International trends in COPD mortality, 1995–2017

Abstract: Since 2016, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been the third-leading cause of death worldwide, with an estimated 3 million deaths (5.3% of all deaths), but with large regional variations [1]. Observed data from high-income countries (HICs) [2-5] and modelled data in two global studies [6,7] have reported declines in COPD mortality rates since the 1990s. Globally, since 2006, modelled COPD mortality rates decreased by 21% [8]. Yet, little is known about observed trends in COPD mortality in Latin … Show more

“… 14 Some differences have also been found in COPD-related mortality across European countries and between men and women. 15 Overall, regarding European countries, COPD-related mortality rates appeared to decline in men in most countries from 1995 to 2017, whereas mortality rates due to COPD increased in women from +2% per year in Austria to +4.2% or+4.8% per year in the Czech Republic and Hungary, respectively. 15 …”

“…Despite proper treatment, some patients continue to experience frequent exacerbations with progressive loss of lung function which eventually leads to disability and premature mortality. Since 2010, COPD has become the third leading cause of death, with mortality rate up to 141 per 100,000 person-years, in some countries [3]. The presence of different clinical phenotypes of COPD with corresponding underlying pathogenesis implies the urge for a personalized approach in disease management and the discovery of novel pharmacological targets [4].…”

“…Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is among the most common causes of death worldwide ( 1 ). Despite decreasing mortality rates in some Western countries, the global mortality attributable to COPD has continued to rise over the last decades ( 2 ). Cardiovascular comorbidities are among the most relevant drivers of mortality in patients with COPD ( 3 , 4 ).…”
