Patients will be randomised to the intervention arm or usual care group.\n\nSetting: Tertiary University affiliated Hospital.\n\nInterventions:\n\nThe Intervention group will receive a comprehensive programme which involves inputs from doctors, respiratory nurses and physiotherapists, providing an individualized care plan for each subject. The components in the programme will include optimization of medications, specialist physician follow up, nursing support in education, and physiotherapist support for pulmonary rehabilitation. Patients in the intervention group will also receive monthly telephone calls by a respiratory nurse for a period of 1 year to assess their conditions and answer their queries. Patients will also be followed up in the respiratory clinic by respiratory specialist once every 3 months for 1 year.\n\nThe control group will be managed as the usual care. The discharging physician will determine the patients' medication and follow up as in normal practice.\n\nAll patients will be asked to return for assessments (spirometry, 6 minute walk test, questionnaires on the severity of dyspnoea and quality of life) at baseline and 12 months\n\nMain outcome measures: The primary endpoint is the hospital readmission rate and the secondary endpoints are the quality of life, mortality, lung function and exercise capacity of the patients."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '90 Years', 'minimumAge': '40 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients who are admitted to the Prince of Wales Hospital with AECOPD will be screened for this study.\n* Patients with age over 40 years\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with asthma\n* Patients unable to provide informed consent'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01108835', 'briefTitle': 'A Comprehensive Care Programme for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Chinese University of Hong Kong'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Comprehensive Care Programme for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Resp/Ko/2010/001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'comprehensive care programme', 'description': 'Comprehensive care involving multidisciplinary input.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Comprehensive care programme']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Control group', 'description': 'Control arm with usual care'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Comprehensive care programme', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Intervention group:\n\n* Patients will be interviewed by a respiratory nurse and given education in 1-2 sessions\n* Physiotherapist assessment and training (individualized physical training programme to perform at home or a short course out-patient pulmonary rehabilitation)\n* Respiratory physician assessment and optimization of treatment\n* Patients will also be taught about a personalized action plan by the physician and respiratory nurse.\n* Subsequent intervention: Patients will receive monthly telephone calls by a respiratory nurse for a period of 1 year to assess their conditions and also answer their queries.', 'armGroupLabels': ['comprehensive care programme']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Hong Kong', 'country': 'Hong Kong', 'facility': 'The Chinese University of Hong Kong', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 22.27832, 'lon': 114.17469}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'David S Hui, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'Chinese University of Hong Kong'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Chinese University of Hong Kong', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Honorary Associate Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Fanny W.S.
