Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently coexists with other chronic diseases, namely comorbidities. They negatively impact prognosis, exacerbations and quality of life in COPD patients. However, no studies have been performed to explore the these comorbidities on clinical control criteria. Research question Determine relationship between individualized Study design methods Observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study Spain involving 4801 patients...
Risk factors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) isolation in patients hospitalised chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation remain controversial. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence and risk PA sputum at hospital admission a prospective cohort with acute COPD. We prospectively studied all COPD admitted between June 2003 September 2004. Suspected predictors were studied. Spirometry tests 6-min walking performed 1 month after discharged. High-resolution computed...
Guidelines recommend defining chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by airflow obstruction and other factors, but no studies have evaluated the ability of existing multicomponent indices to predict mortality up 10 years. We conducted a patient-based pooled analysis. Survival analysis C statistics were used determine best COPD index/indices according several construct variables varying time-points. Individual data 3633 patients from 11 cohorts collected, totalling experience 15 878...
Retrospective studies based on clinical data and without spirometric confirmation suggest a poorer prognosis of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The impact undiagnosed COPD in these is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic - previously or newly diagnosed IHD treated PCI.Patients confirmed by PCI were consecutively included. After they underwent forced spirometry evaluation for...
The prevalence of COPD is high, and most cases remain undiagnosed. In contrast, some patients labeled treated as do not have spirometric confirmation. Our objective was to determine the among smokers aged 45 years or older investigate accuracy diagnosis in primary care. A population-based, epidemiological study conducted a care centre subjects than with history smoking. participants underwent clinical questionnaire spirometry bronchodilator test. Additionally, newly diagnosed COPD, defined...
This study aimed to identify simple rules for allocating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients clinical phenotypes identified by cluster analyses. Data from 2409 COPD of French/Belgian cohorts were analysed using analysis resulting in the identification subgroups, which relevance was determined comparing 3-year all-cause mortality. Classification and regression trees (CARTs) used develop an algorithm these subgroups. tested 3651 Cohorts Collaborative International Assessment...
Background: Excluding the tropics, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are more frequent in winter. However, studies that directly relate hospitalizations for exacerbation COPD to ambient temperature lacking. The aim this study was assess influence on number COPD. Methods: This a population-based metropolitan area. All hospital discharges acute during 2009 Barcelona and its area were analyzed. relationship between mean, minimum, maximum temperatures alongside...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with multiple comorbidities, which impact negatively on patients and are often underdiagnosed, thus lacking a proper management due to the absence of clear guidelines. Purpose: To elaborate expert recommendations aimed help healthcare professionals provide right care for treating COPD comorbidities. Methods: A modified RAND-UCLA appropriateness method consisting nominal groups draw up consensus (6 Spanish experts)...
Patients with multimorbidity and complex health care needs are usually vulnerable elders several concomitant advanced chronic diseases. Our research aim was to evaluate differences in patterns of by gender this population their possible prognostic implications, measured as in-hospital mortality, 1-month readmissions, 1-year mortality. We focused on a cohort elderly patients well-established criteria admitted specific unit for complex-care patients. Multimorbidity criteria, the Charlson,...
