- Purpose: Women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have more symptoms, more exacerbations, lower health status scores, and more comorbidity. However, it is unclear whether management of COPD differs by sex. The aim of the study was to investigate differences by sex in the care of patients with COPD.Patients and methods: The population included 1329 primary and secondary care patients with a doctor ' s diagnosis of COPD in central Sweden. Data were obtained from patient questionnaires and included patient characteristics and data on achieved COPD care. Analyses included cross-tabulations, chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression using several measures in COPD management as dependent variables, female sex as independent variable, and with adjustment for age groups, previous exacerbations, COPD Assessment Test, level of dyspnea assessed by the modified Medical Research Council scale, comorbid conditions, self-rated moderate/severe disease, level of education and body mass index.Results: Women were more likely to receive triple therapy (OR 1.86 (95% CI 1.38-2.51)), to have any maintenance treatment (OR 1.82 (95% CI 1.31-2.55)), to be on sick leave (OR 2.16 (95% CI 1.19-3.93)), to have received smoking cessation support (OR 1.80 (95% CI 1.18-2.75)) and to have had pneumococcal vaccination (OR 1.82 (95% CI 1.37-2.43)), all independently of age, severity of disease or other potential confounders.Conclusion: Management of COPD differs by sex, with women being more actively managed than men. It is unclear whether this is due to patient-or care-related factors.
