Age-Adjusted ER Rate due to COPD

County: Christian

Measurement Period: 2020-2022

This indicator shows the age-adjusted emergency room visit rate due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) per 10,000 population aged 18 years and older. COPD cases with a secondary diagnosis of cystic fibrosis or other respiratory anomalies are excluded.

Why is this important?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. COPD most commonly includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema and usually results from tobacco use, although it can also be a result of pollutants in the air, genetic factors, and respiratory infections. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and chronic cough. Although there is no cure for COPD, smoking cessation, medications, and therapy or surgery can help individuals manage their symptoms.
