Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Rationale:
Previous research suggests that the cognitive functions of COPD patients may be impaired. However, results of previous research are disputable. To date, remains unclear which clinical characteristics are related to cognitive functioning in COPD patients and whether and to what extent cognitive functioning is related to daily functioning, health status and the outcome of pulmonary rehabilitation.
Objective:
To determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment in COPD patients and to look for clinical characteristics of COPD patients with cognitive impairment. To study the influence of cognitive functioning on daily functioning and treatment outcomes.To study the needs for information and possibility to participate as an active partner in health care.
Study design:
The study consists of an observation comparable study and an observation study with repeated measures.
Study population:
255 COPD patients and 90 healthy controls.
Primary study parameters:
Raw scores on the different subtest of the neuropsychological test battery and 5 compound scores for different cognitive domains.
