BACKGROUND Some patients share characteristics of both COPD and asthma. As yet, there is no gold standard to identify patients with the so-called asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS). OBJECTIVE To describe the differences between ACOS patients and the remaining COPD patients, and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with ACOS by two different criteria: previous diagnos...
متن کاملWhat is asthma-COPD overlap syndrome? Towards a consensus definition from a round table discussion.
Patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS) have been largely excluded from pivotal therapeutic trials and, as a result, its treatment remains poorly defined and lacking firm evidence. To date, there is no universally accepted definition of ACOS, which has made it difficult to understand its epidemiology or pathophysiology. Despite many uncertainties, ther...

Although in textbooks asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are viewed as distinct disorders, there is increasing awareness that many patients have features of both. This article reviews the asthma-COPD overlap syndrome.
متن کاملThe Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are pulmonary disorders characterized by various degrees of airflow limitation, inflammation and tissue remodeling. Bronchial asthma, an allergic disease that develops in childhood, is physiologically characterized by reversible airflow obstruction. It has an episodic course and a generally favorable prognosis, as it responds well to anti-...
