Introduction Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the top five causes of global mortality COPD affects 210 million people worldwide and causes 3 million deaths annually (5% of all deaths worldwide)1 It is predicted to become third leading cause of global mortality by 20302 The economic burden of COPD is high, with costs increasing as the disease progresses - Costs associated with severe COPD are up to 17 times higher than those associated with mild COPD 3 High costs are associated with treatment of exacerbations, such as hospitalisation 3 Indirect costs include loss of productivity in the workplace owing to symptoms 3

What is COPD? Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) defines COPD as (2009): “a preventable and treatable disease with some significant extrapulmonary effects that may contribute to the severity in individual patients. Its pulmonary component is characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious particles or gases” Key points: - COPD is preventable and treatable - Airway limitation is not fully reversible and is usually progressive - Extrapulmonary (systemic) effects play a significant role - Associated with chronic inflammation in response to inhaled noxious irritants
COPD IS CAUSED BY INHALATION OF NOXIOUS SUBSTANCES
Mucociliary Apparatus
COPD has pulmonary and systemic components Inhaled substances + Genetic susceptibility Airway Mucociliary inflammation dysfunction Structural changes Systemic inflammation Airway limitation Breathlessness Bronchitis: coughing, sputum production Emphysema: hyperinflation, wheezing NYC/DAXAS/10/012 Weight changes Co-morbidities (e. g. diabetes, cardiovascular disease)
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF INFLAMMATION IN COPD?
COPD Is a Disease Characterised by Inflammation Cigarette smoke Epithelial cells Monocyte Macrophage/De ndritic cell Proteases Fibroblast Fibrosis Obstructive bronchiolitis Neutrophil CD 8+ Tc cell Emphysema Mucus hypersecretion
Chronic Inflammation plays a central role in COPD Smoke Pollutants Key inflammatory cells Neutrophils Inflammation CD 8+ T-lymphocytes Macrophages Chronic inflammation Structural changes Systemic inflammation Bronchoconstriction, oedema, mucus, emphysema Airflow limitation Acute exacerbation Adapted from Barnes PJ, in Stockley, et al (editors), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

How is COPD diagnosed and managed? NYC/DAXAS/10/012
COPD is diagnosed based on symptoms, risk factors and spirometry SYMPTOMS Cough Sputum production Shortness of breath + RISK FACTORS Tobacco Occupational hazards Indoor/outdoor pollution Spirometry From the Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2009. Available from: http: //www. goldcopd. org. NYC/DAXAS/10/012
Classification of cough • Cough is classified into acute and chronic and • Clinically subdivided into productive and dry cough. Productive cough is present at an expectoration rate of 30 ml/24 hours,
Classification of cough • Acute cough is defined as one lasting less than three weeks • Chronic cough is defined as one lasting greater than eight weeks
Acute Cough. . . < 3 weeks Differential Diagnosis • URTI : Sinusitis viral / bacterial • URTI triggering exacerbations of Chronic Lung Disease eg Asthma; COPD • Pneumonia • Left Ventricular Heart Failure • Foreign Body Aspiration
INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF SEVERITY OF ACUTE ASTHMA IN ADULTS SYMPTOMS SEVERE AND LIFETHREATENING MILD MODERATE Physical Exhaustion No No Yes, may have paradoxical chest wall movement Pulse rate < 100 / min 100 – 120 / min > 120 / min Central cyanosis absent May be present Likely to be present Wheeze intensity variable Moderate Often quiet Peak expiratory flow (% predicted) . 75% 50 – 75% < 50 %
GOALS OF COPD MANAGEMENT – Relieve symptoms – Improve exercise tolerance – Improve health status – Prevent and treat exacerbations – Prevent disease progression – Prevent and treat complications – Reduce mortality Adapted from the Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2009.

What are exacerbations ? NYC/DAXAS/10/012
What are exacerbations? Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) defines an exacerbation as: “an event in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient’s baseline dyspnea, cough, and/or sputum that is beyond normal day-to-day variations, is acute in onset and may warrant a change in regular medication” 1 – May be mild, moderate or severe in nature. More severe exacerbations can require hospitalisation and are associated with a prolonged recovery period 2 – Commonly caused by bacterial/viral infections of the lungs and airways 1 – Associated with increases in markers of inflammation 3, 4 – Distressing for patients and their loved ones
frequent exacerbations drive disease progression Patients with frequent exacerbations Lower quality of life Increased mortality rate Increased inflammation Increased risk of recurrent exacerbations Faster disease progression Adapted from Wedzicha JA et al, 2007; Donaldson GC et al, 2006. NYC/DAXAS/10/012 Increased likelihood of hospitalisation
Cough and sputum production indicate an increased risk of exacerbations Chronic inflammation Chronic cough and sputum Frequent exacerbations Adapted from Burgel PR et al, 2009. NYC/DAXAS/10/012 Number of exacerbations per patient per year – Number of exacerbations 3 2 1 0 Patients WITH chronic cough and sputum p<0. 0001 Patients WITHOUT chronic cough and sputum
Definitions of Exacerbations COPD exacerbations were classified in clinical studies as follows: – ‘Severe’ COPD exacerbation – Requiring hospitalisation and/or leading to death – ‘Moderate’ COPD exacerbation – Initiation of oral or parenteral glucocorticosteroid therapy is required Calverley PMA et al, 2009.

Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction for Emphysema The Concept of lung Volume Reduction • Lung volume Reduction 1. – Removal of the most destroyed hyperinflated poorly perfused areas of the lung can enhance the function of the remaining “normal” lung and leads to func(onal and symptoma(c improvement 2. – Applicable in heterogeneous emphysema (upper lobe predominant) • Multiple retrospective and prospective studies reported success with surgical lung volume reduction
SUMMARY �COPD is a debilitating disease that presents a huge healthcare and economic burden around the world �The major risk factor for developing COPD is tobacco smoking �COPD encompasses damage to the airways, and chronic pulmonary and systemic inflammation �The symptoms of COPD include breathlessness, chronic cough and sputum production
�Chronic inflammation in the airways and systemic circulation contributes to the pathology of COPD �COPD-specific inflammation is characterised by increased neutrophils, CD 8+ T-lymphocytes and macrophages, as well as cytokines and other inflammatory mediators �Inflammatory processes activated in asthma are different from COPD-specific inflammation �Chronic inflammation is present from the onset of COPD and increases with disease progression. Airway inflammation increases during exacerbations �Effective COPD management should include agents that target the chronic inflammation underlying the
Exacerbations are attacks in which symptoms increase beyond daily variations Patients with frequent exacerbations have a poor prognosis and increased risk of mortality Inflammation is increased during exacerbations The symptoms of chronic cough and sputum production are associated with an increased risk of exacerbations Preventing exacerbations is a major goal of COPD management
COPD is diagnosed based on medical history, exposure to risk factors and assessment of lung function by spirometry GOLD guidelines recommend seven goals for COPD management, including reducing the frequency of exacerbations Non-pharmacological management of COPD includes smoking cessation GOLD guidelines recommend stepwise addition of pharmacological treatments based on the severity of
