Mortality trends and disparities for coexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease: A retrospective analysis of deaths in the United States from 1999–2020
The findings suggest that mortality rates for CVD and COPD have increased in recent years, coinciding with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have exacerbated outcomes in vulnerable populations. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to address the overlapping impacts of CVD and COPD, especially in high-risk groups.
