The report “Breaking the Surface, Breaking the Silence” was released jointly by COPD Canada and the Family Physicians Airway Group of Canada, and highlights the under-reporting of flare-ups or “lung attacks” by patients. It also explores the gaps that exist between physicians and COPD patients that contribute to the under-reporting of “lung attacks,” and makes recommendations for how to improve COPD patient outcomes.

Le rapport « Remonter à la surface – Rompre le silence » a été publié conjointement par COPD Canada et le regroupement canadien des médecins de famille en santé respiratoire. Il met en évidence l’insuffisance de signalement des poussées actives ou « crise pulmonaires » des patients et démontre que l’écart qui existe entre les médecins les patients souffrant de MPOC contribue à la sous-déclaration de « crises pulmonaires ». Le rapport fait aussi des recommandations sur des façons d’améliorer les résultats des patients souffrant de MPOC. Cliquez ici pour télécharger une copie PDF du rapport. |
