CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD) AND INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE (ILD): A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON QUALITY OF LIFE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) are two chronic respiratory conditions that significantly impact patients' quality of life. While both conditions share similarities in terms of symptoms and management, there are also notable differences that warrant investigation. This research paper aims to compare the quality of life in patients with COPD and ILD, examining factors such as symptom burden, functional limitations, impact on daily life, psychological well-being, and treatment challenges. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and potentially supplemented with primary research findings, this paper seeks to provide insights into the unique challenges faced by patients with COPD and ILD and the implications for clinical management and patient care.
