MxA and CRP testsMxA and CRP feedbackFollow up

MxA and CRP tests: A whole blood sample will be collected on the day of randomization for MxA and CRP testing.

MxA and CRP feedback: MxA and CRP results will be reported to the attending physcian within 4 hours, along with antimicrobial treatment guidelines based on these results.

Follow up: Telephone visit will be conducted on Day 14, Day 30, and Day 90 after randomization. Day 14 and Day 30 follow-up: antimicrobial usage; additional medical visits, hospitalization, death, symptom scores (CAT score and mMRC score). Day 90 follow-up: Occurrence of another exacerbation of COPD, symptom scores (CAT score and mMRC score), death.

Study summary

This randomized controlled trial will investigate the clinical impact of Myxovirus Resistance A (MxA) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP)-guided antimicrobial treatment compared to usual care in outpatients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
