Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. The most common COPD types are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Lifestyle changes and medical treatments can effectively reduce symptoms and improve a patient’s quality of life. In 2024, COPD led to 126,661 emergency department visits and 35,565 hospitalizations. The age-adjusted hospitalization rate from COPD was 111.2 per 100,000 population, representing a substantial decrease from 258.9 in 2014. Additionally, the age-adjusted rate of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations from COPD among those aged 0-64 years was 59.0 per 100,000 population.
