N2 - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a multifaceted disease, with great variability between individuals in its presentation. The specific characteristics can be assessed and described from the point of view of patient centered outcomes which yields a different picture from pulmonary physiological or inflammatory description of the disease which in turn is again different from an assessment from a systemic point of view. The same applies when assessing the effects of interventions. In this thesis, a range of these different angles of describing a patient’s severity of disease and response to therapy have been brought together.
