Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Overview

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a significant global contributor to chronic illness and premature death. As the third leading cause of death worldwide, its prevalence and fatality rates are projected to rise in the coming decades. The disease is characterized by chronic inflammation that causes structural alterations and constriction in the smaller air passages. This inflammatory process also drives lung tissue damage, resulting in the detachment of alveoli from smaller airways and a decrease in lung elasticity, which ultimately reduces the airways’ ability to remain open during exhalation. To assess the extent of airflow restriction, spirometry serves as the most accessible and dependable measure of lung function, with diagnosis confirmed by a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio of less than 0.70. The clinical impact of COPD on an individual is determined not only by the degree of airflow limitation but also by the severity of associated symptoms and the frequency of exacerbations. Because an imperfect correlation exists between the degree of airflow limitation and patient symptoms, modern staging acts as a practical framework that combines spirometric grading with symptom burden and exacerbation risk to guide the initial management plan.
