متن کاملAIMAR survey on COPD phenotypes
BACKGROUND COPD is characterized by considerable diversity in terms of clinical signs and symptoms, physiopathological mechanisms, response to treatment and disease progression. For this reason, the identification of different patient subgroups (or possible phenotypes) is important both for prognosis and for therapeutic objectives.

متن کاملComputed tomography-derived pathological phenotypes in COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considered to be a complex, multicomponent, heterogeneous disease, the pathology, clinical and functional presentation of which vary greatly between individual patients despite similar degrees of airflow limitation [1]. COPD has therefore been considered to have distinct phenotypes that represent a single or combination of disease attributes that ...
متن کاملThe recent advances of phenotypes in acute exacerbations of COPD
Exacerbations of COPD are clinically relevant events with therapeutic and prognostic implications. Yet, significant heterogeneity of clinical presentation and disease progression exists within acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). Currently, different phenotypes have been widely used to describe the characteristics among patients with AECOPD. This has proved to be significant in the treatment a...
