Abstract
Summary. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide resulting in significant everincreasing economic and social burden. Treatment of patients with COPD should take into account clinical characteristics, frequency of exacerbations and quality of life of the patient and the treatment cost. The objective of this study was to evaluate quality of life of patients with COPD 3 stage GOLD with frequent exacerbations receiving different regimens of maintenance therapy. The results showed that in patients with COPD 3 stage GOLD with frequent exacerbations inhaled steroids did not influence on the quality of life and did not have any advantage over combined therapy with long-acting bronchodilators. Further research is needed to estimate the effect of inhaled steroids on frequency of exacerbations.
