Prospective Dynamic Cohort Study of Phenotypic Profiles in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Overview

This prospective, multicenter, real-world observational cohort study will describe phenotypic profiles, patient characteristics, and treatments in adults with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The profiles observed in the current cohort will be compared with those of patients recruited between 2005 and 2018 in the previous COPD-BPCO 1 cohort. Patients will be followed for at least 3 years as part of routine care, with no study-specific visit or treatment.

COPD is a heterogeneous disease, and patient characteristics may be associated with prognosis and treatment response. The previous Initiative BPCO cohort recruited 1,720 subjects between 2005 and 2018 and identified clinically relevant COPD phenotypes, including subgroups associated with mortality risk. Because diagnostic strategies, risk factors, comorbidity management, and COPD treatments have evolved, this new prospective dynamic cohort will assess whether current COPD phenotypes differ from those previously identified and whether classification and regression tree (CART) algorithms developed in the previous cohort remain applicable. Data will be collected during routine care from hospital pulmonology centers in France. Baseline and follow-up data may include demographics, risk factors, comorbidities, usual treatments, patient-reported questionnaires, pulmonary function, arterial blood gases, 6-minute walk test, imaging, biology results, exacerbations, and mortality status.
