Global Burden of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Through 2050.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory condition that is associated with significant health and economic burden worldwide. Previous studies assessed the global current-day prevalence of COPD, but to better facilitate resource planning and intervention development, long-term projections are needed.

Objective

To assess the global burden of COPD through 2050, considering COPD risk factors.

Design, setting, and participants

In this modeling study, historical data on COPD prevalence was extracted from a recent meta-analysis on 2019 global COPD prevalence, and 2010 to 2018 historical prevalence was estimated using random-effects meta-analytical models. COPD risk factor data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease database.
