Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD), a common preventable and treatable disease, is characterised by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. Exacerbations and comorbidities contribute to the overall severity in individual patients.
