Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and such patients tend to carry a heavy burden of risk factors for CVD. There is little information on the documentation and management of CVD risk factors in COPD patients.
AIM: To audit the recording and management of CVD risk factors in 200 COPD patients attending the respiratory out-patient clinics at two University teaching hospitals.
DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of hospital records.
RESULTS: While there was reasonable recording of a history of CVD risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, the actual recording of risk factor levels was poor-blood pressure and heart rate were recorded in less than half of subjects; lipids, waist circumference, HbA1c and height were essentially not recorded at all.
CONCLUSIONS: Best practice guidelines and standard operating procedures for CVD risk factor recording and control require to be developed if the major cause of death in COPD subjects, CVD, is to be addressed. An outline for a standard operating procedure is presented in the Appendix. Serial audits will be required to assess the efficacy of such measures.
