Prediction of clinical outcomes in COPD from home monitoring of lung function variability [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Cindy Thamrin (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Gregory King

Brief description Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects close to 30% of the elderly and is the fourth leading cause of male deaths in Australia. There are currently no objective ways to assess disease status and predict future risk of deterioration. We aim to apply novel, sophisticated analysis methods to data from daily home telemonitoring, in order to describe the variability of disease over time and predict risk of exacerbations and quality of life.
