Essential facts Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) covers a number of lung conditions, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. People with COPD have lung damage that is not fully reversible. These conditions kill about 30,000 people a year in the UK.

COPD mortality - Is it all COPD?
5.2 Monitoring Airway Disease, 2015Background: We undertook a COPD mortality review in response to a mortality outlier alert within our trust due to a high COPD SHMI. Aims: This review aimed to elucidate the cause of the high SHMI, highlight diagnostic errors and identify necessary changes to our practice to improve patient care and outcomes.

COPD or not COPD: Answer in FEV1
4.1 Clinical Physiology, Exercise and Functional Imaging, 2016Systematic screening of COPD allows identification of subjects with persistent airway obstruction who do not complain of any symptom. Little is known about subjects with undiagnosed persistent airway obstruction. We aimed to compare some clinical and spirometric data between subjects with spirometrically-defined COPD (i.e., persistent airway ...

Although there is increasing interest in using pulmonary biomarkers for a more complete and clinically relevant assessment of COPD and a plethora of biomarkers are becoming available, there is little information regarding their reproducibility and correlation with other outcome measurements in COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease that cannot be described by the severity of airflow limitation (forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration) only. Other measures are needed in clinical practice to assess patients, predict their risk, guide their treatment, and assess their response to it.

Lung function testing (spirometry) is crucial for the diagnosis of COPD, as irreversible airway obstruction is the main feature of chronic airway inflammation. Spirometry not only is essential in making the diagnosis but also in grading the disease according to FEV1 measurements.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized and defined by limitation of expiratory airflow. This can result from several types of anatomical lesions, including loss of lung elastic recoil and fibrosis and narrowing of small airways. Inflammation, edema, and secretions also contribute variably to airflow limitation.

Current Drug Target -Inflammation & Allergy, 2005
Smoking is the main etiologic factor in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cigarette smoke produces an enormous oxidant burden on the lungs, which is exacerbated by the release of oxidants from inflammatory cells. There is considerable evidence that an increased oxidative burden occurs in the lungs of patients with COPD, and this may be ...

Osteoporosis, with resulting fractures, is a significant problem in patients with advanced COPD. The etiology for the bone loss is diverse but includes smoking, vitamin D deficiency, low body mass index, hypogonadism, sedentary lifestyle, and use of glucocorticoids.
