Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in over 16s: diagnosis and management (NG115)
This guideline covers diagnosing and managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD (which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis) in people aged 16 and older. It aims to help people with COPD to receive a diagnosis earlier so that they can benefit from treatments to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and keep them healthy for longer.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (acute exacerbation): antimicrobial prescribing (NG114)
This guideline sets out an antimicrobial prescribing strategy for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It aims to optimise antibiotic use and reduce antibiotic resistance.
This quality standard covers assessing, diagnosing and managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

Roflumilast for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (TA461)
Evidence-based recommendations on roflumilast (Daxas) for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults with chronic bronchitis.
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with COPD with a record of FEV1 in the preceding 12 months. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM105
This indicator covers registering patients with a clinical diagnosis of COPD before (start date), and patients with a clinical diagnosis of COPD on or after (start date) whose diagnosis has been confirmed by a quality assured post bronchodilator spirometry FEV1/FVC ratio below 0.7 between 3 months before or 3 months after diagnosis. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM169
Obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome and obesity hypoventilation syndrome in over 16s (NG202)
This guideline covers the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with OSAHS (COPD–OSAHS overlap syndrome) in people over 16. It aims to improve recognition, investigation and treatment of these related conditions.
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with COPD who have had influenza immunisation in the preceding 1 August to 31 March. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM106

This indicator covers the percentage of patients with very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a record of oxygen saturation value within the preceding 12 months. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM194
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with COPD on the register, who have had a review in the preceding 12 months, including a record of the number of exacerbations and an assessment of breathlessness using the Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM170
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with COPD and Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnoea Scale of 3 or more at any time in the preceding 15 months, with a subsequent record of an offer of referral to a pulmonary rehabilitation programme. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM47
This indicator covers the proportion of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale 3 and above who are referred to a pulmonary rehabilitation programme. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG08.
