COPD is a term used to describe a group of chronic pulmonary inflammatory illnesses characterized by persistent airflow restriction. COPD is one of the main causes of death worldwide, and it is expected to rise to third place by 2020. Comorbidities are widespread among COPD patients, have a significant impact on their prognosis, quality of life, and survival, and are more prevalent in disadvantaged social groups [1].
