Description
Summary:Background One of the most widespread chronic respiratory disease with rising morbidity and death is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), resulting in enormous societal and economic costs. COPD is a widespread, avoidable, and curable condition characterised by usual symptoms such as dyspnea, coughing, and/or sputum production. The goal of this study was to use a COPD questionnaire to analyse clinical, demographic, and available prescription pattern for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Results Our findings suggest that patients’ early knowledge of COPD risk factors and symptoms and assistance in early illness detection and the provision of patient-centred treatment based on patients’ unique requirements in disease management are all necessary. Conclusion The major objective of COPD management is to control symptoms and limit the risk of exacerbation in order to enhance the quality of life of patients. In addition to pharmaceutical management, achieving these goals necessitates the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and the avoidance of risk factors.
