Impact of COPD in the US • Affects ~20 million Americans1 • Annual cost $32.1 billion in 20022 • $18 billion in direct healthcare costs • $14.1 billion in indirect morbidity and mortality costs • The fourth leading cause of death3 • 118,744 deaths in 2001 1.

Definition of COPD: GOLD 2003 • Clinical syndrome with symptoms including • Intermittent or persistent cough • Sputum production • Persistent and/or progressive dyspnea • History of exposure to risk factors for COPD (smoking tobacco) • Disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible • Usually progressive • Usually associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases GOLD=Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Updated 2003. Available at: www.goldcopd.com/revised.pdf.
Risk Factors for COPD • Host factors • Genetic (eg, -1 antitrypsin deficiency) • Airway hyperresponsiveness • Lung growth • Environmental factors • Tobacco smoke • Occupational dusts and chemicals • Air pollution (outdoor and indoor) • Infections • Socioeconomic status Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Updated 2003. Available at: www.goldcopd.com/revised.pdf.
COPD Risk: Smoking • Primary risk factor for COPD • Higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung function abnormalities • Greater annual rate of decline in FEV1 • Greater COPD mortality rate than nonsmokers • Differences between cigarette smokers and nonsmokers increase in direct proportion to the quantity of smoking Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Updated 2003. Available at: www.goldcopd.com/revised.pdf.
COPD Affects a Wide Range of Patients • It’s Not Just A Disease Of the Elderly Data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) : 70% of patients with COPD are younger than age of 65
Differential Diagnosis of COPD • COPD must be distinguished from the following : • Asthma • Acute bronchitis • Congestive heart failure • Bronchiectasis • Tuberculosis • Obliterative bronchitis
Measurement of Airway Obstruction:Spirometry • Simple to measure • Reproducible • On average reflects functional status and prognosis • For years has been the gold standard used by the FDA and scientific community to assess outcome

Audience Response SystemQuestion # 5 • Which of the following will decrease (slow down) the rate of decline in the FEV1 in COPD patients: • 1. Inhaled corticosteroids • 2. Long-acting bronchodilators • 3. Oxygen therapy • 4. Smoke cessation • 5. Pulmonary rehabilitation
Bronchodilators in COPD • Central to symptom management of COPD • Inhaled agents are preferred • Choice depends on availability, individual response and adverse effects • Long acting agents are more effective and convenient, but more expensive • Combinations may be more effective and with less adverse effects GOLD guidelines AJRCCM 2001 163:1256-76
