Objective: To assess the frequency of risk factors of cardiovascular disease and the degree of total cardiovascular risk in patients with COPD. Materials and Methods: 518 patients were under supervision, 122 of them (with mild and moderate СOPD (GOLD, 2018) were included in the final analysis, satisfying the inclusion criteria: the absence of clinical manifestations of cardiovascular disease, MI and stroke history, DM. The European SCORE scale was used to assess coronary risk. Results: Low total cardiovascular risk was diagnosed in 15 (12%), medium – in 29 (24%), high – in 41 (34%), very high risk by SCORE – in 37 (30%) COPD patients. A regression analysis revealed correlation between the risk of COPD exacerbations (mMRC or CAT, severity according to spirometry) and the total cardiovascular risk of SCORE (r = 0.58; p = 0.001), as well as between the comorbidity index by M. Charlson et al. (1987) and risk by SCORE (r = 0.61; p = 0.006). The relationship between BMI and cholesterol in the study was J-shaped. The effect of inhalation therapy on the occurrence of the first manifestation of CVD was not established by Cox regression. Conclusion: in 75% of patients with COPD, an increased 10-year risk of all fatal complications of atherosclerosis is determined. The study indicates the need to assess the risk by SCORE in patients with initial manifestations of COPD in order to timely correction of the identified risk factors for cardiovascular disease.","PeriodicalId":432006,"journal":{"name":"General practice and primary care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116015423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate patterns in clinical care and COPD related ‘events’ across a single-year in a UK single-practice primary-care cohort. Methods: The clinical record system of practice population of 11474 patients was searched to identify all registered patients with COPD with data available for the period April17–March18. All cases were reviewed including disease duration, account of exacerbations with their treatment, related hospitalizations and mortality, co-morbidities and changes in FEV1. Results: Out of total 331 COPD patients; most had long-standing disease approx 10 years, although this varied widely. Mean % FEV1 was 60.4% (range 14–118%) with 71% with dyspnoea of MRC 2 or 3. 95% of them had at least one co-morbidity, mainly diabetes/arthritis or cardiovascular disease. There was no exacerbation in 137 patients (41.4%). Of patients with at least one event, 111 (33.5%) required treatment with antibiotics + oral steroids and 28 of these patients (8.5%) showed decline in FEV1. 22 patients required emergency COPD-related hospitalisations with 5 in-hospital deaths. The mean FEV1 in those patients without an exacerbation was higher compared to those with an exacerbation (66.6% vs 55.9%) and a further decline was noted in those with hospital admission history (45.8%). Conclusions: A substantial variation was observed in COPD disease burden and healthcare resource usage within the 12 months across a primary-care cohort in UK.","PeriodicalId":432006,"journal":{"name":"General practice and primary care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122015833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the Birmingham primary care COPD cohort we developed and internally validated the new BLISS prognostic score from 23 candidate variables. 1558 patients on COPD registers of 71 GP practices and 331 newly-identified patients from a linked case-finding trial were included and their self-reported and clinical data were combined with routine hospital episode statistics. Primary outcome was the record of at least one respiratory admission within 2 years of cohort entry. The model was developed using backward elimination. Missing data were imputed using chained equations. Discrimination and calibration were assessed. Bootstrapping was used for internal validation. Median (min, max) follow up was 2.9 years (1.8, 3.8). 6 variables were retained in the final model: age, CAT score, respiratory admissions previous 12m, BMI, diabetes, FEV1% predicted. After adjustment for optimism, the model performed well in predicting 2yr respiratory admissions (c statistic=0.75 (95%CI 0.72, 0.79). The BLISS score showed better performance in predicting respiratory admissions than existing published scores. All 6 variables are readily available in primary care records or would be easy to collect, and a simple computer programme could calculate the score. Important next steps are external validation, proposing/evaluating a model of use to guide patient management and exploration of the best ways to implement the score in primary care practice.","PeriodicalId":432006,"journal":{"name":"General practice and primary care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131830645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
