Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – Epidemiology – Epidemiology Dashboard
Clarivate Epidemiology’s coverage of COPD comprises epidemiological estimates of key patient populations across 45 countries worldwide. We report the total COPD prevalent cases for each country, as well as annualized case counts projected to the national population.
Most patient populations are forecast over a period of 20 years for the mature markets and Europe, and 10 years for the other countries we cover.
All forecast data are available on Clarivate’s Insights Platform in tabular format, with options to download to MS Excel. All populations are accompanied by a comprehensive description of the methods and data sources used, with hyperlinks to external sources. A summary evidence table generated as part of our systematic review of the epidemiological literature is also provided for full transparency into research and methods.
Clarivate Epidemiology’s COPD forecast answers the following questions:
- How will changes in the levels of exposure to known risk or protective factors affect the number of people living with a diagnosis of COPD and the number of new diagnoses of COPD?
- Of all people diagnosed with COPD, how many in each country across the major mature pharmaceutical markets are drug-treated?
- How will demographic trends, such as population aging and improving life expectancy, affect the epidemiology of COPD over the forecast period?
In addition to the total COPD prevalent cases for each forecast year, Clarivate Epidemiology provides at least 10 years of forecast data for the following COPD subpopulations:
- Total GOLD-defined COPD prevalent cases
- Diagnosed spirometric-negative COPD prevalent cases
- Total GOLD defined prevalent cases by severity
- Diagnosed COPD prevalent cases
- Diagnosed prevalent cases by severity
- Asthma-COPD overlap
- AECOPD events
- Eosinophilic COPD
- Drug treated population
Note: Coverage may vary by country.
