Abstract
The Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) proposed six Action Groups. After almost three years of activity, many achievements have been obtained through commitments or collaborative work of the Action Groups. However, they have often worked in silos and, consequently, synergies between Action Groups have been proposed to strengthen the triple win of the EIP on AHA. The paper presents the methodology and current status of the Task Force on EIP on AHA synergies. Synergies are in line with the Action Groups' new Renovated Action Plan (2016-2018) to ensure that their future objectives are coherent and fully connected. The outcomes and impact of synergies are using the Monitoring and Assessment Framework for the EIP on AHA (MAFEIP). Eight proposals for synergies have been approved by the Task Force: Five cross-cutting synergies which can be used for all current and future synergies as they consider overarching domains (appropriate polypharmacy, citizen empowerment, teaching and coaching on AHA, deployment of synergies to EU regions, Responsible Research and Innovation), and three cross-cutting synergies focussing on current Action Group activities (falls, frailty, integrated care and chronic respiratory diseases).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence and rapidly increasing incidence rates. The effect of self-treatment of COPD exacerbations on the severity of exacerbations during a 1-year period was examined and a cost-effectiveness analysis was performed. METHODS Patients were randomly allocated to four 2-hour self-management sessions, with or without training in self-treatment of exacerbations. Patients in the self-treatment group received an action plan with the possibility to initiate a course of prednisolone (with or without antibiotics). During follow-up, all participants kept a daily symptom diary. These provided the data to calculate the frequency of exacerbations, the number of exacerbation days and mean daily severity scores. RESULTS Data were analysed for 142 randomised patients (self-treatment: n = 70; control: n = 72). The frequency of exacerbations was identical in both study groups (mean (SD) 3.5 (2.7)). Patients in the self-treatment group reported fewer exacerbation days (median 31 (interquartile range (IQR) 8.9-67.5) in the self-treatment group vs 40 (IQR 13.3-88.2) in the control group; p = 0.064); the difference was significant in the group of patients with a high number of exacerbation days per year (>137 (90th percentile of the whole study population); p = 0.028). The mean severity score of an exacerbation day was equal in both groups. No between-group differences were found in health-related quality of life. Cost-effectiveness analyses showed that applying self-treatment saved euro154 per patient, with a trend towards a lower probability for hospital admissions (0.20/patient/year in the self-treatment group vs 0.33/patient/year in the control group; p = 0.388) and a significant reduction of health care contacts (5.37/patient/year in the self-treatment group vs 6.51/patient/year in the control group; p = 0.043). CONCLUSION Self-treatment of exacerbations incorporated in a self-management programme leads to fewer exacerbation days and lower costs.
