Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common pathologies of the respiratory system. This disease ranks third in the group of the main causes of death in the world. The effective treatment of COPD has been developed by today. However, a significant part of physicians has an insufficient amount of education in this matter.

Materials and methods: The article represents the results of anonymous prospective survey within the ASCO project (full title – “Assessment of Senior Medical Students in the Field of COPD”), aimed at assessing the basic knowledge in the COPD treatment. The survey involved 321 physicians and 221 senior medical students from ten cities of Russia and Ukraine.

Results and discussion: According to the survey, the following levels of correct answers were given by the doctors and students: possible fixed combinations of β2-agonist – 33.9% and 24.5%; the optimal delivery device for a patient – 50.8% and 41.8; the correct drugs for COPD initial therapy with a high risk of exacerbations – 31.7% and 15.3%, andwith a low risk – 54.9% and 25.9%, respectively. The correct drugs for COPD aggravation were selected by 43.3% of doctors and 34.5% of students; the right empirical treatment of COPD infectious exacerbation – by 72.4% and 40%, and the correct reserve drugs – by 63.9% and 36.2%, respectively.

Conclusion: The survey showed that the respondents had medium level of knowledge in COPD treatment. Hence, curricula need to be adjusted in medical universities, and additional educational activities are required for medical practitioners in order to improve the quality of their knowledge in this field.
