COPD surgery risk: could a 10-Question test save lives?
NCT ID NCT07087626
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a short questionnaire called the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) can help predict breathing complications during and after surgery in people with COPD. Researchers will follow 120 patients aged 40-70 having elective surgery. They will compare those with low versus high CAT scores to see if higher scores mean more risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a simple tool to better plan anesthesia and care for COPD patients before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 120 people. The questionnaire may not reliably predict complications in all patients or settings.
