Estratto
La broncopneumopatia cronica ostruttiva (BPCO) è una delle maggiori cause di morbilità e mortalità in tutto il mondo. A causa dell’elevata prevalenza e della possibilità di essere una patologia altamente invalidante, i costi della BPCO possono rappresentare un importante impegno economico e sociale per la spesa sanitaria.
