Abstract

The pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of COPD are not restricted to pulmonary inflammation and structural remodeling. Rather, this disorder is associated with clinically significant systemic alterations in biochemistry and organ function. The systemic aspects of COPD include oxidative stress and altered circulating levels of inflammatory mediators and acute-phase proteins. Indeed, an impaired endogenous oxidant-antioxidant balance has been reported in patients experiencing exacerbations of COPD, and others have observed altered circulating levels of several cytokines and adhesion molecules in patients with stable disease. As in other chronic inflammatory conditions, weight loss, muscle wasting, and tissue depletion are commonly seen in COPD patients. Selective wasting of fat-free mass coupled with impaired respiratory and peripheral muscle function and a reduced capacity for exercise occur in COPD patients. Indeed, weight loss may directly impact poor prognosis in COPD patients. The mechanisms underlying weight loss and muscle wasting are incompletely understood but likely involve an imbalance in ongoing processes of protein degradation and replacement. This may include alterations in the relative levels or activities of endocrine hormones such as insulin, growth hormone, testosterone, and glucocorticoids. Furthermore, chronic systemic inflammation involving cytokines such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha may be associated with these hormonal changes an…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
