Which chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care recommendations have low implementation and why? A pilot study

Clinical care components for people with COPD are recommended in guidelines if high-level evidence exists. However, there are gaps in their implementation, and factors which act as barriers or facilitators to their uptake are not well described. The aim of this pilot study was to explore implementation of key high-evidence COPD guideline recommendations in patients admitted to hospital with a disease exacerbation, to inform the development of a larger observational study.This study was supported by an International Centre for Allied Health Evidence Seeding Grant. The chief investigator is funded by a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Translating Research Into Practice (TRIP) Fellowship in 2011–2012
