Indices and COPD
The paper by Inal-Ince and colleagues (pag. 162-167) examines fatigue in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relating it to multi dimensional indices of overall disease severity, BODE and SAFE. It is the selection of these indices that will be examined in this Editorial. COPD is now considered a multi dimensional disease, in fact, quite remarkably so. A little history will remind how t...
متن کاملMulticomponent indices to predict survival in COPD.
The recent article by MARIN et al. [1] compared various multicomponent indices of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity to see which best predicted survival and concluded ADO (age, dyspnoea and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)) and BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea and exercise capacity) were the most valid. However, these were only the most valid of the...
متن کاملE pluribus plurima: Multidimensional indices and clinical phenotypes in COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disorder of the respiratory system characterized by progressive and only partially reversible airflow obstruction, due to a varying combination of large (bronchitis) and small airways (small airway disease) damage, and lung parenchymal and vascular destruction [1]. We prefer the term obstruction to airflow limitation because the latter is a phys...
متن کاملThe relationship between different diet quality indices and severity of airflow obstruction among COPD patients
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem worldwide. Smoking is the number one cause of COPD; however, genetic, environmental and dietary factors contribute to the etiology of this disease. In this study, we assessed the association between three diet quality indices -the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005), the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-201...
متن کاملLung function indices for predicting mortality in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by high morbidity and mortality. It remains unknown which aspect of lung function carries the most prognostic information and if simple spirometry is sufficient. Survival was assessed in COPD outpatients whose data had been added prospectively to a clinical audit database from the point of first full lung function testing including s...
