COPD: Key Facts and Pathophysiology

COPD encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Main risk factors include tobacco smoking, occupational dust, chemicals, and indoor/outdoor air pollution
Globally, responsible for approximately 3 million deaths annually, with tobacco smoke accounting for 70% of cases in high-income countries
In Canada, prevalence increases steadily with age, higher in males over 60, and highest in NU, YT, NS, and NT
1-3% of COPD cases are caused by an inherited mutation in the α1-antitrypsin gene
Emphysema is characterized by chronic inflammatory condition and destruction of alveolar walls without fibrosis
Chronic bronchitis involves hypersecretion of mucus, chronic cough, and inflammation leading to airway remodeling
Both conditions result in expiratory flow limitation and air trapping, increasing the work of breathing and causing dyspnea
Air trapping and alveolar destruction can lead to ventilation/perfusion mismatches, hypoxia, and hypercapnia
Malnutrition affects 1/3 of COPD patients
Acute exacerbations of COPD can be caused by infections or unknown factors, leading to hospitalizations
Diagnosis involves patient history, blood gas analysis, and functional lung testing with a GOLD definition of chronic obstruction as FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.
