Data collection arrangements
The Collaboration In COPD ExaceRbatiOns (CICERO) Clinical Research Collaboration (CRC) has secured the funds to begin a pan-European prospective interventional cohort study ‘CATALINA’ as part of its ambitious three-year project. The project’s objective is to understand and improve outcomes in severe COPD exacerbations across Europe.
The CATALINA study will collect and collate prospective, standardised, longitudinal data in 20 European centres, obtained from 1,000 enrolled patients hospitalised for an acute COPD exacerbation with a one-year follow-up. This study will serve as an exploratory dataset to design future interventions studies for specific patient subgroups.
