Primary Health Management for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Sponsor: China-Japan Friendship Hospital
Summary
The core objective of the "Pilot Project for the Primary Health Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)" is to explore a primary health management model and service standards that are suitable for COPD patients and aligned with grassroots realities. It also aims to enhance the capability of primary healthcare institutions in the prevention and management of chronic respiratory diseases. The primary outcomes are to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of COPD Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) intervention in communities in China. Participants are already receiving intervention B, "Usual primary health care," as part of their regular medical care under the current health policy. Researchers will compare intervention A, which is"the EPHS for COPD", with intervention B to determine if intervention A performs better in COPD management.

Interventions
The essential public health service（EPHS）for COPD
Each group plans to recruit 3,000 participants. For the intervention group, the community-based management includes adding COPD management-related content to the primary public health service. This includes: Providing at least four follow-ups during the project at the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th months. During each follow-up, patients must complete the "COPD Patient Follow-up Questionnaire" and receive oral health education and targeted clinical advice from the general practitioner (GP). In addition, the GPs must also distribute educational booklets and materials, record symptom assessment results and acute exacerbation situations, and provide targeted clinical advice and clinical decisions to the COPD patients according to the checklist of Chinese guideline for management of COPD in primary care. At the baseline and the last follow-up, patients need to undergo a routine physical examination, pulmonary function test, and bronchodilator test at their community health centers
