Phenotypes of COPD in an Austrian population : National data from the POPE study.

CONCLUSIONS: There were significant differences in COPD outcome measures between predefined phenotypes of COPD in this study. The majority of patients with stable COPD in this Austrian population were not treated according to current COPD guidelines. While non-exacerbators appear to have been overtreated, patients with an asthma-COPD overlap appear to have been undertreated. PMID: 29797071 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
