Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition which causes critical health concerns and along with socioeconomic burden. Even with the maximum inhaled therapy, oral anti-inflammatory, oxygen, noninvasive ventilation, and pulmonary rehabilitation COPD patients continue to have exacerbations leading to significant impairment of quality of life [1].
