Asthma and COPD overlap pathophysiology of ACO

Abstract: Asthma and COPD appear as a result of different mechanisms triggered by different pathogeneses and although they present different features and symptoms of airway inflammation and airway obstruction, there are also cases that present the features of both asthma and COPD. This type of pathology is known as asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS). Asthma-COPD overlap is identified in clinical practice by the features that it shares with both asthma and COPD. This is not a definition, but a description for clinical u… Show more

“…ORs were adjusted (aOR) for sex, age, race, calendar year of selection, and measures of socioeconomic status and healthcare utilization (see Tables 2-4 notes for details). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is largely caused by smoking, and there is substantial overlap in symptoms for asthma and COPD (51). We classified participants as having COPD if they had at least 1 inpatient, physician, or outpatient claim with a COPD diagnosis code (ICD-9 496) at any point after study entry.…”

“…In 2014 the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and GOLD Joint Committee came out with the definition: "Asthma-COPD overlap syndrome" (ACOS) is characterised by persistent airflow limitation with several features usually associated with asthma and several features usually associated with COPD. It is therefore identified by the features that it shares with both asthma and COPD" 40 . Subsequently, the term "syndrome" came to be considered inappropriate in this context.…”

“…Asthma-COPD overlap is therefore identified in clinical practice by the features that it shares with both asthma and COPD. This is not a definition, but a description for clinical use, as ACO includes several different clinical phenotypes and there are likely to be several different underlying mechanisms" 40 .…”
