[Expert consensus on the implementation and management of multidisciplinary team care for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(2026 edition)].

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a highly heterogeneous airway disease, and often coexists with other pulmonary and extra-pulmonary diseases. The traditional single-disciplinary approach cannot meet the medical needs of patients with COPD. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach, led by respiratory physicians, has been advocated for the care of patients with COPD, but standardized practice guidelines are still lacking. Therefore, the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assembly of the Chinese Thoracic Society convened experts from relevant fields to reach a consensus based on evidence-based medicine and clinical experience, and formulated 11 recommendations regarding the implementation process, target population, indications, and management of MDT care for COPD. This consensus aims to propose a standardized framework for the implementation and management of MDT, thereby improving the quality of multidisciplinary care for COPD in China.
