          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: La Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica afecta a 260 millones de personas a nivel mundial y representará la tercera causa de muerte para el año 2020. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal con la finalidad de comparar la estadificación de un grupo de pacientes venezolanos con EPOC según la Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2007, 2011 y 2019. Resultados: La muestra estuvo constituida por ochenta y nueve (89) pacientes con una edad promedio de 66,7 ± 0,9 años, siendo el 60,7% de los pacientes del sexo masculino y 82% fumadores. El 14,6% de los pacientes presentaban EPOC leve, 36% EPOC moderado, 41,6% EPOC severo y 7,9% EPOC muy severo. El valor del test Kappa de Cohen entre las escalas mMRC y CAT (COPD Assessment Test) fue de 0,529 (GOLD 2011) y 0,555 (GOLD 2019). Conclusiones: 1) la poca concordancia entre el VEF1, grado de disnea e historial de exacerbaciones impacta la clasificación de la severidad de la EPOC al utilizar GOLD 2011; 2) la concordancia moderada entre las escalas mMRC y CAT sugiere que el tipo de cuestionario utilizado afecta la categorización de la severidad de la enfermedad; 3) los pacientes del grupo B mostraron una importante afectación en el intercambio gaseoso dado por valores más bajos de DLCO y oximetría arterial y 4) una proporción significativa de pacientes fueron clasificados en los grupos de alto riesgo (B y D) en GOLD 2011 y 2019.

          Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects 260 million people worldwide and it is thought to become the third leading cause of mortality by the year 2020. Materials and Methods: A transversal descriptive observational study was conducted to compare the categorization of a group of Venezuelan COPD patients according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2007, 2011 and 2019. Results: Eighty-nine (89) patients with a mean age of 66.7 ± 0.9 years were included, 60.7% were male and 82% smokers. 14.6% of the patients had mild COPD, 36% moderate COPD, 41.6% severe COPD and 7.9% very severe COPD. Cohen's Kappa coefficient value between mMRC and COPD Assessment test (CAT) was 0,529 (GOLD 2011) and 0,555 (GOLD 2019). Conclusions: 1) the lack of concordance between FEV1 values, degree of dyspnea and history of exacerbations impacts COPD severity classification when using GOLD 2011; 2) moderate agreement between mMRC and CAT scales suggests that the type of questionnaire used to evaluate perception of dyspnea can affect disease severity categorization; 3) group B patients showed a significant gas exchange impairment due to lower values of DLCO and arterial oxymetry and 4) a significant proportion of patients were categorized in the high-risk groups (B and D) both in GOLD 2011 and 2019. Optimization of the evaluation of COPD severity is important to allow a better standardization of care and pharmacological management of patients with this disease.

          GOLD 2011 disease severity classification in COPDGene: a prospective cohort study.

          The 2011 GOLD (Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [COPD]) consensus report uses symptoms, exacerbation history, and forced expiratory volume (FEV1)% to categorise patients according to disease severity and guide treatment. We aimed to assess both the influence of symptom instrument choice on patient category assignment and prospective exacerbation risk by category. Patients were recruited from 21 centres in the USA, as part of the COPDGene study. Eligible patients were aged 45-80 years, had smoked for 10 pack-years or more, and had an FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) <0·7. Categories were defined with the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale (score 0-1 vs ≥2) and the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ; ≥25 vs <25 as a surrogate for the COPD Assessment Test [CAT] ≥10 vs <10) in addition to COPD exacerbations in the previous year (<2 vs ≥ 2), and lung function (FEV1% predicted ≥50 vs <50). Statistical comparisons were done with k-sample permutation tests. This study cohort is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00608764. 4484 patients with COPD were included in this analysis. Category assignment using the mMRC scale versus SGRQ were similar but not identical. On the basis of the mMRC scale, 1507 (33·6%) patients were assigned to category A, 919 (20·5%) to category B, 355 (7·9%) to category C, and 1703 (38·0%) to category D; on the basis of the SGRQ, 1317 (29·4%) patients were assigned to category A, 1109 (24·7%) to category B, 221 (4·9%) to category C, and 1837 (41·0%) to category D (κ coefficient for agreement, 0·77). Significant heterogeneity in prospective exacerbation rates (exacerbations/person-years) were seen, especially in the D subcategories, depending on the risk factor that determined category assignment (lung function only [0·89, 95% CI 0·78-1·00]), previous exacerbation history only [1·34, 1·0-1·6], or both [1·86, 1·6-2·1; p<0·0001]). The GOLD classification emphasises the importance of symptoms and exacerbation risk when assessing COPD severity. The choice of symptom measure influences category assignment. The relative number of patients with low symptoms and high risk for exacerbations (category C) is low. Differences in exacerbation rates for patients in the highest risk category D were seen depending on whether risk was based on lung function, exacerbation history, or both.

            Differences in classification of COPD group using COPD assessment test (CAT) or modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scores: a cross-sectional analyses

            Background The GOLD 2011 document proposed a new classification system for COPD combining symptom assessment by COPD assessment test (CAT) or modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scores, and exacerbation risk. We postulated that classification of COPD would be different by the symptom scale; CAT vs mMRC. Methods Outpatients with COPD were enrolled from January to June in 2012. The patients were categorized into A, B, C, and D according to the GOLD 2011; patients were categorized twice with mMRC and CAT score for symptom assessment, respectively. Additionally, correlations between mMRC scores and each item of CAT scores were analyzed. Results Classification of 257 patients using the CAT score vs mMRC scale was as follows. By using CAT score, 60 (23.3%) patients were assigned to group A, 55 (21.4%) to group B, 21 (8.2%) to group C, and 121 (47.1%) to group D. On the basis of the mMRC scale, 97 (37.7%) patients were assigned to group A, 18 (7.0%) to group B, 62 (24.1%) to group C, and 80 (31.1%) to group D. The kappa of agreement for the GOLD groups classified by CAT and mMRC was 0.510. The mMRC score displayed a wide range of correlation with each CAT item (r = 0.290 for sputum item to r = 0.731 for dyspnea item, p < 0.001). Conclusions The classification of COPD produced by the mMRC or CAT score was not identical. Care should be taken when stratifying COPD patients with one symptom scale versus another according to the GOLD 2011 document.

              The distribution of COPD in UK general practice using the new GOLD classification.

              The new Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2011 document recommends a combined assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on current symptoms and future risk. A large database of primary-care COPD patients across the UK was used to determine COPD distribution and characteristics according to the new GOLD classification. 80 general practices provided patients with a Read code diagnosis of COPD. Electronic and hand searches of patient medical records were undertaken, optimising data capture. Data for 9219 COPD patients were collected. For the 6283 patients with both forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and modified Medical Research Council scores (mean±sd age 69.2±10.6 years, body mass index 27.3±6.2 kg·m(-2)), GOLD 2011 group distributions were: A (low risk and fewer symptoms) 36.1%, B (low risk and more symptoms) 19.1%, C (high risk and fewer symptoms) 19.6% and D (high risk and more symptoms) 25.3%. This is in contrast with GOLD 2007 stage classification: I (mild) 17.1%, II (moderate) 52.2%, III (severe) 25.5% and IV (very severe) 5.2%. 20% of patients with FEV1 ≥50% predicted had more than two exacerbations in the previous 12 months. 70% of patients with FEV1 <50% pred had fewer than two exacerbations in the previous 12 months. This database, representative of UK primary-care COPD patients, identified greater proportions of patients in the mildest and most severe categories upon comparing 2011 versus 2007 GOLD classifications. Discordance between airflow limitation severity and exacerbation risk was observed.
