Question Which is false for COPD and anemia? • 10-15% of COPD patients have anemia • Anemia is defined as a Hct level <%39 (in M) and <%36 (in F) • In COPD patients, HCT is an independent and major predictor of survival • Raised cytokines and chemokines have a key role in ACD • RBC life is not shortened in ACD of COPD patients
ACD is immune driven and mainly inflammatory in nature • From a pathophysiological point of view, there are three putative mechanisms that are thought to lead to ACD, namely: • Shortened RBC survival • Iron homeostasis dysregulation • Impaired bone marrow erythropoietic response • Shortened RBC survival is thought to occur as a result of raised IL-1 and TNF in COPD KOAH ve anemi konusundaki ifadelerden yanlış olanı bulunuz • 10-15% of COPD patients have anaemia • Anaemia is defined as a Hct level <%39(in M) and <%36 (in F) • In COPD patients, HCT is an independent and major predictor of survival • Raised cytokines and chemokines have a key role in ACD • There is not the shortened RBC life seen in ACD in Similowski T, Agusti A, MacNee W, Schönhofer B.

Question Which statement is wrong for osteoporosis in COPD patients? • 1SD reduction in BMD increases the fracture risk by 1,5-3 fold • PTs with COPD are at risk to develop osteoporosis due to a reduced muscle mass and strength • Hypogonadism and other endocrine abnormalities can contribute to the development of osteoporosis • For COPD pts with osteopenia those on long-term KS, BMD should be undertaken • For prevention, daly intake of 1000 mg Ca should be ensured

QUESTION Patient BMI is 15.2 kg/m2. Which one of the following statements is false ? • About 25% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will develop cachexia • Incidence of cachecsia correlates with airway obstruction • Decrease in muscle mass increases the mortality risk • Increase in basal metabolic rate, tissue hypoxia, smoking, inflammation, drugs are etiopathogenetic factors • PR is contrindicated at this stage
Patient BMI is 15.2 kg/m2. Which one of the following statements is false ? • About 25% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will develop cachexia • Incidence of cachecsia correlates with airway obstruction • Decrease in muscle mass increases the mortality risk • Increase in basal metabolic rate, tissue hypoxia, smoking, inflammation, drugs are etiopathogenetic factors • PR is contrindicated at this stage This must be balanced against the findings that exercise training does in fact lead to a substantial improvement in exercise capacity, even in cachectic patients.

QUESTION Which of the following statements is true for performing sleep study in this patient ? • It should be performed in every cor pulmonale patient • There is no indication, CP is the usual prognosis • It should be performed, because ABG values do not correlate with the functional level • It would have been performed if the patient had mild to moderate obstruction along with hypoxemia and PH • It would have been performed if the patient had daytime somnolence
