OVERALL KEY POINTS: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases.
The Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Criteria for COPD assesses different stages of COPD and provides treatment recommendations.
15 Μαΐ 2023 · What Is the GOLD System for Grading COPD? The GOLD system bases the stage of your COPD on several things: Your symptoms; How many times your COPD has gotten worse
The GOLD 2018 document states that the treatment goals for COPD are symptom reduction (including improved exercise capacity and overall health status) as well as risk reduction for adverse outcomes (symptom progression, exacerbations, and mortality).
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) represents an important public health challenge and is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. COPD is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the world1 but is projected to be the 3rd leading cause of death by 2020.
The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) system categorises airflow limitation into stages. In patients with FEV₁/FVC <0.7: GOLD 1 - mild: FEV₁ ≥80% predicted. GOLD 2 - moderate: 50% ≤ FEV₁ <80% predicted. GOLD 3 - severe: 30% ≤ FEV₁ <50% predicted. GOLD 4 - very severe: FEV₁ <30% predicted.
