Figures & data

Figure 1 The prevalence of comorbidities in COPD (prevalence >2%).

Notes: The diseases that are the topic of this study are marked in dark blue. Prevalence was calculated as a weighted average based on the study’s sample size. When the data in a manuscript were unclear, the researchers contacted the corresponding author of the manuscript.Citation8,Citation18,Citation30,Citation31,Citation33,Citation39,Citation52,Citation62,Citation82,Citation83,Citation86,Citation89Citation91,Citation95Citation104 The calculations were performed and the graph was made in Microsoft Excel 2013.

Abbreviations: GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease; MI, myocardial infarction.
