Abstract
The results of the analysis showed that among the cohort of patients with COPD with a BODE index of more than 5 and according to the results of the CAT test, which determines a serious impact on the daily life of patients (more than 30 points), the proportion of disabling conditions is high: pulmonary hypertension (62.6% and 42, 2%, respectively), cor pulmonale (37.4% and 21.9%, respectively), confirming the need for primary examination of this category of patients, where it is expected for the first time to establish disability in every 3-4 patients from this cohort of patients.
