These patients had mild to moderate COPD and were followed for 14.5 years. Of 5887 patients, 731 died. The most frequent causes of death were lung cancer (33%), cardiovascular disease (22%), and cancer in organs other than the lung (21%). Only 57 patients (7.8%) died of respiratory disease other than lung cancer.
