• Description:
  Chronic respiratory diseases include a broad range of conditions marked by variability in the range of symptoms, causative and exacerbating factors, and diagnostic criteria. The "upstream" causes and "downstream" consequences of chronic respiratory diseases are complex, and related to the specific type of disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) National Center for Health Statistics, chronic lower respiratory diseases were the third leading cause of death in the United States in 2013, responsible for 5.7% of U.S. deaths (Xu et al. 2016). Hospitalization is a frequent adverse outcome of a chronic respiratory disease diagnosis, with the average duration of a hospitalization of 4.5 days for chronic bronchitis and 3.6 days for asthma in 2010 (CDC 2012a). Population-based national health surveys have found that approximately 12% of adults reported obstructive lung disease, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma in 2014 (Blackwell and Lucas 2015).
