DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a collection of diseases that are chronic, progressive obstructive lung disorders which are not fully reversible. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and is expected to be the fifth leading cause of death worldwide by 2020. The Asian-Pacific region appears to be disproportionately affected by COPD. Three possible explanations for this exist: the extremely high use of tobacco particularly in men; exposure to biomass fuels, particularly in women; and, the adverse effects of urban pollution. Regardless of possible causes, COPD is the only leading cause of death throughout the world that is increasing in prevalence and the Asian Pacific region will be the major area of growth. The proposed conference will specifically focus on the impact of COPD in the Asian Pacific region. The conference will be organized in an" Aspen Lung" format with invited speakers to discuss specific topics and "State of the State" related to COPD. Under each topic there will be one expert speaker and "State of the State" presentations will represent overviews of a defined topic such as GOLD or an overview of COPD from regions or countries of the Pacific Rim area. Abstract presentations will be solicited and judged on the quality of the submitted abstract, together with consideration for geographic representation. The meeting will be held January 10-12, 2003 in Kona, Hawaii. The state of Hawaii is internationally recognized as avenue for review and discussion of important political, economic and health-related East-West issues. This permits the site of the meeting to be on U.S. soil, and yet to be centrally located in the Pacific Rim area and to be easily accessible to attendees from this area. Information will be disseminated by the sponsoring international societies to their respective societies to solicit interest in abstract presentation and "attendance only" at the meeting. The goals of this meeting are: 1) To develop a multidisciplinary forum to improve the understanding of the impact of COPD in the Pacific Rim. 2) To develop a scientific program where scientists and clinicians from East and West can present and review the latest research and information on COPD in a context where social, cultural and geographic factors can be discussed. 3) To incorporate representatives of lay advocacy groups into the COPD forum to represent the perspectives of COPD patients into this process. and 4) To establish research priorities for COPD relevant to the Pacific Rim.

描述(由申请人提供)： 慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)是一组慢性、进行性阻塞性肺疾病，不能完全逆转。它是美国第四大死因，预计到2020年将成为全球第五大死因。亚太地区受慢性阻塞性肺病的影响似乎不成比例。对此有三种可能的解释：烟草使用量极高，特别是男性；接触生物质燃料，特别是女性；以及城市污染的不利影响。不管可能的原因如何，慢性阻塞性肺病是全世界发病率不断上升的唯一主要死亡原因，亚太地区将是主要的增长地区。拟召开的会议将专门讨论慢性阻塞性肺病对亚太地区的影响。 会议将以“阿斯彭肺脏”的形式组织，邀请演讲者讨论与慢性阻塞性肺病有关的具体主题和“状况”。在每个专题下将有一名专家发言者，“国家状况”专题将代表对已确定专题的概述，如黄金专题或环太平洋地区各区域或国家对慢性阻塞性肺病的概览。摘要报告将征求意见，并根据提交摘要的质量以及对地理代表性的考虑进行评判。会议将于2003年1月10日至12日在夏威夷科纳举行。夏威夷州被国际公认为审查和讨论与东西方有关的重要政治、经济和卫生问题的途径。这使得会议的地点可以在美国领土上，而不是位于环太平洋地区的中心位置，来自该地区的与会者很容易到达。赞助国际协会将向其各自的协会传播信息，以吸引人们对会议的摘要陈述和“仅限出席”感兴趣。本次会议的目标是：1)发展一个多学科论坛，以提高对环太平洋地区慢性阻塞性肺病影响的了解。2)制定一个科学计划，让来自东西方的科学家和临床医生可以在可以讨论社会、文化和地理因素的背景下展示和审查关于COPD的最新研究和信息。3)将非专业倡导团体的代表纳入COPD论坛，以代表COPD患者的观点参与这一进程。以及4)确定与环太平洋地区相关的慢性阻塞性肺病的研究重点。
