New concept and algorithm for the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract
Currently, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global problem and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. COPD therapy includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches that can significantly reduce clinical symptoms and decrease the frequency of exacerbations of the disease. Methods. The updates of guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of COPD is expected to have a significant impact on patients with COPD in clinical practice. Simplification of the treatment algorithms and inclusion of triple therapy will help clinicians provide appropriate and timely treatment to patients with COPD with a focus on reducing the risk of future exacerbations. Recognition of mortality reduction as a treatment goal in COPD supports the increased use of triple therapy, the only pharmacologic intervention shown to improve survival in patients with COPD. Conclusion. Although further guidance and clarification are needed in some areas, such as the use of blood eosinophil count in treatment decisions and the implementation of post-hospitalizaton treatment protocols, the recent guideline updates will help clinicians address current gaps in patient care.
