“…5 We published the clinical, therapeutic features and treatment adherence of newly diagnosed treatment-naïve Turkish asthma and COPD patients in an observational multi-centric cohort study. 6 In this study, since the clinical and demographic characteristics of asthma and COPD patients were presented by comparison, the data of COPD patients could not be presented and discussed in detail. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of COPD patients in this cohort in detail.…”

In order to determine the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of newly diagnosed treatment-naïve asthma and COPD patients in Turkey, a multicenter study in 2012 was initiated. We aimed to investigate the characteristics and therapies of COPD patients in the original study in more detail. Patients and Methods: This nationwide , multicentric, non-interventional, prospective, reallife observational cohort study was conducted in 122 centers. The newly diagnosed patients were not receiving any treatment before the recruitment. Their general characteristics, the combined GOLD 2011 COPD categories and exacerbation histories were noted. The patients were followed up with 3 voluntary visits for 1 year. Their adherence to the inhaled treatment according to GOLD 2011 was evaluated during follow-up visits. Results: The study included 776 COPD patients. Their mean age was 59.4±9.1 years, and 11.9% of the patients were female. 35.1% of the patients were in the GOLD 2011 C and D category. 12.6% are frequent exacerbators, and 52.8% had at least one comorbid condition. 71.8% overtreatment rate was detected. Their attendance rates for three follow-up visits became 55.9%, 32.9% and 18.7%, respectively. The adherence rate to the treatment was measured as 81.9%. Conclusion: Although these patients were diagnosed for the first time, the GOLD C and D categories and frequent exacerbator phenotype were found at a high rate. They were usually prescribed an overtreatment regimen. We think that newly diagnosed COPD patients should be evaluated carefully, and best effort should be made to treat these patients in accordance with the recommendations of the major COPD guidelines.
