Abstract

Introduction: COPD is associated with several risk factors and co morbid conditions. Dealing
 with co-morbidity needs a patient centered approach, rather than a disease oriented approach7.
 The present study was conducted to study risk factors and co morbid conditions of COPD
 patients.
 Material and Methods: The present study was conducted in department of Pulmonary
 Medicine at Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences with respiratory complaints
 over a period of one and a half year. The data was collected in terms of demographic features,
 anthropometric measurements and various risk factors and co morbid conditions. Spirometry
 was performed thrice and the largest values of both FVC and FEV1 were noted from three
 technically satisfactory curves. COPD severity was classified based on Spirometric
 assessment according to the GOLD classification. Categorical variables were analyzed using
 proportions and percentages.
 Results: In a study of 201 cases that were diagnosed as a case of COPD the mean age was 62.6
 years and male predominance. Majority of the patients had sedentary life style and were from
 poor class. The co morbid conditions anemia, cardiac, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lipid
 disorders, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, psychiatric illness, ophthalmic defects and
 obstructive sleep apnea was found in 43.8%, 52.2%, 65.2%, 52.2%, 51.7%, 64.7%, 72.1%,
 66.7%, 28.9% and 54.2% respectively.
 Conclusion: Co morbidities should be taken into consideration while prescribing multiple
 drugs so that side effects and interactions of drug can be monitored and quality of life can be
 improved.
