ABSTRACT
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a public health problem due to its high prevalence (11% in the adult population in Spain), increasing incidence, and great social and economic impact. Despite this, it is underdiagnosed (and, therefore, undertreated) at a rate of around 80%. In this paper, a group of respiratory physicians specializing in COPD discuss 7 fundamental problems (cardinal sins) that contribute to this situation, with the explicit aim of proposing specific solutions that may help to improve this unfavorable state of affairs.
