Objectives: Shared Decision Making (SDM) has potential to support Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) decision-making when patients are offered a menu of centre- and home-based options. This study sought to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a three-component PR SDM intervention for individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and PR healthcare professionals.
Methods: Participants were recruited from Dec 2021-Sep 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of AI decision support software in enhancing spirometry interpretation by primary care clinicians, aiming to address variability in diagnostic accuracy for chronic lung diseases.
- A randomized controlled trial will involve at least 228 clinicians in the UK to compare those using the AI software against those not using it, focusing on the accuracy of their interpretations compared to expert assessments.
- Ethical approval has been obtained, and the results will be shared through various platforms, including academic conferences and social media, to reach both professionals and the general public.
Background: Spirometry services to diagnose and monitor lung disease in primary care were identified as a priority in the NHS Long Term Plan, and are restarting post-COVID-19 pandemic in England; however, evidence regarding best practice is limited.
Aim: To explore perspectives on spirometry provision in primary care, and the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) decision support software to aid quality and interpretation.
Design And Setting: Semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in spirometry services across England.
Background: Evidence about the delays to diagnosis for patients presenting with breathlessness is lacking.
Aim: To explore current care of patients with breathlessness through the experiences of adults presenting with chronic breathlessness who are awaiting a diagnosis and the experiences of primary care clinicians.
Design And Setting: Qualitative study with adults presenting with chronic breathlessness and clinicians across 10 general practices.
