Disease progression in young patients with COPD: rethinking the Fletcher and Peto model.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), although frequent in older individuals, can also occur at younger age; this latter population has not been well described. We reviewed the functional progression of 1708 patients with COPD attending pulmonary clinics. Those with three or more annual spirometries were divided into those who, at enrolment, were ≤ 55 (n = 103) or ≥ 65 (n = 463) years o...

The natural history of COPD: confirming and going beyond Fletcher and Peto.
In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ), SANCHEZ-SALCEDO et al. [3] contribute to our knowledge of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) clinical status and progression in a study of 103 younger and 463 older patients followed for o2 years. All patients attended specialised pulmonary clinics, had smoked for o20 pack-years and were (presumably) symptomatic from their physi...
متن کاملHypoxemia in patients with COPD: cause, effects, and disease progression
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death and disability internationally. Alveolar hypoxia and consequent hypoxemia increase in prevalence as disease severity increases. Ventilation/perfusion mismatch resulting from progressive airflow limitation and emphysema is the key driver of this hypoxia, which may be exacerbated by sleep and exercise. Uncorrected chronic hy...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Diaphragmatic Movements in Sonographic Assessment and Disease Severity in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Introduction: Pulmonary hyperinflation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can increase the breathing rate and reduce diaphragmatic movements by pushing the diaphragms downward and limiting their movements; this, in fact, can affect the breathing process. The purpose of this study was to compare diaphragmatic movements in COPD patients and healthy ones and to evaluate ...
