Screening for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Updated Evidence Report and Systematic Review for the US Preventive Services Task Force

Elizabeth M. Webber et al.

Summary: The findings of this targeted evidence update are generally consistent with the findings of the previous systematic review supporting the 2016 USPSTF recommendation. Evidence of pharmacologic treatment was still largely limited to persons with moderate airflow obstruction, and there was no consistent benefit observed for a range of nonpharmacologic interventions in mild to moderate COPD or in minimally symptomatic persons with COPD.

Chronic respiratory disease disparity between American Indian/Alaska Native and white populations, 2011-2018

Kimberly G. Laffey et al.

Summary: The study found that the AI/AN population has a higher adjusted prevalence of chronic respiratory disease compared to non-Hispanic white population, but AI/AN racial status is not independently associated with the disease. Instead, indicators of low socioeconomic status, such as low annual household income and education level, are positively associated with the disease. This highlights the importance of addressing socioeconomic burdens in AI/AN populations to improve respiratory health.

An Update in Health Disparities in COPD in the USA

Brooks T. Kuhn et al.

Summary: COPD is a prevalent and highly morbid disease with challenges in diagnosis and management. Recent studies show increasing prevalence of COPD in women, patients with low socioeconomic status, and minorities, leading to a growing socioeconomic divide. Efforts to address biases and disparities in care are essential for just implementation and improved outcomes for COPD patients.
