Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airflow limitation and airway obstruction. COPD often co-exists with other systemic diseases that have an effect on the acute exacerbation, poor prognosis and increasing mortality in COPD patients. Thus, studying the comorbidities of COPD is of great significance for improving patients’ quality of life and prognosis. We reviewed the incidence, mechanism and treatment of COPD-associated comorbidities in order to provide further understanding of the diseases.
