This activity is supported by an independent educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Learning Objectives Review evidence-based strategies for screening, diagnosis, and assessment of COPD. Describe the most current guideline recommendations for the pharmacologic treatment of COPD, including agents discussed in the guidelines. Describe the most current guideline recommendations for the nonpharmacologic treatment of COPD. Recognize acute exacerbations of COPD. Discuss strategies for promoting patient adherence to COPD therapy. 1

2 COPD Guidelines Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2018 Global Strategy for Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of COPD 2018 GOLD Pocket Guide COPD Diagnosis and Management At-A-Glance Desk Reference Asthma, COPD, and Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome Spirometry Guide COPD A common, preventable, and treatable disease Characterized by persistent airflow limitation Typically progressive Associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lung due to noxious particles or gases Exacerbations and comorbidities contribute to the overall severity in individual patients COPD Common symptoms: Progressive dyspnea Cough Sputum production Symptoms are often underreported! Associated with significant comorbidities Increase morbidity and mortality May have periods of worsening baseline symptoms Important to prevent exacerbations 2

3 US Burden of COPD Age-adjusted death rates for the 10 leading causes of death in 2016: United States, 2015 and 2016 Prevalence of COPD among adults aged 18 years, 2014 Cause of Death Number* Heart disease Cancer Unintentional injuries 47.4 Chronic lower respiratory diseases 40.6 Stroke 37.3 Alzheimer s disease 30.3 Diabetes 21.0 Influenza and pneumonia 13.5 Kidney disease 13.1 Intentional Self Harm (Suicide) 13.5 *Deaths per 100,000 U.S. standard population Kochanek KD, et al. Mortality in the United States, NCHS Data Brief, no 293. Hyattsville, MD: National Center for Health Statistics (Data source: CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System [BRFSS], 2014.) Global Burden of COPD Estimated global prevalence: 11.7% 3 million deaths annually The prevalence of COPD is expected to rise over the next 30 years due to: Increasing prevalence of smoking in developing countries Aging populations in high-income countries By 2030, a predicted 4.5 million COPD-related deaths will occur annually COPD imparts a significant economic burden COPD is Underrecognized and Underdiagnosed! 3

4 Risk Factors for COPD Tobacco smoke Greater exposure = greater risk Air pollution Indoor Biomass fuels/coal Outdoor Occupational dust and chemicals Genes Respiratory infections Asthma and airway hyperreactivity Socioeconomic status Gender Age Women develop COPD at a younger age Are less likely to be diagnosed with COPD than men when presenting with the same symptoms Are more likely to die from COPD than men COPD in Women American Lung Association.

I walk slower than people of the same age on the level because of breathlessness or have to stop for breath when walking at my own pace on the level. I stop for breath after walking about 100 yards or after a few minutes on the level. I am too breathless to leave the house. or I am breathless when dressing mmrc = Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale 6

7 COPD Assessment Test (CAT) I have no phlegm (mucus) in my chest at all My chest does not feel tight at all When I walk up a hill or one flight of stairs I am not breathless I am not limited doing any activities at home I am confident leaving my home despite my lung condition I sleep soundly I have lots of energy My chest is completely full of phlegm (mucus) My chest feels very tight When I walk up a hill or one flight of stairs I am very breathless I am very limited doing any activities at home I am not at all confident leaving my home despite my lung condition I don t sleep soundly because of my lung condition I have no energy at all Total Score: Diagnosis of COPD Spirometry is required to make the diagnosis of COPD.

Spirometry FVC (forced vital capacity): Maximum volume of air that can be exhaled during a forced maneuver FEV 1 (forced expired volume in one second): Volume expired in the first second of maximal expiration after a maximal inspiration. This is a measure of how quickly the lungs can be emptied. FEV 1 /FVC: FEV 1 expressed as a percentage of the FVC, gives a clinically useful index of airflow limitation 7

18 Additional Recommendations by Group Patient Group Essential Recommended A Smoking cessation Physical activity Flu and pneumonia vaccines B-D Smoking cessation Pulmonary rehabilitation Physical activity Acute Exacerbations Potential Causes of Exacerbations Respiratory viral infections or (less often) bacterial infections Environmental factors Pollution Ambient temperature Short-term exposure to fine particulate matter 18

19 Prevention of Exacerbations Prevention of exacerbations is key Lung function may never recover to baseline Frequent exacerbators have worse outcome and morbidity Available tools to help prevent exacerbations: Pharmacotherapy Patient education Vaccinations Pulmonary rehabilitation Corbridge S, et al. Am J Nurse. 2012;112(3): Recognizing Acute Exacerbations Defined as an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms that result in additional therapy Associated with increased airway inflammation, increased mucus production, and marked gas trapping Symptoms include: Dyspnea Increased sputum purulence and volume Increased cough and wheeze Symptoms typically last 7-10 days, but may last longer 20% of patients have not recovered to their preexacerbation state at 8 weeks When to Hospitalize Potential indications for hospital assessment: Severe symptoms Sudden worsening of resting dyspnea High respiratory rate Decreased oxygen saturation Confusion and/or drowsiness Acute respiratory failure Onset of new physical signs (eg, peripheral edema) Failure of an exacerbation to respond to initial medical management Presence of serious comorbidities (eg, heart failure, newly occurring arrhythmias, etc.) Insufficient home support 19

20 Management of Exacerbations Pharmacotherapy and optimizing oxygenation and ventilation are cornerstones of management More than 80% of patients can be treated at home Treatment options: Bronchodilators Glucocorticoids Antibiotics Respiratory support GOLD Recommendations for Management of Exacerbations GOLD Recommendation SABA with or without short-acting anticholinergics are recommended as the initial bronchodilators to treat an acute exacerbations Systemic corticosteroids can improve lung function (FEV1), oxygenation, and shorten recovery time and hospitalization duration. Duration of therapy should not be more than 5-7 days Antibiotics, when indicated, can shorten recovery time, reduce the risk of early relapse, treatment failure, and hospitalization duration. Duration of therapy should not be more than 5-7 days Methylxanthines are not recommended due to increased side effect profiles Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) should be the first mode of ventilation used in COPD patients with acute respiratory failure who have no absolute contraindication Evidence Category A = Randomized controlled trials, rich body of high quality evidence without any significant limitation or bias; B = Randomized controlled trials with important limitations, limited body of evidence; C = non-randomized trials, observational studies C A B B A Summary COPD is a major source of morbidity and mortality in the US and worldwide Chronically underreported Exacerbations and comorbidities negatively impact prognosis Diagnose by symptoms and exposure Use spirometry to confirm Assess patient impact CAT, MMRC, CCQ Use the GOLD ABCD assessment tool 20

21 Summary Use both pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment options to manage COPD Prevent exacerbations Assess inhaler technique Assess patient adherence Most acute exacerbations can be managed at home Know when to hospitalize patients 21
