Moreover, in the general adult population sample living in North Italy, airway obstruction (computed using the GOLD criterion) was present in 18.3%, varying from 9.9% (25-45 years) to 28.7% (> 45 years) [9].The growing burden of COPD is mainly due to the aging of the world's ...

However, the prognosis of patients varies in a given GOLD category (in terms of response to treatment, mortality, etc.), introducing the concept of phenotype. These recent data suggest that a change in patients'assessment and an increased knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms are needed ...
Triple therapy is recommended by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) for patients who experience recurrent exacerbations despite treatment with either a dual bronchodilator or LABA/ICS combination. There is consistent evidence that the LABA/LAMA/ICS combination has ...
In the GOLD guidelines the TB is only reported amongst COPD risk factors. By analysing what already available in the literature, delving into the pathogenetic mechanisms of TB-induced permanent bronchial obstruction, identifying risk factors common to COPD and TB, and the cl...

For the diagnosis and assessment of COPD, spirometry is the gold standard (postbronchodilator FEV1/FVC less than 70%). The ATS/ERS definition of an obstructive pulmonary defect contrasts with the definitions suggested by clinical guidelines, in that FEV1 is related to VC rather than FVC and the...
The international GOLD document initially recommends the use of a single bronchodilator and the subsequent passage, in case the control of symptoms and/or exacerbations is not optimal, to a dual therapy in fixed combination of LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS. For patients treated with ...
