®) finds that the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) among Americans aged 40 to 64 fell 4% from 2017 to 2019, resulting in 22 cases per 1,000 commercially insured patients. However small this decline may seem at first glance, this improvement is welcome news, said Swati Abbott, BHI s CEO.
COPD has risen steadily to become the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S., and the conditions underlying this disorder contribute to higher rates of mortality for individuals infected with COVID-19. This research provides a solid baseline for enabling accurate predictions of risk in individual patients so we can intervene in time to better prevent or lessen the severity of COPD, Abbott said.
