AbstractChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of death and disability in many countries over the world. Prevalence of COPD is difficult to evaluate because of clinical similarity to bronchial asthma, and changes in diagnostic standards. Actually about 8-35% patients are suffering because of COPD. In Poland this problem was described only in some regional trials. For this reason the program for prevalence of COPD has to be established according to contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic standards.
