Abstract

Abstract. The course of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is complicated by various concomitant diseases; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of COPD as a potential comorbidity on the prognosis of the severe course of COVID-19. Preliminary data on Covid-19 have shown a lower prevalence of COPD than would be expected in an acute respiratory illness such as COVID-19. This fact has led to the assumption that the use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (IGCS) can protect against infection or the development of a severe course of COVID-19. The analysis of studies conducted in different groups of patients with a severe course of Сovid-19 with comorbidity of COPD made it possible to reveal statistically significant data for improving prognostic scales of an unfavorable prognosis of the disease. Further study and application of such indicators in general clinical practice will allow timely detection of patients of risk groups for the purpose of targeted monitoring and early change or intensification of treatment tactics, including concomitant diseases.
