In this population-based retrospective cohort study, the presence of physician-recognized COPD was associated with greater all-cause mortality and greater risk of mortality due to chronic lower respiratory diseases and lung cancer in patients with CS-dependent asthma. Early recognition and appropriate management of COPD can improve treatment outcomes in patients with CS-dependent asthma.
