But that does not mean it is easy to understand or manage. In everyday practice, pulmonologists face areas of controversy in COPD, for which evidence-based medicine is often unavailable. This volume considers where the current controversies in COPD lie, discussing areas such as screening, premature birth, asthma-COPD overlap syndrome, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care. This book will be of great interest to both clinicians and scientists, and aims to stimulate further discussion about this diverse and fascinating disease.  aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on February 29, 2016). 0aLungsxDiseases, Obstructive.1 aAnzueto, Antonio,eeditor.1 aHeijdra, Yvonne,eeditor.1 aHurst, John R.,eeditor.2 aEuropean Respiratory Society,epublisher.08iPrint version :z9781849840637 0aERS monograph.403European Respiratory Societyuhttp://www.erspublications.com/lookup/doi/10.1183/2312508X.erm6915
