Introduction: Lung diseases, especially COPD, are one of the leading causes of death. The aim of the study was to assess mortality caused by COPD, asthma and cor pulmonale in the years 2001-2004 in the Pomerania province. Material and methods: Death certificates of patients who died of asthma, COPD or cor pulmonale registered in Regional Health Centre were analyzed. Results: The mortality rate for COPD was 14.02/100 000, asthma 2.04/100 000 and cor pulmonale 2.4/100 000 inhabitants. Mortality rate from COPD increased from 12.5/100 000 found in 2001 to 15.6/100 000 found in 2004 (p = 0.005). The number of deaths was higher in the winter time. The peak mortality was found in patients 65 years old. 71% of COPD and cor pulmonale patients died i...
