Abstract

PURPOSE: A Canadian disease management (DM) study demonstrated short- and long-term reductions in all-cause hospitalizations in patients with COPD even after active DM stopped (Eur Respir J 2005;26:853). Using a simplified COPD DM program, we previously demonstrated significant reductions in hospital admissions and urgent care visits during DM (Am J Respir Crit Care 2010;182:890). The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes of our patients who underwent DM.
