Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a global problem whose intervention has been increased through regular reporting since 2001. The global GOLD strategy was developed to streamline efforts aimed at diagnosis, management and prevention of this disease. Several reports have been released since the initiative was launched. The latest is that of 2014 which makes several considerations.
It recommends a revision of the approach used in management. This follows deductions from literature that has been released over the years. The same treatment paradigm should however be maintained, according to the latest report. Balancing the two aspects requires a deeper understanding of details contained in subsequent reports.
Some of the issues that are always assessed by these reports include risk of future exacerbation, the symptoms of each patient, the gravity of spirometric abnormality and how comorbidities can be identified. The targets of these reports are care givers and professionals working in the health industry. The health structure in each region or country is also considered when delivering the reports and recommendations.
Management tools are developed with the clinical setting in mind. The symptoms of each patient and the likelihood of developing a serious health issue in future must be considered. The reports have increased reliance on evidence from time to time. The evidence relied upon in generating the reports is gathered from different regions to offer a wider perspective.
The presence of distinguished scholars and scientists in the committees has given the reports the power they require. The specialists are drawn from different countries and regions with the aim of gathering evidence from a wider area. This will offer a global perspective to intervention.
Governments, institutions and professionals ensure that all sectors involved in the campaign are brought on board. National leaders, health sector works, health care providers and the general population is sensitized on the burdens associated with COPD. Such measures are necessary when dealing with early detection, management and prevention.
The essence of releasing regular reports is to offer information and guidelines that would improve the quality of intervention. The report covers treatment and severity of the disease at personal level to a very large extent. It also gives a verdict on the effectiveness of treatment. It lauds the intervention measures taken in different areas.
Patients are classified based on how severe their condition is. Some are headed to hospitals based on their extent of their illness. Each patient bears a personal burden that is sometimes difficult to generalize. The quality of health, level of exercise and breathlessness determine how a patient copes with the disease. Regular updates made from one report to the other provide a better ground for improved intervention.
Management of the condition is simplified and given a universal face. The aim is to benefit from the findings of other people, countries or regions. There is increased movement towards individualized medicine because of the uniqueness of each situation.
Increased focus on developing personalized therapy is emphasized in most recent reports. The disease worries professionals since despite being treatable and preventable, it is considered among the top four killers in the world. It is possible to prevent premature deaths resulting from complications or the actual disease. A lot of research is still being carried out.
