Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects 5–10% of people worldwide, 1 is rising in prevalence 2 and is the third most common cause of death. 3 The annual burden of COPD regarding healthcare (mainly exacerbations resulting in emergency admissions) and societal (predominantly lost productivity) costs was estimated to be around $49.9 billion in the USA (2010 prices 4 ) and €48.4 billion in the EU (2011 prices 5 ). A substantial proportion of those with COPD are of working age, but there is some evidence that they have poorer employment history, 6 higher rate of sickness absence 7 and poorer work performance (presenteeism) 8 compared with the general population.
