Based on the global initiative for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the 80 confirmed stable COPD patients with mild-to-moderate were involved, 80 COPD patients with severe and very severe, and age, sex, all matching 40 cases without lung disease. The participants information was collected. Whole blood and pulmonary function were examined at three time points: admission, six months and one year, at the same time, targeted metabolomic analysis method are applied to detect serum metabolites, According to the access to assess the different severity of COPD in the stable period and the level of metabolites in different admission periods. After that, correlation analysis was conducted with pulmonary function indicators and other clinical indicators to observe the research value of inflammation-related metabolites in the development of COPD.
