ABSTRACT
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a complex pulmonary condition characterized by chronic airflow limitation. Within the spectrum of COPD, distinct overlap conditions exist, including Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO), COPD-Obstructive Sleep Apnea (COPD-OSA), Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE), and Bronchiectasis-COPD Overlap (BCO). This review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical and therapeutic implications of these conditions, highlighting the differences in complications compared with COPD alone in addition to the diagnostic challenges of identifying these conditions. Therapeutically tailored approaches are necessary for COPD overlap conditions considering the unique complications that may arise. Optimal pharmacological management, disease-specific interventions, and comprehensive patient-centered care are crucial components of treatment strategies. This review provides insights for healthcare professionals by enhancing their understanding and management of these conditions. This emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plans, considering the specific complications associated with each COPD overlap condition.
