| description |
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major global public health problem due to its high prevalence and morbidity and mortality. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes airflow obstruction in the lungs. Symp-toms include shortness of breath, cough, mucus (sputum) production, and wheezing. It is typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. Basic and definitive knowledge of this pathology is important for decision-making by health personnel and the general population, which allow either to prevent or adequately treat these patients and improve their prognosis. The main objective of this research focuses on capturing some fundamental generalities about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), such as its risk factors, classifi-cation, diagnosis, risk stratification and associated comorbidities. The research was developed through a bibliographic documentary type methodology under the review modality. COPD is an important pathology worldwide in the health area, since it generates disability in the patient, affects the organization of the family and produces high costs for medical care. Also, due to the growing population of smokers around the world, air pollution, the population's aging trend, estimates sug-gest that the prevalence and incidence increase and the disease develops even more in adulthood. Finally, comorbidities associated with COPD represent a predictor of mortality, therefore, it is necessary to establish strategies to prevent this situation and the readmission of patients who have already been discharged due to an exacerbation of their disease. this includes the control and treatment of said comorbidities.

La EPOC es una enfermedad pulmonar inflamatoria crónica que causa la obstrucción del flujo de aire de los pulmones. Los síntomas incluyen dificultad para respirar, tos, producción de moco (esputo) y sibilancias. Típicamente es causado por la exposición a largo plazo a gases irritantes o partículas de mate-ria, más a menudo por el humo del cigarrillo. Es importante el conocimiento básico de esta patología y definitivo para la toma de decisiones por parte del personal de salud y de la población en general, que permitan ya sea prevenir o tratar adecuadamente a estos pacientes y mejorar su pronóstico. El objetivo principal de la presente investigación se centra en plasmar algunas generalidades fundamentales acerca de la Enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), tales como sus factores de riesgo, clasificación, diagnóstico, estratificación del riesgo y comorbilidades asociadas. La investi-gación se desarrolló mediante una metodología de tipo documental bibliográfica bajo la modalidad de revisión. La EPOC es una patología importante en todo el mundo en el área de la salud, ya que genera en la paciente invalidez, afecta a la organización de la familia y produce altos costos para la atención médica. Asimismo, por la creciente población de fuma-dores en todo el mundo, la contaminación atmosférica, la tendencia de la población al envejecimiento, las estimaciones apuntan a que la prevalencia e incidencia aumenten y se desarrolle más aún la enfermedad en la edad adulta. Por último, las comorbilidades asociadas a la EPOC representan un factor predictor de mortalidad, por tanto, es necesario establecer estrategias que permitan prevenir esta situación y el reingreso de los pacientes que ya han sido dados de alta por causa de una exacerbación de su enfermedad, esto incluye el control y tratamiento de dichas comorbilidades.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8507992(Revista) ISSN 2588-073XRECIMUNDO: Revista Científica de la Investigación y el Conocimiento, ISSN 2588-073X, Vol. 6, Nº. 3, 2022, pags. 94-102spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
