The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has long recognized that its major constituents, the state and local health departments, have the primary role for targeting resources and efforts to prevent and control disease. However, state and local level information about disease burden may be more relevant to local and state decision-makers than national disease estimates. Until November 2012, there were no widely available state level prevalence estimates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with the exception of a few states that had collected their own prevalence data.
美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)长期以来一直认识到,其主要组成部分,即州和地方卫生部门,在将资源和努力用于预防和控制疾病方面发挥着主要作用。然而,与国家疾病估计数相比,州和地方层面有关疾病负担的信息可能对地方和州决策者更为相关。直到2012年11月,除了少数几个收集了自身患病率数据的州之外,没有广泛可用的州级慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患病率估计数。
