With the regard to «Federal Standard of medical care due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (when rendering specialized assistance)» the systematization and stratification of clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods of investigation used in the diagnostics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)were carried out. For this purpose we studied existing practice of diagnostics of COPD in elderly patients at the hospital on the basis of analysis of 672 case histories of patients aged 60 years and older at geriatric department of the hospital. Peculiarities of application by the doctors of the hospital of the therapeutic profile of a number of laboratory and instrumental methods of research in elderly patients with COPD in connection with the presence of age-related changes in patients were determined. This caused the necessity to make adjustments to the standartization of clinical thinking and standard for this disease at the regional level.
