Definition of COPD
n COPD, a common preventable and treatable
disease, is characterized by persistent airflow
limitation that is usually progressive and
associated with an enhanced chronic
inflammatory response in the airways and the
lung to noxious particles or gases.
n Exacerbations and comorbidities contribute to
the overall severity in individual patients.

Burden of COPD
COPD is a leading cause of morbidity and
mortality worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) projected that, in 2005, chronic respiratory disease
would be the third-leading cause of deaths from chronic disease worldwide

Use history of exacerbations and spirometry.
Two exacerbations or more within the last year
or an FEV1 < 50 % of predicted value are
indicators of high risk. Hospitalization for a COPD
exacerbation associated with increased risk of death.

When assessing risk, choose the highest risk
according to GOLD grade or exacerbation
history. One or more hospitalizations for COPD
exacerbations should be considered high risk.)

The UPLIFT Lesson
Similar to the overall cohort, 4 years treatment with tiotropium
provided the following benefits in the subgroup of COPD
patients from Asia (Improved lung function, Improved HRQoL,
Reduced exacerbations)
These data indicate that tiotropium may be used in patients
from Asia in accordance with current international treatment
guidelines
Tiotropium is beneficial to COPD patients of various severities
(GOLD stages II to IV) and has clearly demonstrated benefit to
GOLD stage II patients

Mortality
Systemic inflammation increases during ECOPD potential mechanism to
explain the increased risk of vascular events
Plasma levels of the cardiac biomarkers NT-proBNP and troponin T were
abnormal in a significant number of ECOPD patients hospitalized both
markers predicted mortality
Patients with COPD had increased circulating platelete-monocyte
aggregates further increased during ECOPD
