COPD Death Rate 45+ Yrs

State: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the death rate due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (ICD-10 codes J40-J44, and excludes asthma) among persons aged 45 years and older.

Why is this important?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a condition that restricts airflow into the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. COPD is most commonly a mix of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and usually results from tobacco use, although it can also be a result of pollutants in the air, genetic factors, and respiratory infections. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and chronic cough. There is no cure for COPD, but smoking cessation, medications, and therapy or surgery can help individuals manage their symptoms.
