Abstract: We applaud and totally agree with the concept expressed by A. Ostrem and colleagues that in order to win the battle against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) we must all join forces. Indeed, the coincidence of important research questions related to COPD between the document generated by the International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG) in 2010 [1] and the recently published American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) statement on research questions in COPD [2] is evidence of the agreement that exists among everyone interested in this topic. ATS/ERS task force agrees coordinated action by all groups (including patients) aimed at combating COPD is beneficial <http://ow.ly/R2oNy>
