| Popis: | Objective: to relate the morbidities of patients belonging to the COPD program of a health institution in Anserma, Caldas (Colombia). Material and Methods: a descriptive study was presented with a sample of 51 patients who underwent exploratory spirometry, the findings were contrasted with the main commodities reported by the patients or the Medical Record through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: 50% of the evaluated population had at least one recorded comorbidity; the main morbidity found was Arterial Hypertension followed by Chronic Kidney Disease; an associated behavior was found between the GOLD classification and the presence of symptoms with non-statistically significant values; no statistically significant association was found between comorbidities and spirometric values. Conclusions: new research is needed that clearly values causality in the Colombian population. |
