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.

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.

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 ...

Persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who wish to remain sexually active must make adaptations to compensate for their diminishing activity tolerance, increasing dyspnea, role and sexual self-image changes, anxiety, and increased need for communication.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not a single disorder. Rather, it is a collection of disorders characterized by the progressive development of airflow limitation. Patients afflicted with COPD experience systemic effects that are often responsible for major clinical problems.

Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2005
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by a chronic inflammation in the pulmonary tissue. The disease is associated with a switch from a self-limiting inflammatory response, mainly initiated by smoke inhalation, to a chronic persistent inflammatory response after prolonged interaction with cigarette smoke.
