Bronchiectasis (BE) might be frequently present in COPD but masked by COPD symptoms. We studied the relationship of clinical signs of bronchiectasis to the presence and extent of its radiological signs in patients of different COPD severity. Visit 4 data (GOLD grades 1-4) of the COSYCONET cohort was used. Chest CT scans were evaluated for bronchiectasis in 6 lobes using a 3-point scale (0: absence, 1: ≤50%, 2: >50% BE-involvement for each lobe). 1176 patients were included (61%male, age 67.3y), among them 38 (3.2%) with reported physicians' diagnosis of bronchiectasis and 76 (6.5%) with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AA1D). CT scans were obtained in 429 patients. Within this group, any signs of bronchiectasis were found in 46.6% of patients, whereby ≤50% BE occurred in 18.6% in ≤2 lobes, in 10.0% in 3-4 lobes, in 15.9% in 5-6 lobes; >50% bronchiectasis in at least 1 lobe was observed in 2.1%. Scores ≥4 correlated with an elevated ratio FRC/RV. The clinical diagnosis of bronchiectasis correlated with phlegm and cough and with radiological scores of at least 3, optimally ≥5. In COPD patients, clinical diagnosis and radiological signs of BE showed only weak correlations. Correlations became significant with increasing BE-severity implying radiological alterations in several lobes. This indicates the importance of reporting both presence and extent of bronchiectasis on CT. Further research is warranted to refine the criteria for CT scoring of bronchiectasis and to determine the relevance of radiologically but not clinically detectible bronchiectasis and their possible implications for therapy in COPD patients.

Rationale Alterations of acid-base metabolism are an important outcome predictor in acute exacerbations of COPD, whereas sufficient metabolic compensation and adequate renal function are associated with decreased mortality. In stable COPD there is, however, only limited information on the combined role of acid-base balance, blood gases, renal and respiratory function on exacerbation risk grading. Methods We used baseline data of the COPD cohort COSYCONET, applying linear and logistic regression analyses, the results of which were implemented into a comprehensive structural equation model. As most informative parameters it comprised the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), lung function defined via forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), intrathoracic gas volume (ITGV) and (diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), moreover arterial oxygen content (CaO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaCO2), base exess (BE) and exacerbation risk according to GOLD criteria. All measures were adjusted for age, gender, body-mass index, the current smoking status and pack years. Results 1506 patients with stable COPD (GOLD grade 1–4; mean age 64.5 ± 8.1 y; mean FEV1 54 ± 18 %predicted, mean eGFR 82.3 ± 16.9 mL/min/1.73 m2) were included. BE was linked to eGFR, lung function and PaCO2 and played a role as indirect predictor of exacerbation risk via these measures; moreover, eGFR was directly linked to exacerbation risk. These associations remained significant after taking into account medication (diuretics, oral and inhaled corticosteroids), whereby corticosteroids had effects on exacerbation risk and lung function, diuretics on eGFR, BE and lung function. Conclusion Even in stable COPD acid-base metabolism plays a key integrative role in COPD risk assessment despite rather small deviations from normality. It partially mediates the effects of impairments in kidney function, which are also directly linked to exacerbation risk.
