    COPD patients have a significantly higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared to the general population.

  • 2

    The prevalence of COPD is notably higher in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) populations than in the general population.

  • 3

    Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) may have mixed effects on cardiovascular outcomes in COPD patients, with potential cardioprotective benefits in certain sub-populations.

  • 4

    The study aims to clarify whether COPD is an independent cardiovascular risk factor in CKM populations already at elevated risk for MACE.

  • 5

    Five discrete cohorts were created to investigate the relationship between COPD and MACE among individuals with CKD, T2DM, obesity, and other risk factors.
