EFA Book on COPD in Europe EFA Book on COPD in Europe. Sharing and caring Edited by Mariadelaide Franchi A Snapshot of COPD in Europe Jean Ann Gilder EFA Book on COPD Project Coordinator Naples, Italy

All you need to know about COPD in Europe. An unprecedented collection of information gathered by patients for policy makers

Mariadelaide “Lally” Franchi Editor of the EFA book on COPD in Europe Founder and President of the Italian Association of COPD Patients EFA Honorary Member Honorary President of FEDERASMA Italy Co-Chairwoman of International COPD Coalition

Background COPD is the 4th cause of death worldwide and is increasing COPD is preventable and treatable COPD is widely unknown and under recognised Information about COPD should build confidence and generate a positive outlook

The main objectives To be a concrete tool for advocacy for EFA, its members and all COPD patients organizations. To inform policy makers (EU and national) about COPD and prompt action where necessary. To encourage healthcare professionals to collaborate with patients organizations. To raise the media’s awareness about this disabling disease.

Making the book Phase 1: Building the questionnaire online See EFA Book p.101 & 102 Phase 1: Building the questionnaire online Phase 2: Identifying and contacting patients associations (total contacted: 36). Phase 3: Analyzing the results and completing missing data (official national statistics…). Phase 4: Writing the book. Phase 5: Revising the book with EFA and the Associations.

12 Participating Countries Austria Belgium Czech Republic Finland France Germany Ireland Italy Netherlands Portugal Serbia UK

Patients’ associations Contents EFA Book on COPD in Europe Basic facts Programmes on COPD Patients’ associations Prevalence, mortality, costs National programmes Guidelines Best practices & activities Access to care Laws

COPD Prevalence See EFA Book p.9-12 The prevalence of COPD varies from 2% (NL) to over 10% (AUS & DE). The prevalence among younger people (20-40 years old) is 3.6%. (European Community Respiratory Health Survey) Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development

COPD-related Death Rate See EFA Book p.11 & 13 From 0.209 per 1,000 (Finland) to 0.463 per 1,000 (Belgium). A word of caution: COPD is still unrecognized and death is often attributed to another disease. Different methods of compiling statistics affect COPD mortality data.

The Economic Burden See pages 16 & 17 The total annual financial burden of lung disease in Europe is nearly €102 billion. COPD accounts for almost half of these costs. Direct costs Indirect costs Source € 5,600 per patient --- Centre fédéral d’expertise des soins de santé € 530 € 1,078 Piperno et al. 2003 € 2,724 € 216 Social costs of asthma and COPD in Italy

Social Impact of COPD In the patients’ own words See EFA Book p.18 & 19 ‘The very high number of adolescents who smoke will lead to a dramatic increase of COPD in the future’. Austria ‘The prevalence of COPD is high in Italy and its impact in terms of disability very alarming; 21% of patients are severely disabled.’ Italy ‘... In many cases, patients are diagnosed late, when they are already disabled.’ France 'COPD limits physical and social activity, and loss of paid work'. Czech Republic

Access to care Early diagnosis  difficult/very difficult See EFA Book p.21 Early diagnosis  difficult/very difficult ‘Only 50% of patients receive an early diagnosis.’ Italy Information for COPD patients good information from the associations ‘There’s a lot of information but it is not coordinated.’ Germany Free treatment  no country surveyed gives full free access to treatment COPD patients (except Wales in the UK) ‘Patients in the UK still have to pay for oxygen concentrators.’

Access to pulmonary rehabilitation See EFA Book p.31 & 32 Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation reduces symptoms and improves the quality of life of COPD patients. Access to rehabilitation ‘difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ in 8/11 countries. 'Very easy’ in Portugal. Key messages National healthcare services are not fully aware that rehabilitation is important for the management of COPD. Access to these services varies in urban and non-urban areas.

Access to support services See EFA Book p.37&38

Access to care Main take home messages COPD patients should have access to early diagnosis, education, support services and the best treatment available. Patients should receive information about treatment options according to evidence-based guidelines. The management and education of COPD patients should be tailored to each individual’s needs also taking comorbidities into consideration.

The role of healthcare professionals in the countries surveyed In all countries surveyed, GPs are responsible for early diagnosis, management of mild and moderate COPD and long-term follow-up. Key messages Often GPs are not sufficiently aware of COPD or of the importance of early diagnosis Spirometry is not available for all patients at primary care level In most countries pulmonary specialists are highly qualified and their associations are active in national COPD programmes COPD nurses, respiratory therapists and lung function technicians are key in COPD management Their role should be recognized and their number increased

Involvement of patients associations in producing COPD clinical guidelines “Patients should have access to the best evidence-based treatment available.”

Smoking Cessation Background Over 709,000 adults, including 19,000 non-smokers, died in the EU-25 in 2002 from exposure to tobacco smoke at home and in their workplace. European Commission Smoking is the main cause of COPD. Not smoking is the most effective COPD preventive measure. EFA Survey Help to quit smoking is ‘easy/very easy' in most countries. Actions to promote smoke-free lifestyle are in force throughout Europe.

Smoking Cessation Take home messages Helplines, websites and public events are effective smoking cessation tools. Smoking should be banned in all public places and workplaces.

Sharing and caring: Patients Associations Activities and Best Practices

Patients associations MISSION To improve the health condition, quality of life and overall survival of patients and to advocate for the rights of patients, their families and carers.

Patients Associations Activities Support and information services for patients Advocacy to institutions Educational and awareness campaigns Promotion of scientific research Often in collaboration with other stakeholders

Patients in action Support groups Help lines Books Posters Campaigns Newsletters Check the Book for more…

How Europe is doing: Successes See EFA Book p. 92 The care of COPD patients has improved over the last decade COPD management guidelines have led to a better outcome for patients More attention is given to quality of life Many countries have made advances in education, prevention and access to treatment Prevention is improving also thanks to smoking bans in most European countries In many countries, laws have reduced indoor and outdoor pollution

Outstanding problems … Future actions The epidemiological and social impact of COPD must be effectively recognized now. COPD still is largely unknown and underdiagnosed Early diagnosis must be improved Efforts should be made to standardize the level of care within individual countries and among countries Severely affected patients have great difficulty in accessing essential rehabilitation programmes. A coordinated and comprehensive strategy on COPD at European and national level is needed, taking into consideration local situations, and involving EU and national policy makers, and all stakeholders

This book is a tool! “This book is part of a positive outlook for the future to tackle COPD.” Lally Franchi
