Figure 1 Estimated annual per-patient direct medical costs of COPD ($US 2005) by first author of study and base year of estimate. Excess costs = difference between medical expenditure of patients with and without COPD. Attributable costs = costs directly attributable based on diagnosis codes for COPD.
