“…Despite the age difference, the severity of pulmonary obstruction found in our study is similar to that of the study by Almagro et al 16 at GOLD 3. While a study by Yamasaki et al 4 at the Tottori University Hospital, Japan, had COPD patients with GOLD 1 as the most frequent patients' severity.…”

“…This is similar to the national survey which found COPD prevalence in male (5.3%) to be greater than female (1.4%). 8 Same results are shown in the studies by Almagro et al 16 (353 of 398 subjects) and Yamasaki et al 4 (462 of 608 subjects). One explanation may be that cigarette smoking as a risk factor of COPD is more common in male than female.…”

“…13 Most COPD patients found in our study aged 60 or younger. It is younger than that found by Almagro et al 16 where the COPD patients aged between 70-80 years old. It might be due to the fact that we recruited patients' medical records at an outpatient while the other study at an inpatient clinic.…”

“…7 The type of comorbidities that frequently occurred in this study was hypertension, as corroborated by other studies except a study by Ekstrom et al 17 in Sweden where heart failure is the most common comorbidity. 8,9,15,16 contractively, the Swedish National Oxygen Register, as explained in their paper, found a high sensitivity and specificity for cardiovascular disease but low sensitivity for less serious and less acute condition such as hypertension. 17 The exact mechanism linking hypertension and COPD has not yet known.…”

“…10 Furthermore, hypertension could happened because of insulin resistance which related with chronic systemic inflammation. 18 Almagro et al 16 in his study once said that there was a different distribution of comorbidities in male and female COPD patients. In this study, hypertension is commonly found in male subjects.…”

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease that becomes one of the leading causes of death in the world. The COPD is usually accompanied by comorbidities that impact prognosis and increase patients' expenses. However, the comorbidities of COPD patients have not yet to be known in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. This study was aimed to determine the frequency, type and number of comorbidities accompanying COPD. Methods: This study was a retrospective, cross-sectional study at the respirology and critical care outpatient clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia in 2012. Data were obtained from medical records of patients diagnosed with COPD and had an obstructive pulmonary function test result. Sampling technique in this study was total sampling. Data were classified by age, gender, smoking history and severity of disease and were analyzed to determine the frequency, type and number of comorbidities accompanying COPD. Results: Thirty eight COPD patients with obstructive pulmonary function test results were analyzed. It consists of 31 males and 7 females with age ranged between 43-82 years and median age of 64 years. Severe obstruction was found in 15 of 38 patients. Comorbidities were found in 26 patients, and 2 patients had up to four comorbidities. The most common comorbidity was hypertension (9 of 38). Conclusions:The majority of COPD patients had comorbidities and the most frequent comorbidity was hypertension. [AMJ. 2017;4(1):30-5]

Physical and psychological illnesses co-occur more often than not in clinical populations, and this co-occurrence is associated with greater impairment, lower adherence, poor treatment response, lower quality of life, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortality rates. This book is the first comprehensive resource regarding psychological co-morbidities of physical illness. It serves as both a handbook for clinicians who care for patients with co-morbidities as well as a call for research that increases our understanding of the connection between physical and psychological illness, with the ultimate goal of improving the health of people with psychological disorders.A constellation of behavioral, pharmacological, and physiological factors play a role in the increased risk for disease among individuals with psychological disorders. Behavioral factors include higher rates of smoking, obesity, and unhealthy behaviors. Psychopharmacology has also been implicated given that many drugs promote weight gain and metabolic syndrome. Physiological processes of psychological distress, including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction, inflammation, and autonomic dysfunction, can also manifest in the development of chronic disease. In addition to identifying the most prevalent psychological co-morbidities of physical illness, this book explores how behavioral, pharmacological, and physiological factors converge to put individuals with psychological disorders at greater risk for disease.This book is firmly rooted in the philosophy of evidence-based practice and was designed to help narrow the existing research to practice gap. One of the most commonly cited reasons by clinicians for not using evidence-based treatments is that randomized clinical trials do not reflect their consumers who have multiple co-morbidities. Traditionally, randomized clinical trials, by having a disease-specific focus...

Comorbidity and gender-related differences in patients hospitalized for COPD. The ECCO study

Abstract: Comorbidities are common in patients hospitalized for a COPD exacerbation, but their relative distribution varies by gender. The exclusive use of the Charlson index underestimates comorbidities in COPD patients.
