TL;DR: COPD is under-diagnosed not only in its early stages, but even when lung function is severely impaired, and the message that COPD is both preventable and treatable has yet to be fully understood by most healthcare providers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: International studies of trends in COPD-related hospitalization indicate that although the average length of stay has decreased since 1972, admissions per 1,000 persons per year for COPD have increased in all age groups > 45 years of age, reflecting population aging, smoking patterns, institutional factors, and treatment practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
