The purpose of this study is determine the prevalence of undiagnosed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in population served and with exposure to cigarettes in the Region of Murcia

Read the detailed description

COPD is a serious, chronic and very disabling, associated with smoking and aging. Therefore it is a preventable and treatable process. It is know to be a pathology under diagnosed and when diagnosis, this is done in advanced stage, resulting to rise to more complication and more severe, in a addition to a high social and economic cost.

Therefore, take out an epidemiological study, observational, multicentre, whose main objective is estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed COPD in population served between 40 and 70 years and exposure to cigarettes in the Region of Murcia.

Other objectives are estimate the proportion of patients already diagnosed, identifying risk factors associated with not previous diagnosis of COPD and describe the history of symptoms in them. Description of therapeutic manage and motivation to give up smoking.
