Prevalence of Major Comorbidities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Caused by Biomass Smoke or Tobacco

Abstract: Background: Comorbidities are very common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contributing to the overall severity of the disease. The relative prevalence of comorbidities in COPD caused by biomass smoke (B-COPD), compared with COPD related to tobacco (T-COPD), is not well known. Objectives: To establish if both types of COPD are associated with a different risk for several major comorbidities. Method: The prevalence of comorbidities was compared in 863 subjects with B-COPD (n = 179, 20.7%) or T-C… Show more

“…No other significant association was found between other comorbidities. 15 In contrast, Cheng et al found that allergic diseases (such as allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma) were significantly more common in biomass induced COPD in comparison to smoking induced COPD, where lung cancer was more common. There was no significant difference in the cardiac comorbidities such as CAD, HF or arrhythmias.…”

“…This is similar to the study by Golpe et al who showed that biomass fuel induced COPD has slower decline of FEV1 and different distribution of phenotypes in comparison to smoking induced COPD. 15 Similarly, Cheng et al retrospectively analysed 206 patients with tobacco smokeinduced COPD and 81 cases of biomass smoke-induced COPD. They reported that COPD caused by biomass fuel was more common in females, had dyspnoea as more common symptom, had lower BMI and were in Group B or D according to GOLD.…”

“…COPD patients are at increased risk for CVD, and studies that improve insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are warranted [3,[30][31][32]. We hypothesized that platelet-monocyte interaction would be increased in COPD in concurrence with increased platelet activation and platelet hyper-reactivity.…”

“…The epidemiological, clinical and socio-economical impact of comorbidities of COPD has been studied by many 1,2 . Importance of comorbidities in COPD increases due to the fact that COPD is projected to be 3 rd leading cause of death in the world by 2030 and 7 th as a burden of disease 3,4 . COPD can progressively affect functions of multiple organs thus several comorbidities prevail in elderly patients.…”
