Sleep breathing patterns could predict COPD recovery in hospital
NCT ID NCT07361744
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study tracks how breathing during sleep changes in 60 adults hospitalized for a sudden worsening of COPD. Using sleep recordings and a sensor under the mattress, researchers aim to describe recovery patterns. The goal is to find simple ways to monitor improvement and support safer discharge decisions.
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 help doctors better predict recovery and make safer discharge decisions for COPD patients hospitalized with a flare-up.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not testing a treatment. It may not lead to any direct changes in care, and results may not apply to all COPD patients.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are hospitalized for an acute exacerbation. Eligible participants are included within the first 24 hours of admission to an acute medical ward and are able to provide informed consent. All participants have COPD diagnosed by spirometry according to standard criteria and are admitted for management of an exacerbation not requiring invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation at the time of inclusion. Patients receiving long-term positive airway pressure therapy or home non-invasive ventilation are excluded. The study population reflects a real-life hospitalized COPD cohort, encompassing a range of disease severity, clinical trajectories, and comorbidities commonly observed during acute exacerbations. Participants are followed during hospitalization and up to six weeks after discharge to characterize changes in nocturnal ventilatory patterns during recovery.
