New Zealand Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Guidelines: 2025 update
This update revises the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ's Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Guidelines in line with the latest national and international evidence. The aim is to provide simple, practical, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis, assessment and management of COPD in clinical practice in an Aotearoa New Zealand context. The intended users are health professionals responsible for delivering acute and chronic COPD care in community and hospital settings, and those responsible for the training of such health professionals.
