Abstract
From PubMed, referencing articles over the previous 4 years, 146 articles addressing morbidity and mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were reviewed. The major topics covered in this article include the epidemiology of COPD, spirometry with ATS/ERS and GOLD staging, scoring Indices (BODE, ADO, FODEP), trajectories in the development of COPD, pathophysiology of COPD, classification of COPD phenotypes, pharmacotherapy of COPD, causes of Acute Exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), CT Lung imaging in COPD, and COPD comorbidities. All studies are referenced allowing for greater exploration into given areas of interest (76 ref.).
