KOAH, COVID-19 için nasıl beklenenden daha düşük bir risk oluşturdu?

Öz

Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH), dünya nüfusunun %5'inden fazlasını etkileyen ilerleyici hava akımı kısıt-laması ile karakterize bir solunum hastalığıdır. Hastalık, hastanın solunum semptomlarının kötüleşmesine ve ilaç değişikliğine neden olan alevlenme atakları ile ilerler. Bu alevlenmelerin %70'i viral ve bakteriyel enfeksiyonlardan kaynaklanır. COVID-19 pandemisi ilk başladığında dünya genelindeki tüm göğüs hastalıkları uzmanlarının beklentisi, KOAH hastalarının daha sık alevlenmeler ve pnömoni nedeniyle hastaneye yatırılması ve bu hastalarda gelişen komplikasyonlar nedeniyle mortalitenin daha yüksek olmasıydı. Ancak ilerleyen günlerde hastaneye başvuran hasta gruplarında KOAH hastaları beklendiği kadar yüksek çıkmadı. Bu yazımızda bunun olası nedenlerini paylaşmak istedik

How did COPD pose a lower risk than expected for COVID19?

Öz

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by progressive airflow restriction affecting more than 5% of the world's popula-tion. The disease progresses with exacerbation attacks, leading to worsening of the patient's respiratory symp-toms and drug change. 70% of these exacerbations are caused by viral and bacterial infections. At the beginning of the pandemic, the expectation of all chest disease specialists worldwide was that COPD patients would be hospitalized for more frequent exacerbations and pneu-monia, and mortality would be higher in these patients due to developing complications. However, in the fol-lowing days, COPD patients were not as high as ex-pected in patient groups admitted to the hospital. In this article, we wanted to share possible reasons for this.
