Social Media-based Bundle Care of AECOPD Patients.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) is an incompletely reversible and progressive pulmonary disease characterized by airflow restriction, which is the third leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 6% of all deaths worldwide. Acute exacerbation (AE) of COPD can accelerate the decline of lung function, worsening pulmonary symptoms, and increase the risk of death in patients. Health education, inhaled technical guidance training, individual self-management, psychological counseling, home oxygen therapy, nutritional support, and other comprehensive interventions can help improve the lung function of COPD patients, alleviate clinical symptoms, improve the quality of life. While a number of COPD applications have been developed, few provide comprehensive assessment and guidance for these kinds of patients. Therefore, the investigators aim to establish a bundle care mode based on the mode of "hospital-home-community-patient", clarify the impact of the management on prognosis, and evaluate the effect of mobile medical-assisted bundle management mode. In this randomized controlled trial(RCT), AECOPD patients will be divided into interventional or control groups randomly. Patients in the interventional group will receive mobile medication and standard of care at the same time (bundle care mode). While patients in the control group will receive standard of care only (traditional management mode). This study will be conducted to compare the effects of traditional and bundle care modes, and to formulate the implementation path and specifications of bundle care for AECOPD patients after discharge in China.

Experimental: Interventional group Participants will be given mobile medical and bundle care |
Other: Mobile Medical and bundle management
Based on the current follow-up management platform of respiratory disease, the WeChat official account will be designed and used to provide health education for patients, such as smoking cessation, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, etc., and monitor some physiological indicators (such as body temperature, weight, the score of mMRC, etc.) and guide patients to standardize medication and pulmonary rehabilitation.

Other: Mobile Medical and standard of care
Based on the mobile medical, participants will receive advice on standard medication only.

Collected within one year after discharge. FEV1/FEV, FEV1 %pre,FVC, DLCO and RV/TLC etc will be collected.
- The changes of arterial blood gas analysis [One year]
Collected within one year after discharge. PaO2, PaCO2, BE, HCO3-, Lac, K+, Na+, Glu etc will be collected.
- The changes of percent of eosinophil count [One year]
Collected within one year after discharge
- Average annual medical cost [One year]
Collected within one year after discharge
- The types and proportions of adverse events occurred during using WeChat official account. [One year]
Collected within one year after discharge
- Compliance index [One year]
It includes drug treatment compliance, mastery of drug inhalation skills, smoking cessation, improvement of nutritional status, changes of mental health status, compliance and mastery of lung rehabilitation exercise, and patients' cognitive level of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
