With respect to changes of lung function and symptoms we noted significant differences between above mentioned phenotypes.Conclusion: Two clinical phenotypes (ACOS and NON-AE) of subjects with severe COPD we can described as stable over time.Significant differences in FEV1 declination and symptoms evolution between different COPD phenotypes in the prospective two-year evaluation were noted.
