Abstract: < 0.000001), while other regions showed lower or non-significant changes. West Virginia had the highest state-level mortality, and Hawaii the lowest. Targeted public health strategies focusing on smoking cessation, early screening of high-risk populations, improved access to pulmonary care, and reduction of regional healthcare disparities may help address factors associated with COPD- and respiratory failure-related mortality in the United States. These findings represent population-level associations and should not be interpreted as causal relationships.
