Abstract: Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of COPD patients attacked by respiratory system diseases in Jinan City during flu season and provide a reference for the health intervention and management. Methods According to cross-sectional study design, 948 COPD patients( ≥ 40 years)were selected and diagnosed by general hospitals which are at least Rank Two in Shizhong District, Huaiyin District and Tianqiao District during January 1 to October 31, 2013, as research objects. Self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the incidence of respiratory system diseases in COPD patients during November 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The characteristics on incidences of research objects were descriptively analyzed. Results During the influenza season, a total of 450 in 948 COPD patients suffered from respiratory system disease, and the attack rate was 47.47%(450/948). The top three diseases were bronchitis(45.58%), upper respiratory tract infection(22.33%)and influenza(10.35%). Twice or more times of incidences accounted for 24.58%(233/948). The peak incidence of respiratory disease in COPD patients appeared in December. Conclusion The attack rate of COPD patients suffering respiratory disease during the influenza season was high. COPD patients should be well treated to prevent disease during flu season.
