Changes in the prevalence of COPD in Korea between 2001 and 2011 in the KNHANES data

Abstract: We report a reduction in the age-standardized prevalence of COPD in Korea from 2001 to 2011. Continued surveillance and early prevention are required because the socioeconomic burden of COPD remains substantial.

“…The prevalence of COPD in China we report in our study (13·6% in 2014-15) is higher than the global estimate of the prevalence of COPD (11·7% in 2010). 23 Compared with other studies using the same diagnostic 24 and Japan (13·6% in 2005), 25 higher than the estimate from South Korea (12·4% in 2011), 26 and lower than estimates in three Latin American cities in the PLATINO study (São Paulo in Brazil, Santiago in Chile, and Montevideo in Uruguay [14·8-19·7%]). 18 The GOLD criteria we used in our study apply a fixed ratio of FEV 1 :FVC of less than 70% for a diagnosis of COPD.…”

“…We gathered data on adult patients with bronchiectasis (age ≥18) who were prescribed LAMA, LABA, or both between January 2008 and December 2018 at Asan Medical Center, a tertiary referral hospital in Seoul, Korea. We extracted data from patients diagnosed as bronchiectasis with CT scan and we excluded patients diagnosed with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have been found to benefit from using long-acting bronchodilators (7); moreover, we excluded patients with a history of cigarette smoking, even 1 pack year, which is the most important cause of COPD in South Korea (8). We also performed a subgroup analysis by excluding patients who received concurrent treatment such as antibiotics, systemic steroids, or mucolytics, all of which affect lung function by improving mucociliary clearance and reducing chronic bronchial infection and inflammation (1,5).…”

“…According to the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database, the total cost of COPD-related medications in Korea rose 33.1% over 5 years [40]. Hong et al said that constant monitoring and prevention are needed because of the substantial socioeconomic burden of COPD [41]. Third, unlike previous studies that investigated the effects of only one type of beverage on COPD [4,8], this study considered three different beverages; soda, coffee, and green tea, simultaneously.…”
