Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Lung diseases, especially COPD, are one of the leading causes of death. The aim of the study was to assess mortality caused by COPD, asthma and cor pulmonale in the years 2001-2004 in the Pomerania province.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Death certificates of patients who died of asthma, COPD or cor pulmonale registered in Regional Health Centre were analyzed.

RESULTS

The mortality rate for COPD was 14.02/100 000, asthma 2.04/100 000 and cor pulmonale 2.4/100 000 inhabitants. Mortality rate from COPD increased from 12.5/100 000 found in 2001 to 15.6/100 000 found in 2004 (p = 0.005). The number of deaths was higher in the winter time. The peak mortality was found in patients 65 years old. 71% of COPD and cor pulmonale patients died in the hospital, whereas 75% of asthma deaths occurred at home (p = 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

The mortality rates from chronic respiratory diseases in the analyzed population are comparable to data found in other studies. The alarming result is the increase in the number of COPD deaths and high percentage of asthma patients who die at home.

摘要

引言

肺部疾病，尤其是慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD），是主要的死亡原因之一。本研究的目的是评估2001年至2004年期间波美拉尼亚省由COPD、哮喘和肺心病导致的死亡率。

材料与方法

对在地区卫生中心登记的死于哮喘、COPD或肺心病的患者的死亡证明进行分析。

结果

COPD的死亡率为14.02/10万，哮喘为2.04/10万，肺心病为2.4/10万居民。COPD的死亡率从2001年的12.5/10万上升至2004年的15.6/10万（p = 0.005）。冬季死亡人数更多。65岁患者的死亡率最高。71%的COPD和肺心病患者在医院死亡，而75%的哮喘患者在家中死亡（p = 0.0001）。
