Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disorder with a complex clinical picture. The diagnosis may be difficult at times, as COPD may develop insidiously and remain unnoticed for a long time. Therefore, general practitioners play a central role in early detection of disease. Suspected COPD may be confirmed by further investigations in collaboration with a pulmonologist. The most recent GOLD guideline defines three COPD risk groups (A-B-E) which should guide the personalized treatment concept. General practitioners are crucial for implementing non-pharmacological measures such as smoking cessation, regular exercise, vaccinations, and patient self-management education. However, this also underlines the challenges to implement the GOLD recommendations in daily practice.
