GOLD Guidelines
The GOLD Guidelines refer to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines, which provide evidence-based recommendations for managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). These guidelines aim to improve diagnosis, treatment, and management of COPD, focusing on reducing symptoms, preventing flare-ups, and enhancing patients' quality of life. They emphasize the importance of personalized treatment plans, which may include medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes like quitting smoking. By following these guidelines, healthcare professionals can help patients better manage their condition and understand its impact on their daily lives.
