Abstract

Background: Although COPD affects both men and women, its prevalence is increasing more rapidly in women. Disease outcomes appear different among women with more frequent dyspnea and anxiety or depression but whether this translates into a different prognosis remains to be determined. Our aim was to assess whether the greater clinical impact of COPD in women was associated with differences in 3-year mortality rates. Methods: In the French Initiatives BPCO real-world cohort, 177 women were matched up to 458 menon age (within 5- year intervals) and FEV1 (within 5% predicted intervals). 3-year mortality rate and survival were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: For a given age and level of airflow obstruction, women with COPD had more severe dyspnea, lower BMI, and were more likely to exhibit anxiety. Nevertheless, three-year mortality rate was comparable among men and women, respectively 11.2 and 10.8%. In a multivariate model, the only factors significantly associated with mortality were dyspnea and malnutrition but not gender. Conclusion: Although women with COPD experience higher levels of dyspnea and anxiety than men at comparable levels of age and FEV1, these differences do not translate into variations in 3-year mortality rates.
