Research priorities to address the global burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the next decade.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has increased markedly in recent decades. Given the scarcity of resources available to address global health challenges and respiratory medicine being relatively under-invested in, it is important to define research priorities for COPD globally. In this paper, we aim to identify a ranked set of COPD research priorities that need to be addressed in the next 10 years to substantially reduce the global impact of COPD.

Methods

We adapted the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) methodology to identify global COPD research priorities.

Results

62 experts contributed 230 research ideas, which were scored by 34 researchers according to six pre-defined criteria: answerability, ef
