COPD is a leading but under-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the world, and the fifth commonest cause of death in England and Wales, accounting for nearly 28,000 deaths each year.
the author analyses systematically the national policies around chronic obstructive pulmonary disease such as the long term smoking cessation and NICE and BTS recommendations on COPD. Finding/conclusion: the analysis of current national policies on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease leads to a discussion to justify the need for a National Service Framework on this chronic disease. The current and future impact on local implementation is also analysed.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）是全球发病率和死亡率的主要原因，但目前未得到充分认识。它目前是世界上第四大死因，在英格兰和威尔士是第五大常见死因，每年导致近28000人死亡。
作者系统分析了围绕慢性阻塞性肺疾病的国家政策，如长期戒烟以及英国国家卫生与临床优化研究所（NICE）和英国胸科学会（BTS）对慢性阻塞性肺疾病的建议。研究结果/结论：对当前慢性阻塞性肺疾病国家政策的分析引发了一场讨论，以论证制定该慢性病国家服务框架的必要性。还分析了当前及未来对地方实施的影响。
