While COPD patients experience some symptoms that can be confused with asthma, the two diseases have very different disease mechanisms and their treatment strategies sometimes conflict. People with well-managed asthma can have normal lung function, but damage from COPD is largely unrecoverable. <\/p>\n<p>The researchers say that while overlapping diagnoses of both asthma and COPD are fairly common, the relationship between the two diseases has been under-investigated to date. They say previous work has been limited by small study size and the difficulty in accounting for timing in the onset of the two diseases, as well as tracking patient outcomes over long periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>This new study took advantage of the robust population health data securely housed at ICES to examine long-term health outcomes in approximately 9,053 middle-aged people (age 40-55) with physician-diagnosed COPD. It found that 30 per cent (or 2,717) of these patients had a previous diagnosis of asthma. The researchers then compared their health outcomes over time with the COPD patients with no history of asthma. <\/p>\n<p>Over a median follow-up time of about three years, 282 of 2,717 (10.4 per cent) individuals with COPD and a history of asthma and 430 of 6,336 (6.8 per cent) with COPD and without a history of asthma were hospitalized with COPD. After adjusting for age and possible misclassification factors, the study found that COPD patients with a history of asthma were 53 per cent more likely to be hospitalized for COPD. Individuals with more severe asthma did worse than those with milder asthma.<\/p>\n<p>The impact could be seen regardless of the patient&#x2019;s history of smoking.<\/p>\n<p>The authors note that while it is not possible based on this study to make a direct causal link between chronic asthma and COPD, the data do point to a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>&#x201c;Our previous work shows that one in three Ontarians will be diagnosed with asthma in their lifetimes,&#x201d; says <a href=\"\/ices-scientists\/andrea-gershon\/\">Dr. Andrea Gershon<\/a>, the senior author on the paper who is a physician at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and who leads the Lung Health Program at ICES. &#x201c;Awareness that people with asthma are at increased risk of developing COPD means that care providers can work with their patients to optimize their asthma care and preserve their lung function as they age.&#x201d; <\/p>\n<p>The study was produced in collaboration with the Canadian Respiratory Research Network.<\/p>\n<p>&#x201c;The impact of a history of asthma on long-term outcomes of people with newly diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a population study&#x201d; was published today in the <em>Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author block: Kendzerska T, To TM, Aaron SD, Lougheed MD, Sadatsafavi M, FitzGerald JM, Gershon AS.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #002060;\"><span class=\"bold\">The Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES)<\/span> is an independent, non-profit organization that uses population-based health information to produce knowledge on a broad range of healthcare issues.
