Effectiveness of a COPD Action Plan in Reducing Exacerbations and Improving Lung Function: A Prospective Study

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) continues to be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The Global Initiative on Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2024 update defines COPD as the third cause of death in the world [1]. Asthma attacks often mark the clinical course, increasing the rate of lung depletion and raising healthcare expenses [1].
