Pack-Years of Smoking
Pack-Years of Smoking

• To calculate smoking pack-years:
– Divide the number of cigarettes smoked per day
by 20 (the number of cigarettes in a pack)
– Then multiply by the number of years smoked
(70 cigarettes/day ÷ 20 cigarettes/pack) X 10 years = 35 pack-years
(35 cigarettes/day ÷ 20 cigarettes/pack) X 20 years = 35 pack-years
(20 cigarettes/day ÷ 20 cigarettes/pack) X 35 years = 35 pack-years

COPD
Asthma
Often in midlife
Often in childhood

Often
Smoking
(often ≥20 pack-years)
Atopy
(ie, allergy and/or eczema)
Most notable during
exercise
Most notable at night or
early morning
“Mostly bad days”
“Mostly good days”
May be some reversibility
with bronchodilation
Largely reversible
with bronchodilation

Key Indicators of COPD
www.practicingclinicians.com
• Chronic cough
– Present intermittently or every day
– Often present throughout the day;
seldom only nocturnal
• Chronic sputum production
– Any pattern chronic sputum
production may indicate COPD
• Dyspnea that is:
– Progressive (worsens over time)
– Persistent (present every day)
– Worse with exercise
– Worse during respiratory infections

Active reduction of risk factors: influenza vaccine.
Add short-acting bronchodilators when needed
Add regular Rx with 1 long-acting
bronchodilator. Add rehabilitation
Add inhaled corticosteroids
if repeated exacerbations
Long-acting bronchodilators and corticosteroids
are also used for asthma
but in the reverse order.
