Abstract

Most health professionals working in the respiratory department might have heard of some of the complaints from COPD or asthma patients. Therefore, in this article, the different experiences of COPD and asthma patients were assessed. A cohort study using 402 adults with COPD and asthma patients completed a respiratory questionnaire and a lung function test was conducted monthly using spirometry and was analyzed in Abuja. In total, 402 participants were recruited, 262 with COPD, and 140 with asthma. During the thirty (30) months, participants reported quality of life impairment. Reported impairment was significantly associated with FEV1 and t, the dyspnoea scale was positively linked with FEV1 changes. Participants showed impairment in their quality of life. Most of the changes in quality of life are determined by factors other than those considered relevant for treatment and follow-up. The outcome of this study showed that participants’ symptoms affect the participants’ quality of life.
