Answer:

COAD -  Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease

Explanation:

Chronic bronchitis and emphysema (also known as chronic obstructive airway disease or COAD) is the commonest cause of shortness of breath in the elderly, especially those with history of smoking or passive smoking. Usual symptoms include frequent cough, sputum and wheezing.

Current smokers with stage 1 COPD have a life expectancy of 14.0 years, or 0.3 years lower. Smokers with stage 2 COPD have a life expectancy of 12.1 years, or 2.2 years lower. Those with stage 3 or 4 COPD have a life expectancy of 8.5 years, or 5.8 years lower.

After taking all these factors into consideration, your doctor will classify you under one of the four stages of COPD, which are mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. Your treatment will be based on which of these stages you are placed in.
