Article Synopsis
- Chronic bronchitis (CB) is defined as a persistent cough with sputum for at least three months each year for two consecutive years and is often linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- A study using data from over 104 million patients identified groups with CB only, COPD only, and both conditions, finding that most CB patients were diagnosed before COPD.
- The study revealed that the group with both CB and COPD had the highest healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and a greater prevalence of common comorbidities, emphasizing the need for better management of CB to prevent its progression to COPD.
