“…Another survey carried out in 2020 on the management of COPD patients by Danish general practitioners highlights that the support for COPD maintenance provided by GPs seems to be inadequate concerning smoking cessation and physical activity. In addition, some GPs have expressed a need for educational support in the management of COPD [6]. The purpose of our work is precise to confirm the latter finding, shedding light on the important gaps in the Italian national health system in general practice on the management of the diagnostic-therapeutic pathway of chronic obstructive diseases.…”

The study is an independent retrospective cohort study, the data used were collected after obtaining informed consent from patients and were conducted anonymously online. The study was conducted on a heterogeneous population of patients with chronic obstructive respiratory disease (200 survey responses) who were attending the outpatient pneumology clinic "La Madonnina" based in Reggio Calabria, Italy from May 2021 until May 2022. The survey included ten multiple-choice questions with a single answer allowed and in some questions also the possibility of writing comments, carried out through the Survey Monkey digital platform. The objectives of the study are: 1. To identify the prevalence of symptoms perceived by patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD and asthma), 2. The role of the Respiratory Medicine Specialist and General Practitioner in the management of these diseases. 3. The emerging figure of self-management of these diseases is indirectly indicative of a high degree of depression in the population with these diseases, which is still poorly known and addressed by Italian general practitioners. The extrapolated data from the online survey, indicate that there is to date a prevalence of Asthma versus COPD, confirming that the prevalent common symptom is dyspnea, also clarifies that the management of the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway of chronic respiratory diseases is of specialist relevance; the prescribed therapies act mainly on the symptom dyspnea (25.36%).
