Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is听a common lung disease that makes breathing difficult. The World Health Organisation reports that COPD caused 3.5 million deaths in 2021 (5% globally) and is a leading cause of poor health. Nearly 90% of deaths under 70 occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), with tobacco and household air pollution as major risks.
Join this free webinar to explore the latest advances in early COPD diagnosis and management, including strategies to identify at-risk individuals, as it becomes an increasingly important area in the next few years.
By attending the webinar, you will learn about:
- The early life origins of COPD
- The latest advances in the early diagnosis of COPD, including in LMIC
- The use of early endotyping in COPD management
This webinar is available for on-demand viewing.听The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.听
