A doença é uma condição progressiva, que pode ser prevenida e tratada, mas não curada i, ii, iii; por isso, ampliar as opções de tratamento da doença é um dos desafios para pacientes com DPOC

SÃO PAULO, 15 de julho de 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Um adulto com vida normal, começa a sentir falta de ar, tosse crônica e, da noite para o dia, a sensação de limitação para realizar atividades rotineiras se torna comum. Estes podem ser os sintomas da doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) também conhecida como enfisema ou bronquite crônica. A doença é uma condição progressiva que limita o fluxo de ar nos pulmões causando desconforto, limitação ao exercício e às atividades do dia a dia iv, vii, viii, iv, v. A DPOC mata, infelizmente, quatro brasileiros por hora, 96 por dia, 40 mil todos os anos vi.

A doença é uma condição progressiva que limita o fluxo de ar nos pulmões. A jornada do paciente até o diagnóstico correto é longa e, e 50% deles já estão em um estágio avançado da doença quando são diagnosticados vii. O percentual de subdiagnóstico em indivíduos com fatores de risco atendidos na atenção primária ainda é muito elevado (71,4%) viii.

"Para auxiliar os pacientes que já estão com o diagnóstico de DPOC, a ampliação do arsenal terapêutico para a doença, a cessação tabágica, a reabilitação pulmonar e o tratamento adequado considerando molécula e dispositivo como recomendado pelas diretrizes vii, viii diminuem as taxas de exacerbação (crises respiratórias onde a falta de ar piora subitamente) e reduzem internações hospitalares – (ainda mais em tempos de pandemia) – e a mortalidade, especialmente em pacientes entre  50 a 70 anos de idade" explica o pneumologista, Dr. Jose Eduardo Delfini Cançado.

O tratamento ajuda a retardar a progressão da doença vii, viii. Por causa da exposição a fumaças orgânicas (ex. queima de lenha) ou devido ao início precoce do hábito de fumar, uma série de casos de DPOC são diagnosticados em pessoas entre 40 e 50 anos de idade levando a uma perda acelerada da capacidade pulmonar e ocasionando alto custo socioeconômico  e redução da qualidade e da expectativa de vida i.

Uma das principais metas no tratamento da DPOC é aumentar a qualidade de vida do paciente e mantê-lo ativo independentemente da gravidade da doença i, ii, iii. Por isso a importância do diagnóstico acurado e do tratamento precoce para retardar a progressão da doença, reduzir os riscos de exacerbação e, desta forma, mudar definitivamente o cenário da DPOC no Brasil e no mundo ii, iii, vii, viii.
