Prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

N R Anthonisen, E C Wright, J E Hodgkin

    The American Review of Respiratory Disease
    |January 1, 1986

    Summary

    Age and initial FEV1 predict mortality in COPD patients. Bronchodilator response and exercise tolerance also influence survival, offering insights into disease progression and management strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Clinical Research
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major health concern.
    • Understanding prognostic factors is crucial for managing COPD patients.
    • Previous studies have identified various predictors of mortality in COPD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify predictors of mortality in a large cohort of COPD patients without hypoxemia.
    • To investigate the relationship between lung function, exercise tolerance, and survival.
    • To examine factors influencing the rate of lung function decline in COPD.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruitment of 985 COPD patients without hypoxemia.
    • Standardized treatment and close follow-up for approximately 3 years.
    • Comprehensive baseline characterization including symptom severity, lung function (FEV1, TLC), exercise tolerance, and quality of life.
    • Repeated lung function studies during follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • Overall 3-year mortality was 23%.
    • Patient age and initial FEV1 were the strongest predictors of death.
    • Bronchodilator response was linked to survival when pre-bronchodilator FEV1 was used, but not post-bronchodilator FEV1.
    • After adjusting for age and FEV1, mortality was weakly associated with TLC, heart rate, perceived disability, and exercise tolerance.
    • Mortality rates were comparable to hypoxemic COPD patients receiving oxygen therapy.
    • Average FEV1 decline was -44 ml/yr, with lower initial FEV1 associated with slower decline (survivor effect).

    Conclusions:

    • Age and baseline FEV1 are key determinants of survival in COPD.
    • Bronchodilator reversibility and exercise capacity provide additional prognostic information.
    • Understanding these factors can aid in risk stratification and personalized management of COPD.
