Determinants of underdiagnosis of COPD in national and international surveys

Reads0

TLDR
Even with substantial heterogeneity in COPD prevalence, COPD underdiagnosis is universally high and effective management strategies are available for COPD, so spirometry can help in the diagnosis of COPD at a stage when treatment will lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life.

Global, regional, and national deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years, and years lived with disability for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Joan B. Soriano, +132 more
TL;DR: The GBD study provides annual updates on estimates of deaths, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), a summary measure of fatal and non-fatal disease outcomes, for over 300 diseases and injuries, for 188 countries from 1990 to the most recent year.

Prevalence and attributable health burden of chronic respiratory diseases, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Joan B. Soriano, +314 more
TL;DR: It is shown that chronic respiratory diseases remain a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with growth in absolute numbers but sharp declines in several age-standardised estimators since 1990.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: Without a global political and economic effort to reduce tobacco use, to regulate environmental exposure, and to find alternatives to the massive use of biomass fuel, COPD will remain a major health-care problem for decades to come.

Disease Staging and Prognosis in Smokers Using Deep Learning in Chest Computed Tomography.

TL;DR: A deep‐learning approach that uses only computed tomography imaging data can identify those smokers who have COPD and predict who is most likely to have ARD events and those with the highest mortality.

Global, regional, and national prevalence of, and risk factors for, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 2019: a systematic review and modelling analysis

TL;DR: In this article , a multilevel multivariable mixed-effects meta-regression approach was used to estimate global, regional, and national COPD prevalence and risk factors to guide policy and population interventions.

Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

Rafael Lozano, +195 more
- 15 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 aimed to estimate annual deaths for the world and 21 regions between 1980 and 2010 for 235 causes, with uncertainty intervals (UIs), separately by age and sex, using the Cause of Death Ensemble model.

Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

Theo Vos, +363 more
- 15 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: Prevalence and severity of health loss were weakly correlated and age-specific prevalence of YLDs increased with age in all regions and has decreased slightly from 1990 to 2010, but population growth and ageing have increased YLD numbers and crude rates over the past two decades.

Spirometric Reference Values from a Sample of the General U.S. Population

TL;DR: Hankinson and Odencrantz as mentioned in this paper used a piecewise polynomial model with age and height as predictors to derive reference values for three race/ethnic groups and should prove useful for diagnostic and research purposes.
