“…In 2014, smoking prevalence reduced to 10.8% (95% CI: 10.1–11.4%) in Brazilian capitals [ 33 ].

This finding could be also related to improved data capture as completeness and quality of reporting is better in those states [ 7 ].…”

“…The latest statistics from COPD identify a gradual decline in some parts of the world in relation to morbidity and mortality. However, in Brazil, we found that the prevalence among adults and the elderly is significant (19%), which implies large economic and social expenditures, such as hospitalizations [46][47][48] . In the US, each exacerbation costs $88 to $7,757 19 .…”
