INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the commonest cause of mortality and morbidity in our country. It is dened as “a common preventable and treatable disease characterised by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases.” COPD is currently fourth leading cause of death in the world1 but is projected to be the third leading cause of death by 2020.
