what type of disease is COPD
progressive (worsens over time)
preventable, treatable
what contributes to the overall severity in individual COPD patients
exacerbations and comorbidities (also impacts morbidity and mortality)
how does COPD affect people
COPD and rural communities
prevalence is highest in rural areas
, COPD and gender
— COPD often associated with men, women are frequently diagnosed after the disease is
already advanced
— death resulting from COPD in women is higher than in men
COPD and ethnicity
COPD in WI pts
— older (>65)
— low education
— low income level
— divorced/widowed/separated
— smoker
— asthma
2 underlying disease processes that lead to COPD
1. emphysema
2. chronic bronchitis
emphysema in COPD
chronic bronchitis in COPD
airway in severe COPD
1. connective tissue around alveoli destroyed
2. airway narrows due to chronic inflammation
3. mucus production blocks airway
inflammatory and structural changes in the lung lead to airway narrowing, air trapping, and
mucus production
COPD and "stimulus"
