TLDR
All adult smokers should have a spirometry testing and counseled to stop smoking.Abstract:
This cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and identify determinants of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among a convenience sample of 325 adult smokers in Baghdad, Iraq, 2014. Beside demographic variables, participants had Lung Function Questionnaire to assess respiratory symptoms; individuals with a score of ≤18 had a spirometry examination. Those with FEV1/FVC ratio 55 (OR=2.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.04-4.39), and pack year smoking >40 (OR =5.37, 95% confidence interval = 1.70-16.91) were the significant independent determinants. All adult smokers should have a spirometry testing and counseled to stop smoking.read more

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: With more than three-quarters of global COPD cases in LMICs, tackling this chronic condition is a major and increasing challenge for health systems in these settings, and achieving a substantial reduction in the burden of COPD globally might remain a difficult task.

TL;DR: A summary measure, disability-adjusted life yrs (DALYs), has been developed to simultaneously measure the amount of disease burden due to premature mortality and the amount due to the nonfatal consequences of disease.
Journal Article
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease surveillance--United States, 1971-2000.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present national data regarding objectively determined COPD (1971-1994), COPD-associated activity and functional limitations (1980-1996), self-reported COPD prevalence, COPD physician office and hospital outpatient department visits, and COPD hospitalizations, and deaths.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease surveillance--United States, 1971-2000.
TL;DR: The proportion of the population aged < 55 years with mild or moderate COPD, on the basis of pulmonary function testing, decreased from 1971-1975 to 1988-1994, possibly indicating that the upward trends in COPD hospitalizations and mortality might not continue.

TL;DR: COPD is a very frequent disease in Spain, and presents significant geographic variations and a very low level of previous diagnosis and treatment, even in the most advanced cases.

TL;DR: The large majority of subjectsHaving COPD were symptomatic, while the proportion of those diagnosed as having COPD or similar diagnoses was small, and the absolutely dominating risk factors were increasing age and smoking.
