Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the most common comorbidities of COPD, and often leads to a worse prognosis. Although the estimated prevalence and risk factors of COPD-related PH have been widely reported, these results have not been well integrated. This study aimed to review the worldwide incidence and prevalence of COPD-related PH and explore possible factors affecting its prevalence.
