TLDR
It is recommended that spirometry is required for the clinical diagnosis of COPD to avoid misdiagnosis and to ensure proper evaluation of severity of airflow limitation.Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major public health problem. It is the fourth leading cause of chronic morbidity and mortality in the United States, and is projected to rank fifth in 2020 in burden of disease worldwide, according to a study published by the World Bank/World Health Organization. Yet, COPD remains relatively unknown or ignored by the public as well as public health and government officials. In 1998, in an effort to bring more attention to COPD, its management, and its prevention, a committed group of scientists encouraged the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the World Health Organization to form the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). Among the important objectives of GOLD are to increase awareness of COPD and to help the millions of people who suffer from this disease and die prematurely of it or its complications. The first step in the GOLD program was to prepare a consensus report, Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of COPD, published in 2001. The present, newly revised document follows the same format as the original consensus report, but has been updated to reflect the many publications on COPD that have appeared. GOLD national leaders, a network of international experts, have initiated investigations of the causes and prevalence of COPD in their countries, and developed innovative approaches for the dissemination and implementation of COPD management guidelines. We appreciate the enormous amount of work the GOLD national leaders have done on behalf of their patients with COPD. Despite the achievements in the 5 years since the GOLD report was originally published, considerable additional work is ahead of us if we are to control this major public health problem. The GOLD initiative will continue to bring COPD to the attention of governments, public health officials, health care workers, and the general public, but a concerted effort by all involved in health care will be necessary.read more

Impairments in balance discriminate fallers from non-fallers in COPD.
TL;DR: Standard clinical balance measures discriminate self-reported fallers from non-fallers among patients with COPD, drawing attention to an important secondary impairment in COPD.

TL;DR: Overweight and obese patients should be encouraged to lose weight to reduce their risk of developing respiratory diseases or improve the course of pre-existing conditions.

Reported Pneumonia in Patients With COPD: Findings From the INSPIRE Study
Peter M.A. Calverley,Robert A. Stockley,Terence A. R. Seemungal,Gerry Hagan,Lisa R. Willits,John H. Riley,Jadwiga A. Wedzicha +6 more
TL;DR: The excess of events with ICS treatment appears to be associated with protracted symptomatic exacerbations, and earlier identification and treatment of these events to prevent pneumonia merits further investigation.

Behavioral and structural differences in migrating peripheral neutrophils from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Elizabeth Sapey,James Stockley,Hannah Greenwood,Ali Ahmad,Darren L. Bayley,Janet M. Lord,Robert H. Insall,Robert A. Stockley +7 more
TL;DR: COPD neutrophils are intrinsically different than cells from other studied populations in their chemotactic behavior and migratory structure and differences are not due to surface expression of chemoattractant receptors but instead appear to be due to differences in cell signaling.

TL;DR: These projections represent a set of three visions of the future for population health, based on certain explicit assumptions, which enable us to appreciate better the implications for health and health policy of currently observed trends, and the likely impact of fairly certain future trends.
