Study summary

To evaluate the utility of DCR-derived parameters for identifying dynamic functional imaging phenotypes, assessing disease severity, and predicting the risk of disease progression in COPD.

Read the detailed description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 100 million people in China have COPD, yet the early diagnosis rate remains below 13%. This multicenter retrospective study will collect previously acquired dynamic chest radiography (DCR) images, pulmonary function test results, chest computed tomography images, symptom scores, clinical data, and follow-up outcomes from participating centers. A standardized multicenter retrospective DCR-COPD database will be established to systematically evaluate the utility of DCR-derived parameters for characterizing dynamic functional imaging phenotypes, assessing disease severity, and predicting the risk of COPD progression. The study will also provide a foundation for model development and subsequent prospective multicenter validation.

Study population

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms, including dyspnea, cough, and sputum production. These symptoms result from airway abnormalities, such as bronchitis or bronchiolitis, and/or alveolar abnormalities, such as emphysema, that cause persistent and often progressive airflow obstruction.

Groups and cohorts

  • COPD group

    any patient who complains of dyspnea, chronic cough or sputum, a history of recurrent lower respiratory infection and/or a history of exposure to disease risk factors, Pulmonary function examination indicated that FEV1/FVC \<0.7 after bronchodilator was used to confirm COPD.

  • PRISM group

    After bronchial dilation, FEV1/FVC was ≥0.70, and FEV1%PRED was \<80%.

  • Smoking exposure groups

    Smoking history of 10 years, or without COPD, pulmonary function of COPD diagnosis standard.

  • Normal control group

    Never-smokers without airflow limitation and with normal pulmonary function.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 13, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
