His research focuses on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly acute exacerbations, psychiatric comorbidities, non-invasive ventilation adherence, and patient vulnerability. He utilizes large-scale registry data and cohort studies to investigate prognostic factors, mortality risks, and healthcare utilization patterns. His work emphasizes real-world clinical outcomes and the integration of mental health in respiratory care.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in clinical epidemiology, especially in COPD management across different healthcare settings, psychiatric predictors of treatment adherence, and cardiovascular risks in comorbid conditions. His research spans respiratory medicine, cardiology, psychiatry, and public health, often using nationwide registry data for robust population-level insights.
He has been involved in media outreach to raise awareness about COPD comorbidities and diagnosis patterns, demonstrating engagement beyond academia. Though no formal awards are listed, his active publication record and project leadership reflect scholarly recognition.
Jacobsen has supervised or co-supervised research, including a PhD thesis on psychiatric predictors of NIV adherence, indicating an advisory role. He led a completed research project on social and mental vulnerability in COPD patients (2019–2021) and has contributed to multiple datasets, suggesting involvement in collaborative, data-driven research. While no external grants are explicitly mentioned, the project indicates research funding support.
He is part of a collaborative network centered on obstructive lung disease, involving researchers from Aalborg University and North Denmark Regional Hospital, particularly working with U.M. Weinreich. His team focuses on treatable traits, patient stratification, and improving outcomes in COPD through multidisciplinary approaches.
