Distribution, temporal stability and association with all-cause mortality of the 2017 GOLD groups in the ECLIPSE cohort - 31/07/18
Abstract |
Background |
In 2017, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) proposed a new classification of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Material and methods |
We contrasted the distribution of COPD patients according to GOLD 2017 and 2011 classifications, the temporal stability of the 2017 groups during 3 years follow-up and their association with all-cause mortality in the ECLIPSE cohort.
Results |
We found that GOLD 2017: (1) switched a substantial proportion of GOLD 2011C and D patients to A and B groups at recruitment; (2) about half of A, B and D patients remained in the same group at the end of follow-up, whereas 74% of C patients (the smallest group of all) changed, either because exacerbation rate decreased or dyspnea increased; and, (3) all-cause mortality by group was not significantly different between GOLD 2011 and 2017. Of note, mortality in B (16%) and D patients (18%) was similar, both with similar severity of airflow limitation, the best individual mortality risk factor.
Conclusions |
These results illustrate the cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of excluding FEV1 from GOLD 2017, and highlight both the clinical relevance of symptom assessment in the management of COPD and the prognostic capacity of FEV1.

• | Many C/D patients according to GOLD2011 are moved to A/B groups by GOLD2017. |
• | C patients (GOLD2017) are the less prevalent and stable through time. |
• | Mortality by group was not significantly different between GOLD 2011 and 2017. |
