For this purpose, blood and post-bronchodilator FEV1 were recorded. Two groups of comparisons were carried out in mild COPD (mCOPD) (n=31) and smokers without COPD as control (C) (n=31). The test by GC-MS and FIA was performed. The results were processed to construct PLS-DA and compare the metabolomic profiles obtained.Results: PLS-DA notably differentiates mCOPD from C (Fig. 1A, 1B, and 1C). Oleic acid, palmitic acid, urea, inositol, and glucose had the best AUC values in the group with accelerated FEV1 decline (Table2). Additionally, we observed a decrease in fatty acids and amino acids (phenylalanine, leucine, pyroglutamate, proline, threonine, and valine) in contrast to the increase in phosphocholine (Fig. 2A and 2B).Conclusions: Smokers can experience accelerated declines in lung function similar to those seen in mCOPD. Metabolomic analysis identified six metabolites associated with rapid functional decline.Acknowledgment: Scholarship not conditioned by Menarini laboratories.Scholarship not conditioned by AstraZeneca laboratories.Scholarship project IIS-AES PI16/01FootnotesCite this article as: European Respiratory Journal 2020; 56: Suppl. 64, 2712.This abstract was presented at the 2020 ERS International Congress, in session “Respiratory viruses in the "pre COVID-19" era”.This is an ERS International Congress abstract.
