Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
A disease state characterized by the presence of airflow obstruction
that does not reverse completely after bronchodilator.
, GOLD definition of COPD
A common, preventable, and treatable disease characterized by
persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to
airway and/or alveolar abnormalities, usually caused by significant
exposure to noxious particles or gases.
Emphysema
A condition characterized by abnormal, permanent enlargement of the
airspaces beyond the terminal bronchiole, accompanied by destruction
of the walls of the airspaces without fibrosis.
Chronic Bronchitis
A condition in which chronic productive cough is present for at least 3
months per year for at least 2 consecutive years.
Risk Factors for COPD
Common causes include cigarette smoking (80-90% of all COPD-related
deaths) and Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (2-3% of all COPD).
Epidemiology of COPD
In the US, COPD is currently the third leading cause of death affecting
30 million people, responsible for 156,979 deaths in 2020.
WHO prediction for COPD
COPD will become the fifth most prevalent disease in the world and the
third leading cause of worldwide mortality by 2030.
Signs and Symptoms of COPD
Common signs and symptoms associated with COPD include chronic
cough, sputum production, and dyspnea.
