3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive
lung disease (COLD), and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among
others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor
airflow. It typically worsens over time. The main symptoms include shortness of
breath, cough, and sputum production. Most people with chronic bronchitis have
COPD.

In absence of concomitant presence of emphysema, the underlying condition may be
classified as chronic bronchitis alone, and the exacerbations are then termed "acute
exacerbations of chronic bronchitis" (AECB), and shares many characteristics with that of
acute exacerbation of COPD.As COPD progresses, exacerbations tend to become more
frequent, the average being about three episodes per year.
