Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the impact of facemask wearing on patients with COPD. The results showed that wearing facemasks increased the respiratory rate of COPD patients during inactivity, but had minimal impact on physiological indexes such as ETCO2, heart rate, and SpO(2). Furthermore, significant differences were observed between the facemask wearing and non-facemask wearing COPD patients in terms of certain activity-related measurements.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the prevalence of asthma, COPD, and ACO as comorbidities in COVID-19 patients, as well as their risks of mortality. The findings revealed that pre-existing asthma and COPD are associated with the incidence of COVID-19, with COPD significantly increasing the risk of mortality. The differences observed in prevalence and mortality risk appear to be influenced by country-specific factors, such as disease pathophysiology and diagnosis/treatment policies.

Summary: COPD is associated with autonomic nervous dysfunction as measured by HRV. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiac modulation were decreased, but there is still a predominance of sympathetic activity. There is high variability in the HRV measurement methodology, which affects clinical applicability.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated the effect of oxygen therapy on the prognosis of COPD patients with NOD. The results showed that oxygen therapy can improve the prognosis of blood oxygen partial pressure in COPD patients with simple NOD, but it has no significant effect on the survival rate, disease progression to LTOT, and reduction of carbon dioxide partial pressure.

Summary: Studies have shown a 50% reduction in hospital admissions for COPD exacerbations during the COVID-19 pandemic, likely due to a decrease in respiratory viral infections. However, the rate of community-treated exacerbations remains inconclusive, and there is not a significant relationship between exacerbation reduction and the COVID-19 Containment and Health Index. Future guidelines should include recommendations on respiratory virus infection control measures to reduce the burden of COPD exacerbations beyond the pandemic period.

Summary: Research on computed tomography (CT) bronchial parameter measurements shows conflicting results, and there is heterogeneity in the methodology and population of the studies. Significant differences exist between populations for parameters such as wall area percentage, but there is overlap in their ranges.
