“…These studies have found between 25 and 34% of the study populations to have undiagnosed COPD. [9,16] This is not consistent with the findings of this study where a considerably smaller proportion the examined patients were diagnosed with COPD. There are several possible explanations of this.…”

“…There are several possible explanations of this. In the study by Kart et al [16] examining outpatients and patients hospitalized for elective treatment, a considerably larger proportion of the study population were able to participate in spirometry; in the study by Nielsen et al [9] all inpatients were examined, and in neither of these studies the study populations were followed up in stable state. In fact, in this study a larger proportion of the study population had airflow obstruction at the initial examination than in the above-mentioned studies.…”

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is very prevalent worldwide, yet underdiagnosed. Aim: This study investigates feasibility of performing spirometry in patients in need of acute hospital admission as well as the prevalence of undiagnosed COPD in the same cohort. Methods: During a two-week period, all patients admitted to three large acute assessment units were evaluated. Patients ≥ 18 years, able to perform spirometry, with no surgery to the thorax or abdomen within the last weeks and no known COPD was included. Patients with FEV1/FEV6 ≤ 0.7 or FEV1 < 80% or FEV6 < 80% were offered follow-up visit after 6 weeks. Results: Of the 1145 admitted patients, 46% were eligible: 28% of those had an abnormal spirometry. The offered follow-up visit was attended by 51% and in this group 17% were diagnosed with lung disease. COPD was the most prevalent diagnosis (73%), and 2/3 was in GOLD group A. In total, 75% of the patients with airflow obstruction at the initial examination remained obstructive. Conclusion: Performing spirometry in patients in need of acute hospital admission is feasible, abnormal findings are common, and COPD is the most prevalent diagnosis.

“…A third, more modest, study of 215 patients admitted to hospital (28% diagnosed with COPD) observed no differences in the number of multimorbidities between patients with and without COPD. However, gastrointestinal, haematological and uro-nephrological disorders were more prevalent in patients with COPD and their hospital stay was longer [3]. Finally, a landmark study of the role played by multimorbidities in systemic inflammation in 213 patients with COPD, after excluding active inflammatory disease, did not make any reference to IBD or hepatic diseases [4].…”

This review is devoted to the distinct associations of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and chronic liver disorders with chronic airway diseases, namely chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma, and other chronic respiratory disorders in the adult population. While there is strong evidence for the association of chronic airway diseases with IBD, the data are much weaker for the interplay between lung and liver multimorbidities. The association of IBD, encompassing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with pulmonary disorders is underlined by their heterogeneous respiratory manifestations and impact on chronic airway diseases. The potential relationship between the two most prevalent liver-induced pulmonary vascular entities, i.e. portopulmonary hypertension and hepatopulmonary syndrome, and also between liver disease and other chronic respiratory diseases is also approached. Abnormal lung function tests in liver diseases are described and the role of increased serum bilirubin levels on chronic respiratory problems are considered. @ERSpublications Lung-gut cross-talk: the association of IBD with respiratory multimorbitidies, including COPD and bronchial asthma

“…There is growing clinical interest in secondary organ manifestations of chronic respiratory diseases and respiratory viral infections are often accompanied by intestinal symptoms [2][3][4][5][6] . Gastro-intestinal (GI) disease is more prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than in healthy populations 7,8 . A population-based cohort showed a 2.72 times higher risk of Crohn's disease in COPD sufferers than that in healthy controls 9 .…”

The gut and lung microbiota are essential to health and vital for the development of the immune system and homeostasis. The vital cross-talk between mucosal tissues of our body in chronic respiratory conditions as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis in stable conditions as well as during exacerbations is still poorly studied and understood. The gut-lung interaction and the dysbiosis of microbiota and leaky guts in the aetiology of these chronic respiratory diseases are reviewed.
