Korean COPD Patients Can Get Satisfaction

Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial

Abstract

Inhaled medications are key components of COPD treatment. However, nonadherence and device error are huge barriers to inhaler use especially in patients with COPD. Compared with asthma, COPD patients tend to be older and have many comorbidities including cognitive impairment.1 In a study that investigated inhaler device handling in elderly, the proportion of acceptable use was only 49.4%.2 Analysis of Korean national health insurance data revealed that adherence was 34.7% even in high-grade COPD patients.3
