USA National Hospital Discharge Survey analysed more than 47 million hospital discharges for COPD (8.5% of all hospitalisations) that occurred in the USA from 1979 to 2001 in adults .25 yrs of age.
The prevalence and in-hospital mortality of many conditions were greater in hospital discharges with any mention of COPD versus those that did not mention COPD. Of interest, a hospital diagnosis of COPD was associated with a higher rate of age-adjusted, in-hospital mortality for pneumonia,
hypertension, heart failure, ventilatory failure and thoracic malignancies (fig. 3). In contrast, a hospital diagnosis of COPD was not associated with a greater prevalence of hospitalisation or in-hospital mortality for acute and chronic renal failure, HIV, gastrointestinal haemorrhage and cerebrovascular disease

Impactul comorbiditatilor asupra prognosticului BPOC – mortalitatea dupa internari pentru exacerbarile BPOC
Componenţii chimici ai fumului de ţigară, sau diferiti poluanţi iritanţi cu rol dovedit in etiologia BPOC, activeaza celule de la nivelul mucoasei bronsice, celulele epiteliale sau macrofage.
Acestea elibereaza factori chemotactici (chemochine) prin care sunt recrutate alte celule inflamatorii circulante.
O parte dintre aceste celule elibereaza proteaze care determina distrugerea fibrelor de elastina, cu distrugerea peretilor alveolari si apariţia emfizemului.
La aparitia emfizemului contribuie si limfocitele T citotoxice care actionează sinergic, putand induce apoptoza pneumocitelor de tip I (prin producere de perforine, granzyme, etc).
Proteazele au ca efect şi stimularea secretiei de mucus la nivelul glandelor bronşice cu hipersecretie de mucus.
Macrofagele si celulele epiteliale elibereaza factori fibrogenici, o importanta parte a fiziopatologiei BPOC fiind determinata de fibroza cailor aeriene mici.
As part of the chronic inflammatory process, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a receptor polymorphisms are associated with increased severity of disease, possibly due to enhanced TNF-a effects. Also, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can be increased directly by TNF-a and other cytokines. Elevated CRP and fibrinogen may be crucial in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Reactive oxygen species released as a result of COPD may enhance the likelihood of a patient developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. IL: interleukin; ?: unknown; +ve: positive.

Increased arterial stiffness has important hemodynamic consequences. The increased velocity of the reflected pressure wave augments aortic pressure in late systole, causing an increase in pulse pressure, due to increased systolic BP and decreased diastolic BP. As a consequence, myocardial oxygen demand and left ventricular afterload are increased, whereas coronary perfusion is reduced, leading to subendocardial ischemia (13).
Furthermore, increased left ventricular afterload promotes left ventricular hypertrophy, a recognized independent cardiovascular risk factor (38). In the vasculature, increased pulse pressure alters the cyclical dynamics of the arterial wall connective tissues, promoting vascular remodeling, an increase in arterial wall thickness, and plaque formation (39). Thus, arterial stiffness may be both a marker for and a cause of cardiovascular disease.

Both endothelium-dependent and endotheliumindependent vasodilation is significantly impaired in patients with stable COPD. Airflow obstruction and systemic inflammation may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with COPD.

In 2010, Barr et al, showed that the extent of emphysema and airflow obstruction are linearly related to impaired left ventricular filling, reduced stroke volume and lower cardiac output without changes in the ejection fraction. The study included 2816 patients with COPD. Left ventricle end-diastolic volume, stroke volume and cardiac output were measured by magnetic resonance. The extent of emphysema (expressed as percent emphysema) was defined as the percentage of voxels below −910 Hounsfield units in the lung windows on computed tomographic scans. The airflow obstruction was measured by spirometry. A 10-point increase in percent emphysema was linearly related to reductions in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (−4.1 ml; 95% confidence interval [CI], −3.3 to −4.9; P<0.001), stroke volume (−2.7 ml; 95% CI, −2.2 to −3.3; P<0.001) and cardiac output (−0.19 liters per minute; 95% CI, −0.14 to −0.23; P<0.001).

Study was undertaken to evaluate the presence of the metabolic syndrome in COPD patients who participated in a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program.
The metabolic syndrome was frequent in overweight/obese patients with COPD.
Obesity in COPD was associated with a spectrum of metabolic and inflammatory abnormalities.
In the presence of overweight/obesity, patients with COPD would exhibit a metabolic and inflammatory profile associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Hypoxia - activity of enzymes involved in the Krebs cycle, fatty acid oxidation and the respiratory chain are reduced, whereas the activity of glycolytic enzymes is enhanced. Hypoxia may contribute to muscle wasting in COPD by a variety of mechanisms, including reduced anabolic hormone levels [61], increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines [62] and by the generation of ROS (reactive oxygen species) that contribute to oxidative stress
Hypercapnia leads to intracellular acidosis that has marked effects upon muscle cell metabolism, including decreases in ATP, PCr and adenosine nucleotides
Corticosteroids – steroid myopathy
Nutritional Depletion
Anabolic/catabolic hormonal inbalance - Reduced levels of anabolic hormones, such as testosterone and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1),
Systemic inflammation - Elevated IL-6 levels are associated with radiological evidence of quadriceps wasting in COPD; TNF-α (tumour
necrosis factor-α) levels are elevated in patients who fail to gain weight during a rehabilitation
Oxidative stress - Free radicals (such as the superoxide anion and NO), when inadequately scavenged by antioxidants, can cause oxidative damage to lipids and proteins, significantly altering the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex. Increased levels of oxidative stress have been
particularly observed during acute exacerbations [95] and during exercise [96], but also documented in stable COPDpatients [93].Treatment withN-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant, has been shown to reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress and improve quadriceps endurance
Quadriceps maximal voluntary contraction force QMVC provides more powerful prognostic information on COPD than that provided by age, body mass index and forced expiratory volume in 1 s.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Systemic effects of COPD are incompletely reflected by established prognostic assessments. We determined the prognostic value of objectively measured physical activity in comparison with established predictors of mortality and evaluated the prognostic value of noninvasive assessments of cardiovascular status, biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and adipokines.
METHODS:
In a prospective cohort study of 170 outpatients with stable COPD (mean FEV(1), 56% predicted), we assessed lung function by spirometry and body plethysmography; physical activity level (PAL) by a multisensory armband; exercise capacity by 6-min walk distance test; cardiovascular status by echocardiography, vascular Doppler sonography (ankle-brachial index [ABI]), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level; nutritional and muscular status by BMI and fat-free mass index; biomarkers by levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL-6, fibrinogen, adiponectin, and leptin; and health status, dyspnea, and depressive symptoms by questionnaire. Established prognostic indices were calculated. The median follow-up was 48 months (range, 10-53 months).
RESULTS:
All-cause mortality was 15.4%. After adjustments, each 0.14 increase in PAL was associated with a lower risk of death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.46; 95% CI, 0.33-0.64; P < .001). Compared with established predictors, PAL showed the best discriminative properties for 4-year survival (C statistic, 0.81) and was associated with the highest relative risk of death per standardized decrease. Novel predictors of mortality were adiponectin level (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.06-1.71; P = .017), leptin level (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.65-0.99; P = .042), right ventricular function (Tei-index) (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.04-1.54; P = .020), and ABI < 1.00 (HR, 3.87; 95% CI, 1.44-10.40; P = .007). A stepwise Cox regression revealed that the best model of independent predictors was PAL, adiponectin level, and ABI. The composite of these factors further improved the discriminative properties (C statistic, 0.85).
CONCLUSIONS:
We found that objectively measured physical activity is the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with COPD. In addition, adiponectin level and vascular status provide independent prognostic information in our cohort.
Leptin is a 16 kDa protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism.
Adiponectin is a protein hormone that modulates a number of metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and fatty acidcatabolism.[3] Adiponectin is exclusively secreted from adipose tissue (and also from the placenta in pregnancy[4]) into thebloodstream and is very abundant in plasma relative to many hormones.

Exercise training does not improve lung function, but it does ease other manifestations of COPD, increasing
exercise tolerance, reducing dyspnea, and improving quality of life. Improved skeletal-muscle function is related, in part, to a reversal of deconditioning. Exercise training improves aerobic function of the muscles of ambulation. Dyspnea is mitigated by the reduction in
dynamic hyperinflation that occurs when exercise- induced increases in the rate and depth of breathing
result in inadequate time for full expiration, given the high expiratory airflow resistance. End-expiratory lung
volume rises, and exercise is terminated when end- inspiratory lung volume approaches levels at which the
high elastic work of breathing causes severe dyspnea.
Exercise training reduces the ventilatory requirement and respiratory rate during heavy exercise, prolonging the time allowed for expiration and reducing dynamic hyperinflation. Desensitization to dyspnea occurs centrally as a result of exercise training; the underlying
mechanism is uncertain. Decreased anxiety and depression are thought to result from increased exercise
capacity and consequent increases in activities of daily living, coupled with feelings of mastery.

The main finding of this study is that patients who had a relapse after emergency treatment of obstructive pulmonary disease are more likely to report signs of anxiety and/or depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale).
The patients received emergency treatment and were followed up for 4 weeks.
The psychological status was assessed using the hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale questionnaire at the end of the follow-up period.
Among patients who relapsed within 1 month (n 14), the HAD total score was 12.4 5.9 compared with 8.6 5.1
(mean SD) among the patients without a relapse (p < 0.05). After making adjustments for age, gender, atopic status, treatment, and pack-years, the significant association between treatment failure and anxiety and/or depression still remained.

Incidence density of lung cancer is high in COPD outpatients and occurs more frequently in older patients with milder airflow obstruction (GOLD stages I and
II) and lower BMI. A DLCO<80% is associated with cancer diagnosis. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent histological type (44%).

O metaanaliză publicata in 2011 a avut ca obiectiv evaluarea diferitor afectiuni pulmonare din punct de vedere al riscului de cancer pulmonar, determinat in mod independent de fiecare dintre acestea.
Rezultatele arată un risc relativ de 2.04 (95% CI: 1.72, 2.41) asociat emfizemului pulmonar, 1.52 (95%CI: 1.25, 1.84) asociat bronsitei cronice şi respectiv 2.22 (95% CI:
1.66, 2.97) asociat BPOC.
Conform rezultatelor mai multor studii, inflamatia şi stresul oxidativ par sa fie elementele de legatura in cadrul interrelatiei patogenice complexe dintre BPOC si cancerul pulmonar.
Fumatul este cea mai importanta sursa demonstrata de generare a stresului oxidativ si a reactiei inflamatorii pulmonare in BPOC.
Stresul oxidativ determina activarea a multiple mecanisme patogenice, factori de transcriptie, kinaze, factori epigenetici, care moduleaza raspunsul inflamator, ciclul celular si proliferarea celulara iar in cazul existentei unui background genetic si epigenetic care determina susceptibilitate, apar BPOC respectiv cancerul pulmonar.
Expunerea la fumul de ţigară induce stresul oxidativ atat în mod direct, prin aportul de compuşi oxidanţi cît şi prin dereglarea unor mecanisme antioxidante endogene.
Stresul oxidativ amplifica raspunsul inflamator si deregleaza activitatea mai multor factori nucleari de transcriptie, determinand disfunctii ale mai multor antioxidanti si enzime cu rol in detoxifierea celulara, la nivelul pulmonului bolnavilor cu BPOC, crescand susceptibilitatea acestora la cancerul pulmonar. [104, 200]
Unul dintre acesti factori este Nrf2, in BPOC observandu-se o scadere semnificativa a activitatii acestui factor de transcriptie urmata de scaderea expresiei genelor pentru anumite enzime cu rol antioxidant la nivel celular, cu efecte in promovarea mecanismelor patogenice ale BPOC si cancerului pulmonar, inclusiv prin alterarea structurii AND [98] .
NF-KB este un alt factor nuclear de transcriptie, a carui functie este dereglata de stresul oxidativ in BPOC. NF-KB este activat excesiv de stresul oxidativ determinând mai departe transactivarea genelor răspunzătoare de promovarea inflamaţiei. Studiile au evidenţiat activarea aberantă a NF-KB şi a genelor inflamaţiei la nivelul epiteliului mucoasei bronşice şi celulelor inflamatorii atât în BPOC cât şi în carcinomul pulmonar scuamocelular. [176–179] .
In plus au demonstrat că NF-KB are atât un rol de promotor tumoral prin stimularea proliferării celulare şi inhibarea morţii celulare preprogramate cât şi un rol de iniţiere a carcinogenezei. [180] . In BPOC, NF-KB activeaza macrofagele la nivelul mucoasei bronsice acestea eliberand compusi oxidanti care determina alterarea structurii ADN la nivelul celulelor epiteliului bronsic. In plus, NF-KB determina amplificarea expresiei citokinelor proinflamatorii care au si efecte de promovare a angiogenezei tumorale, accelerare a cresterii celulare si metastazarii. Studiale au aratat ca expunerea prelungita la fumul de tigara a animalelor de laborator determina cancer pulmonar in urma activarii aberante a NF-KB si a raspunsului inflamator exagerat la nivelul cailor aeriene.
