteoporosis, muscle wasting and metabolic syndrome) [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Common risk factors: smoking, copd, physical inactivity (steps (per day)and moderate intense PA (min/day)and systemic inflammation (CRP, fibrinogen, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha). Specific risk factors: vascular (atherosclerosis (mean IMT carotid arteries), arterial stenosis (ankle brachial index) and arterial stiffness (brachial ankle pulse wave velocity)), bone (osteopenia: T-score < -1 at lumbar spine/femoral neck/total femur), muscle(fatfree mass index < 15/16(female/male) and respiratory/peripheral muscle weakness; < 80%predicted), metabolic (syndrome): definition by AHA


Estimated Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: June 2009
Groups/Cohorts
patients with COPD
patients who were defined as COPD, based on post-bronchodilator spirometry (GOLD criteria). Patients will have at least 10 pack years
smoking controls
patients with at least 10 pack years who have no COPD (based on post-bronchodilator spirometry)
non-smoking controls
patients with < 1 pack year who have no COPD (based on post-bronchodilator spirometry)

Detailed Description:

Three groups will be included in this study:

  • Patients with COPD (cases)
  • Patients with smoking history but no COPD (smoking controls)
  • Patients with no smoking history and no COPD (non-smoking controls)

An extensive test battery will be performed at baseline and after 3 years:

Clinical assessment (height, weight and blood pressure)*

Complete pulmonary function ((post-bronchodilator)spirometry + diffusion)*

Sputum Induction

Fasting venous blood sample (fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammatory markers, creatinine, NT pro BNP, hemoglobin, testosterone, vitamin D)

Vascular screening (arterial stiffness - arterial stenosis - CIMT)

Muscle force (peripheral + respiratory)*

Functional exercise capacity (6 MWT)**

Maximal exercise capacity (incremental cycle test)**

Dexa scan (osteoporosis - body composition)

Spiral CT scan of the chest

RX thorax - RX lumbar

Questionnaires (MRC, CCQ, SF-36, EQ5D, HADS, Exacerbation, CATZ)**

Physical activity monitoring (sensewear armband)*

* test will be repeated every 6 months

** test will be repeated every year
