Differences between GesEPOC and GOLD in 2017
de-Torres JP (1), Marin JM (2).
The GesEPOC Spanish COPD guidelines first appeared in 2012,1 and were subsequently updated in 2014.
For the first time in the international medical literature, a different approach was proposed for the classification of clinical phenotypes and corresponding treatment strategies.
This clinical practice guideline stratified disease severity from a multidimensional standpoint, taking into account symptom intensity, risk of exacerbations, lung function involvement, and the use of multidimensional indices such as BODE or BODEx.
