Evaluation of COPD progression based on spirometry and exercise capacity
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by an airflow limitation that is usually progressive.The progression of COPD expressed as the rate of an annual decline in FEV1 is very heterogeneous. Exercise capacityin COPD patients is often diminished and becomes worsened over the time.The purpose of the study was to examine how the change in FEV1 and exercise capacity would deteriorate over long-termobservation.
