摘要
The global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) 2025 report, released on November 11th, 2024, marks the second update since GOLD 2023. Overall, this version maintains similar definition, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment for COPD as in GOLD 2024, but with revisions and expansions in 12 specific areas. These include: added explanations and references on lung function trajectories, expanded content on dysbiosis, updates and additions to spirometry, revised cardiovascular risk information for COPD patients, updated guidance on CT imaging for COPD, new insights into the impact of climate change on COPD, updated vaccination recommendations, updated follow-up pharmacological treatments, new guidance for delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation, revised recommendations on ICS withdrawal in patients on LABA+ICS therapy, updated information on PDE3 and PDE4 inhibitors and other exacerbation-reducing medications, and additional content on pulmonary hypertension. The article introduces and interprets the new contents.
