In a nutshell: The authors examine the effect of case management in primary care of patients with COPD at high risk of hospital admission, identified using a novel multidimensional index of disease severity (DOSE index). This observational pilot study in a single general practice showed case management of high-risk patients in primary care may reduce hospital admissions. This needs to be tested in a randomized controlled trial.
