In contrast to the GesEPOC&#44; the latest versions of the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease &#40;GOLD&#41; document propose pharmacological therapeutic algorithms based on the classification of risk into 4 groups &#40;ABCD&#41;&#46; Unlike earlier versions&#44; they do not use lung function for classification&#44; although it is clearly pointed out that this variable predicts mortality and serves to guide non-pharmacological treatments&#44; so it is assessed independently on a numerical scale &#40;1&#8211;4&#41;&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Removing the criterion of lung function from the &#8220;ABCD&#8221; classification means that some subjects previously classified in high-risk groups are now reclassified as low risk&#44; possibly leading to therapeutic changes&#44; which generally involves a reduction in the intensity of drug treatment&#46; This a move that has generated some debate&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> and it raises the question whether the decision of the GesEPOC to include lung function as an integral part of risk stratification is appropriate and adds value with respect to the other 2 criteria &#40;dyspnea and exacerbations&#41;&#44;

such as the incidence of future exacerbations&#46; This is an important limitation&#44; since the main objective of the risk group classification is to guide treatment&#44; and it has not yet been demonstrated whether guiding treatment on the basis of this risk classification impacts on clinically relevant outcomes and&#44; in particular&#44; whether the inclusion of lung function in the decision to intensify the therapies has any effect on mortality&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our study has some limitations&#58; it is retrospective&#44; although the parameters were collected systematically in a healthcare database&#44; so very few variables were unavailable&#46; In this regard&#44; clinical histories in our setting are fully computerized&#44; so reliable data could be obtained on the outcome variable &#40;all-cause mortality&#41;&#46; The analysis would require external validation&#44; as it was carried out in a single center which&#44; moreover&#44; it was a dedicated clinic&#44; implying selection bias&#44; as confirmed by the high percentage of high-risk cases included&#46; Furthermore&#44; the follow-up period is long and the possible variations in the treatments over time or their influence on mortality could not be assessed&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite these drawbacks&#44; we believe that the study supports the validity of the GesEPOC risk stratification strategy&#44; and that this could be a point of departure for future well designed studies exploring the effect on clinical outcomes of guiding treatment on the basis of this classification&#46;</p></span>"

Unlike earlier versions&#44; they do not use lung function for classification&#44; although it is clearly pointed out that this variable predicts mortality and serves to guide non-pharmacological treatments&#44;

This a move that has generated some debate&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> and it raises the question whether the decision of the GesEPOC to include lung function as an integral part of risk stratification is appropriate and adds value with respect to the other 2 criteria &#40;dyspnea and exacerbations&#41;&#44;

so reliable data could be obtained on the outcome variable &#40;all-cause mortality&#41;&#46; The analysis would require external validation&#44; as it was carried out in a single center which&#44; moreover&#44; it was a dedicated clinic&#44; implying selection bias&#44; as confirmed by the high percentage of high-risk cases included&#46; Furthermore&#44; the follow-up period is long and the possible variations in the treatments over time or their influence on mortality could not be assessed&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite these drawbacks&#44;
