Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – Epidemiology – Epidemiology Dashboard
Clarivate’s coverage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) comprises epidemiological estimates of key patient populations in 45 countries worldwide. We report the prevalence of COPD 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 major mature pharmaceutical markets of the United States, Europe, and Japan and 10 years for the other countries covered in this report.
Clarivate’s COPD forecast will answer the following questions:
- How will changes in the levels of exposure to known risk or protective factors affect the number of people living with COPD?
- In developing countries, what impact will economic growth and development have on the number of people living with a diagnosis of COPD?
- Of all people with COPD, how many in each country have been formally diagnosed?
- How will demographic trends, such as population aging and improving life expectancy, affect the epidemiology of COPD over the forecast period?
All forecast data are available on the Clarivate 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 provided for full transparency into research and methods.
In addition to the total number of cases for each forecast year, Clarivate provides at least ten years of forecast data for the following COPD subpopulations:
- ACO.
- Eosinophilic COPD.
- Severity status.
- Drug-treatment status.
- Exacerbations in mild to moderate disease status.
- Exacerbations in severe to very severe disease status.
- Diagnosis status.
- … and more (details available on request).
