PHAC Data Blog: COPD
COPD is a progressive illness that causes breathlessness and Canadian Pacific mesothelioma cough. It is caused by prolonged exposure to lung irritants typically tobacco smoke. The PHAC Data Blog is a great source for quick facts and the latest information on a variety of public health issues. This month, we're focusing on COPD.
Prevalence
COPD is an ongoing debilitating and chronic illness that can be brought on by exposure to irritants to the lungs like smoking tobacco. Shortness of breath, sputum and coughing are signs. The disease is most common in older adults. The disease isn't curable but treatments can slow the progression of the disease, improve symptoms and enhance quality of life.
COPD is most common in people aged 65 and over, and its prevalence increases with the advancing years. COPD is the most frequent cause of deaths in Canada, and it causes significant morbidity, mortality and utilization of health services. In BC the burden of COPD is significant and is increasing as the population gets older.
Current data sources tend to underestimate COPD prevalence. This is likely due to variations in survey methods and different characteristics of the population. In spite of the different estimates of prevalence, it is still clear that the disease is prevalent.
A lung function test, or Spirometry is a test that can be performed in primary health care to track COPD and detect it. The increased use of spirometry among the general population may help to identify and manage the condition, and may eventually reduce the costs of healthcare associated with this condition.
Signs and symptoms
COPD is a chronic lung disease which causes symptoms such as shortness of breath coughing, sputum, and coughing. It is typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gasses or particles, which is most often smoking cigarettes. It is often difficult to identify and often misdiagnosed as asthma or other illnesses with similar symptoms. It is a tangled disease that has four distinct phenotypes: canadian pacific kidney cancer COPD-asthma (non-acute) COPD-asthma (acute) and COPD/canadian pacific chronic lymphocytic leukemia bronchitis (canadian pacific acute myeloid leukemia).
Gershon and co-workers conducted a study that showed that a significant percentage of patients suffering from COPD were underdiagnosed (10). Researchers discovered that people who were not diagnosed had higher rates of emergency department visits and hospital visits than people with COPD. They were also more likely to smoke. The underdiagnosis is attributed to the non-use of spirometry and the misdiagnosis nonspecific respiratory symptoms like dyspnea. Patients who are suspected of having COPD can benefit from a post-bronchodilator lung function test and anticholinergic medications. This will lead to better treatment for Canadian Pacific kidney cancer the patient and reduce the costs to healthcare systems.
Diagnosis
Early detection of COPD is vital since it can slow the progression of symptoms and decreases the frequency of exacerbations. The symptoms of COPD can be identified by physical and medical examinations and an easy breathing test known as spirometry. In countries with high incomes, spirometry can be used to identify chronic respiratory conditions. However, Canadian Pacific kidney Cancer in low- and middle-income nations it is not always available. It is crucial to follow-up to assess compliance, inhaler technique and the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
