【 摘 要 】

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) carries a high symptom burden. Management of patients with advanced COPD should address patients' symptoms and care needs, optimise daily functioning and stabilise health status. The Living with Breathlessness study explored the question of how patients' and carers' needs change along the trajectory of advanced COPD and how guidelines should be amended to meet these changing needs.
