Home telemonitoring and quality of life in stable, optimised chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: We conducted a six-month randomised controlled trial of home telemonitoring for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total of 40 stable patients with moderate to severe COPD who had completed pulmonary rehabilitation took part. They were randomised to receive standard care (controls) or standard care plus home telemonitoring (intervention). During the monitoring period, patients in the telemonitoring group recorded their symptoms and physical observations twice daily. The data were tra… Show more

“…In particular, it can be noticed that the benefit of telemedicine interventions were at best small in studies including education on self-care [13,16] or the patients were already followed in the center in which the experiment took place [14]. Interestingly, when education on self-care was offered only to telemedicine group, the reduction of hospitalizations in the intervention group was more evident [10,11].…”

“…Five studies used the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). A statistically and clinically (>= 4 points) significant improvement in SGRQ score was reported only by Koff et al Two trials documented a non-statistically significant change >= 4 points in SGRQ in telemonitoring group compared with control group [18,21] and four studies did not show differences in quality of life between groups [11,13,14,16].…”
