HF severity was staged according to the NYHA classification system into Classes I–IV. COPD was diagnosed if the ratio of post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) was <0.70, and categorized in GOLD stages I–IV according to post-...
The current diagnosis and classification of COPD is based mainly on the degree of expiratory flow limitation, which is represented by the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). However, studies have shown that FEV1 alone cannot explain the inherent complexity of the various COPD phenotypes...
Probability of being non-obstructed after 1 year (T1) in relation to a subject’s post-BD FEV1/FVC at baseline T0. The graph shows moving averages based on two consecutive data points (i.e., values for the probabilities in the actual FEV1/FVC bin and the next bin) to ‘smooth’ the...

Classification of severity (derived from the GOLD guidelines [2]) COPD is classified as mild, moderate, severe, or very severe, based on the patient's symptoms, and lung function as assessed by measurement of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) (Table...

The classification of COPD is according to post-bronchodilator FEV1. Post-bronchodilator FEV1 often causes confusion. It means that if patients are using short-acting bronchodilators, the measurement is taken 15 minutes after the administration of 400 microgram salbutamol. If patients are using long-...

Nevertheless, the optimal classification of COPD patients remains far from being considered as elucidated. Each of these parameters highlight different physiological and functional aspects of the disease requiring targeted therapy. The goal of a personalized approach is overcoming the complexity of the ...
