Brief Summary  

The study will consist of a single clinic visit during which data will be collected by spirometry, blood, stool and urine tests, review of medical history, review of COPD exacerbation history, and review of concomitant or recent medications. Participants’ self-report will be used to complement medical records and to collect information on previous exposure to dust, fumes and biomass smoke.

This study aims to recruit a total of 500 participants with COPD from India. COPD symptoms must have started after 30 years of age. Areas with high prevalence of helminth infection will be selected with the assumption that approximately 20% to 30% of recruited patients will have helminth infections. Recruitment is estimated to take six months.

The study will be conducted at established healthcare sites with respiratory specialists who have access to bronchodilators and spirometers. Sites will also have a local laboratory capable of performing haematology testing and detection of helminth infection. Rural sites will be preferred due to the increased prevalence of helminth infections in these areas. Study investigators will invite patients from their practices to participate in the study. Patients who are diagnosed with a helminth infection during this study will be referred to a hospital or health care centre for treatment according to institutional practice.
