Inflammometry in Stable COPD; A Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT)

慢性阻塞性肺病是一种常见的疾病，与许多对生活质量产生负面影响的临床后果相关。尽管目前已有治疗，慢性阻塞性肺病的疾病负担仍然很高。迫切需要改善COPD的管理，我们建议针对气道和全身炎症的个性化管理将做到这一点。本研究将研究靶向抗炎治疗对COPD患者的影响，并将研究简单血液检查在评估和管理COPD中的作用。

COPD is a common condition associated with many clinical consequences that negatively impact on quality of life. The burden of illness from COPD remains high despite current treatment. There is an urgent need to improve management of COPD and we propose that individualized management targeted to airway and systemic inflammation will do this. This study will examine the effect of targeted anti-inflammatory treatment in patients with COPD and will examine the role of a simple blood test to assess and manage COPD.
