Average age of 68 years old (SD 9,5). 77,2% men. 43.8% current smokers. FEV1 post-bronchodilator average 61,9% (SD11,44). GOLD classification: 51,1% A, 26,8% B, 6,6% C and 15,5% D. GesEPOC classification: Low risk 59%.38,5% no exacerbations with emphysema, 21,3% no exacerbation with chronic bronchitis, 8,1% exacerbator with emphysema, 6,3% chronic bronchitis with emphysema and 25,8% ACO phenotype. 8% had at least one serious exacerbation. 34,8% had inhaled corticosteroids as a treatment. 20,6% were without treatment and from these 78ç5 were GOLD A and 89,8% had low risk.ConclusionsGOLD A and B represents more tan half of the total of the patients.According to GesEPOC guideline the predominant patients are low risk and no exacerbator phenotypeThere is a high proportion of ACO phenotype that matches with literature.The great majority of patients not receiving treatment were GOLD A and low risk Implementation Science/Service Development Research Ideas on Respiratory Conditions and Tobacco Dependency Abstract Declaration of Interest We do not have conflict of interest.
