EpiCast Report: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – Epidemiology Forecasts to 2025
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), is a condition characterized by difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and other respiratory symptoms that progress over time. The disease is often caused by tobacco smoking; however, long-term exposure to other lung irritants, such as smoke from vehicle emissions and power stations, chemical fumes, and dust from the environment and workplace, can also contribute to the development of COPD (NHLBI, 2013).
To forecast the total prevalent cases of COPD and the diagnosed prevalent cases of COPD in the 8MM, GlobalData epidemiologists used studies published in peer-reviewed journals that provided the age- and sex-specific total and diagnosed prevalent cases of COPD in the respective markets. The forecast methodology was consistent across the 8MM to allow for a meaningful comparison of the forecast numbers across the markets.
In the 8MM, GlobalData epidemiologists forecast that the total prevalent cases of COPD will increase from 65,991,432 cases in 2015 to 76,066,482 cases in 2025 at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 1.53%. In the 8MM, GlobalData epidemiologists forecast that the diagnosed prevalent cases of COPD will increase from 24,482,101 cases in 2015 to 27,924,212 cases in 2025 at an AGR of 1.41%. The US had the highest number of total and diagnosed prevalent cases of COPD in the 8MM.
Scope
The Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) EpiCast Report and EpiCast Model provide an overview of the risk factors and global trends of COPD in the eight major markets (8MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and Australia). It includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast for the total prevalent cases of COPD (diagnosed and undiagnosed cases) and the diagnosed prevalent cases of COPD, which are segmented by sex and age (35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, and 75 years and older). The diagnosed prevalent cases of COPD are further segmented by the new GOLD 2011 severity stage (GOLD A, GOLD B, GOLD C, and GOLD D) using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores and the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scores.
The COPD epidemiology report and model were written and developed by Masters- and PhD-level epidemiologists.
The EpiCast Report is in-depth, high quality, transparent and market-driven, providing expert analysis of disease trends in the 8MM.
The EpiCast Model is easy to navigate, interactive with dashboards, and epidemiology-based with transparent and consistent methodologies. Moreover, the model supports data presented in the report and showcases disease trends over a 10-year forecast period using reputable sources.
