LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACT: Phenotypes of COPD in central and Eastern Europe - The POPE study

2015

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a major health problem in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. However, data regarding symptom load and clinical phenotypes of patients with COPD in CEE remain largely unknown. Methods: Participation in the POPE Study (a multicentre, observational cross-sectional survey) was offered to consecutive outpatients with stable COPD in 11 CEE countries if they fulfilled the following criteria: age ≥ 40 years, smoking history ≥ 10 pack-years, post-bronchodilator (BD) FEV 1 /FVC Results: 3504 patients (66 ± 8.7 yrs, 69% male, post-BD FEV 1 53.0 ± 17.5% predicted, Charlson comorbidity index 2.0 ± 1.4, and 1.2 ± 1.6 exacerb…

CAT in COPD phenotypes (POPE study)

2016

Background: The COPD assessment test (CAT) is widely used for basic symptom evaluation in patients with COPD. The impact of COPD phenotypes on symptom scores using the CAT, however, remains largely unknown. Methods: The POPE-Study (NCT02119494) is an international, multicentre, observational cross-sectional survey of consecutive patients with COPD in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Respiratory symptoms using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale, and the CAT were recorded. Inclusion criteria: age ≥ 40 years, smoking history ≥ 10 pack-years, post-bronchodilator (BD) FEV1/FVC Results: 3366 COPD subjects (66 ± 8.8 yrs, post-BD FEV1 52.8 ± 18.5 % predicted, CAT 17.4 ± 7.…

Phenotypes of COPD patients with a smoking history in Central and Eastern Europe: the POPE Study.

2017

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a major health problem in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries; however, there are no data regarding clinical phenotypes of these patients in this region.Participation in the Phenotypes of COPD in Central and Eastern Europe (POPE) study was offered to stable patients with COPD in a real-life setting. The primary aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of phenotypes according to predefined criteria. Secondary aims included analysis of differences in symptom load, comorbidities and pharmacological treatment.3362 patients with COPD were recruited in 10 CEE countries. 63% of the population were nonexacerbators, 20.4% frequen…

Determinants of CAT (COPD Assessment Test) scores in a population of patients with COPD in central and Eastern Europe: The POPE study

2019

Abstract Background The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) has been proposed to help guide therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is important to understand the distribution of scores in different COPD populations and their determinants. Methods The POPE study is an international, observational cross-sectional study of COPD subjects in 11 Central and Eastern European countries aimed at characterizing COPD phenotypes. Here we report the analysis of CAT scores with the objective of identifying their determinants, evaluating symptom load and investigating the distribution of scores among the participating countries. Additionally, we investigated the discrepancies between the CAT a…

Pharmacotherapy of COPD in Central and Eastern Europe - The POPE study

2016

Introduction: In Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) the burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is high. It remains unknown whether patients are treated in line with GOLD recommendations or according to their phenotypes. Our aim was to analyze the treatment patterns of COPD in CEE. Methods: In the frame of the POPE study (ClinicalTrials.gov - NCT02119494) data including pharmacotherapy were collected in patients with stable COPD across 11 CEE countries. Results: 3366 patients (66±9 yrs, 70% male, FEV 1 53±18%) participated in the study. In all GOLD categories, the most widely used medications were long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA), followed by long-acting antimuscarinic agents…
