Brief Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is associated with systemic and local inflammation. exposure to harmful gases and particles play important role in initiating the inflammatory processes leading to the development of COPD. In high- and medium-income countries, tobacco smoking is considered the predominant source of these noxious elements.1 Asthma, COPD, rhinitis and rhinosinusitis (RS) are chronic diseases of the respiratory tract with an estimated global prevalence of about 12%.2The concept of united airways diseases (UAD) was formulated on the initial observation of the coexistence of allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma.3

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • degree of Upper Airway inflammation and severity of COPD

    patients with high UAD mostly affect degree of obstruction which assessed by FEV1 in PFT

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • high UAD and severity of COPD togeher and impact on quality of life in those patients

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

copd patients with high upper airway symptoms

The SNOT22 nasal subdomain (SNOT22nasal) consists of seven questions (no. 1-5 + 7-8), which include: "need to blow nose", "sneezing", "runny nose", "nasal obstruction", "loss of smell or taste", "post-nasal discharge" and "thick nasal discharge". the total SNOT22 has been found to have a median score of 7 points in healthy volunteers

Diagnostic Test: IL B,IL 3 in nasal swap and serum

copd patients with low upper airway symptoms

The SNOT22 nasal subdomain (SNOT22nasal) consists of seven questions (no. 1-5 + 7-8), which include: "need to blow nose", "sneezing", "runny nose", "nasal obstruction", "loss of smell or taste", "post-nasal discharge" and "thick nasal discharge". the total SNOT22 has been found to have a median score of 7 points in healthy volunteers

Diagnostic Test: IL B,IL 3 in nasal swap and serum

Interventions

Interleukin (IL)-1-beta and IL-3 will be measured in patients' serum and supernatant from the nasal swap using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
