Title: Exploring and characterising long-term health impacts of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and associations with COPD treatment among different COPD phenotypes: an analysis of electronic health records in the United Kingdom
Summary:
Harley aims to explore the:
- Progression and long-term health impacts of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD);
- Relationship between different COPD phentoypes and treatments
Her study aims to use electronic healthcare records to identify and examine long-term health impacts of current treatments on COPD patients with different ethnicities and COPD phenotypes.
She hopes that her project will bring new understanding about the best possible definition of COPD phenotypes and phenotype-specific medication impacts.
Harley’s work is funded by the Health Data Research UK and the National Respiratory Audit Programme.
