Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease module models a marginal disease process over the demographic population. It owns disease incidence, prevalence, disability and mortality. Its local disease-free value is derived from the demographic population and the current disease states.

The oral-prednisolone, inhaled-salbutamol and ipratropium calculations live in separate intervention modules. Appendix 3 packages CR2 and CR4 select the relevant components and change their parameter values in the comparison scenario. Tobacco affects the declared disease incidence input.

The compiler supplies the opening-state reconciliation, annual demographic inputs and selected components. Baseline and comparison use the same graph.

The source repository is ncd-copd (opens in a new tab). Its module contract and the selected intervention contracts are the detailed source of the current calculation and assumptions.
