This document provides a survey to screen for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It begins by defining COPD as a life-threatening lung disease commonly caused by smoking that tends to get progressively worse. It then describes the two main conditions that make up COPD: chronic bronchitis, which involves inflammation of the airways, and emphysema, which damages the tiny air sacs of the lungs. The survey lists symptoms and risk factors to check if present. It collects smoking history and information about exacerbations and other respiratory illnesses. The goal is to provide information to screen for COPD and collect patient data to send to a clinic for evaluation.

COPD : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease A small survey test for COPD disease existence: Please tick the Symptoms if present in you Yes No 1. Mucus Hyper secretion 2. Airflow limitation and hyper inflation because of air trapping 3. Abnormalities in gas exchange 4. Skeletal muscle wasting which further reduces the exercise capacity and worsens prognosis. 5. Intermittent cough in the early morning. 6. If progressive coughs daily. 7. Sputum produced in the morning daily. 8. Sputum is usually tenacious (gum like), mucoid. 9. A Change in sputum colour (purulent) i.e. dirty, 10. Increase in volume suggests an infectious exacerbation. 11. Progressive dyspnoea (difficult respiration) and persistent. 12. Breathlessness occurs during exercise (climbing stairs). 13. Difficult to breathe even at rest. 14. Winter bronchitis: 15. Sputum production in yellow/green with chest infection: 16. Ankle swelling: 17. Tightness in chest: 18. An unexplained increase / decrease in weight:

COPD : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD is a life-threatening lung disease that tends to get progressively worse and is most commonly caused by smoking. A chronic illness is one that lasts a long time, sometimes for the rest of the affected persons life. Chronic bronchitis: Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of your bronchi the main airways that lead from your windpipe (trachea) to your lungs. This inflammation can produce excess mucus that may block your airways and make you cough. Emphysema: Emphysema damages the structure of your alveoli these are tiny air sacs where oxygen passes Youre also more likely to get COPD: if your body exposes you to certain dusts or fumes and air pollution from environmental factors, such as from inherited problems an inherited shortage of a protein called alpha antitrypsin that helps protect your body COPD is not curable but treatment can slow the progress of the disease. Nearly 66 million Indians suffer from COPD. But COPD has not received due attention by both patients and doctors making it a leading cause for morbidity and mortality. This fact sheet is to provide the user friendly scientific information about COPD and to take survey whether people affected with this COPD. Please provide the correct information that listed below.
