- Original description
The trial investigates and describes the prevalence of COPD among socially vulnerable individuals who come in contact with a mobile clinic and investigates the effect of opportunistic screening for COPD in these vulnerable persons. The study population is individuals who come in contact with a mobile clinic, that visits home shelters, open drugs scenes etc. in the Capital Region of Denmark during the inclusion period, and monitor them for up to 1 year in order to investigate variables that are significant in terms of the patients' treatment, hospitalizations, and mortality in relation to COPD. Our hypothesis is that there will be a higher incidence of COPD among socially vulnerable individuals who come in contact with the mobile clinic than in the general population.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Study of the Incidence and Treatment of Impaired Lung Function Among Socially Vulnerable Individuals at a Street Level
The trial investigates and describes the prevalence of COPD among socially vulnerable individuals who come in contact with a mobile clinic and investigates the effect of opportunistic screening for COPD in these vulnerable persons.
