Background: Hospitalization for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with poor prognosis. eHealth interventions might improve outcomes and decrease costs. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an eHealth program on COPD hospitalizations and exacerbations. Methods: This was a real-world study conducted from April 2018 to December 2019 in the Bravis Hospital, the Netherlands. An eHealth program (EmmaCOPD) was offered to COPD patients at r... Abstract

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Volume 13, 12 2 2018, Pages 3297-3306 A systematic diagnostic evaluation combined with an internet-based self-management support system for patients with asthma or COPD. van Buul AR, Wildschut TS, Bonten TN, Kasteleyn MJ, Slats AM, Chavannes NH, Taube C
Introduction: An (inter)national systematic approach for patients with asthma COPD referred to secondary care is lacking. Therefore, a novel systematic approach was designed and tested in clinical practice. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of data from the electronic record system of the Leiden University Medical Center. Asthma and COPD patients were included if they were evaluated with a novel systematic approach or if they had a new record for asthma or COPD and received u... Abstract

Respiratory research, Volume 19, Issue 1, 27 4 2018, Pages 49 Physical activity in the morning and afternoon is lower in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with morning symptoms. van Buul AR, Kasteleyn MJ, Chavannes NH, Taube C
Background: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience symptoms that vary over the day. Symptoms at the start of the day might influence physical activity during the rest of the day. Therefore, physical activity during the course of the day was studied in patients with low and high morning symptom scores. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included patients with moderate to very severe COPD. Morning symptoms were evaluated with the PRO-morning COPD Sympt... Abstract

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Volume 12, 3 1 2017, Pages 2831-2840 The association between objectively measured physical activity and morning symptoms in COPD. van Buul AR, Kasteleyn MJ, Chavannes NH, Taube C
Purpose: The morning is the most bothersome period for COPD patients. Morning symptom severities in different Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stages are not well studied. Furthermore, factors that are associated with morning symptoms, especially the associations with objectively measured physical activity, are also not well described. Materials and methods: The aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to assess morning symptom severity in GOLD A, B, C and... Abstract

European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, Volume 26, Issue 143, 3 1 2017, Pages 160033 Association between morning symptoms and physical activity in COPD: a systematic review. van Buul AR, Kasteleyn MJ, Chavannes NH, Taube C
Morning symptoms are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Many COPD patients consider the morning as the most troublesome part of the day, in which they experience more symptoms and physical activity limitations.To systematically report evidence of the association between morning symptoms and physical activity in COPD patients, a literature search was conducted using relevant MESH terms and text words in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, COCHRANE, CINAHL and PsycINFO. Quality of... Abstract

Expert opinion on biological therapy, Volume 15, Issue 12, 31 5 2015, Pages 1713-1725 Treatment of severe asthma: entering the era of targeted therapy. van Buul AR, Taube C
Introduction: It is estimated that 5 - 10% of asthma patients suffer from severe asthma. Severe asthma is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. These patients are not controlled with currently available treatments and therefore additional treatment options are needed. Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, and different asthma patient groups probably have different underlying pathophysiology. Novel therapies with, for example, monoclonal antibodies that target certain immunological path... Abstract
