Abstract

Objective: The purpose is study factors associated with the Decline of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Ratchaburi Hospital.

Methods: This was a retrospective study. The relevant data were collected from medical records of patients diagnosed with COPD in Ratchaburi Hospital from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2020 to identify factors associated with decrease of FEV1 using multiple regression analysis.

Results:  Eighty-four patients were included, 84.5% were male the mean age was 66.7 years. The annual reduction of FEV1 was 115.8 ml. after multiple regression analysis, the degree of smoking in the past, current cigarette smoker and the severity of COPD were related to the more reduction of FEV1. Of all factors, current cigarette smoking was the most important.

Conclusion: The current cigarette smoking is the most important factor related to reduction of FEV1 in patients with COPD. So cessation of smoking is advised in all COPD patients.
