Abstract
Patients admitted with exacerbation COPD (AECOPD) were at hospital discharge randomly assigned (1:1) to either daily teleconsultation for one week between hospital-based telenurses and patients with severe COPD or conventional treatment. Addition of one week of teleconsultations was as safe and effective as conventional treatment, but it did not significantly reduce readmissions or affect mortality.
