The Association Between Bronchiectasis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease : Data from the European Bronchiectasis Registry (EMBARC)

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE: Bronchiectasis and COPD are associated conditions but misdiagnosis is believed to be common. A recently published international consensus definition of bronchiectasis (BE) and COPD association: The ROSE criteria (radiological bronchiectasis(R), obstruction: FEV1/FVC ratio<0.7 (O), symptoms (S) and exposure:≥10 pack year smoking (E) allows objective diagnosis of the BE-COPD association.

METHODS: Analysis of the EMBARC registry, a prospective observational study of patients with CT confirmed bronchiectasis from 28 countries. The ROSE criteria were used to objectively defined BE-COPD association. Key outcomes during up to 5-years follow-up were exacerbations, hospitalization and mortality.

MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS: 16730 patients with bronchiectasis were included. 4336 had a co-diagnosis of COPD and these patients had more exacerbations, worse quality of life and higher severity scores. We observed marked overdiagnosis of COPD using the ROSE criteria: 22.2% of patients with a diagnosis of COPD did not have airflow obstruction and 31.9% did not have a history of ≥10 pack years smoking. Therefore the proportion meeting the ROSE criteria for COPD was 2157 (55.4%). Compared to patients without COPD, patients meeting ROSE criteria had increased risk of exacerbations and exacerbations resulting in hospitalisation during follow-up (IRR 1.25 95%CI 1.15-1.35 and 1.69 95%CI 1.51-1.90 respectively) but patients with a diagnosis of COPD who did not meet ROSE criteria also had increased risk of exacerbations.

CONCLUSIONS: The label of COPD is often applied to bronchiectasis patients without objective evidence of airflow obstruction and smoking history. Patients with a clinical label of COPD have worse clinical outcomes.
