The document provides information on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). It defines COPD as a common preventable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation associated with an enhanced inflammatory response in the airways. It discusses mechanisms of airflow limitation, risk factors, assessment of COPD including symptoms, spirometry and exacerbation history, management of stable COPD and exacerbations, and pharmacologic treatment options.

versus systemic agents (e.g.,
atropine)
Dry mouth is most commonly

Urinary retention may be a
problem for patients with bladder
outlet disease
