About This COPD Study in Cleveland

Sarcopenia, or skeletal muscle loss, impacts up to 40% of COPD patients and is a major cause for morbidity and mortality. Despite the high clinical significance of sarcopenia in COPD, the diagnosis remains elusive because accurate measures of skeletal muscle are not tested during routine clinical care. The goal is to use evidence-based strategies to diagnose and treat sarcopenia due to COPD. The multidisciplinary team includes a pulmonologist, pharmacist, COPD nurse, and COPD coordinator. The investigators anticipate that the approach will improve clinical outcomes for COPD patients with sarcopenia as compared to standard of care visits in ambulatory COPD clinics. The investigators will determine if the approach improves skeletal muscle mass and function, and also improves clinical outcomes related to frequency of hospitalization or ED (Emergency Department) visits, COPD exacerbations, and mortality.
