Since 2016, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been the third-leading cause of death worldwide, with an estimated 3 million deaths (5.3% of all deaths), but with large regional variations [1]. Observed data from high-income countries (HICs) [2–5] and modelled data in two global studies [6, 7] have reported declines in COPD mortality rates since the 1990s. Globally, since 2006, modelled COPD mortality rates decreased by 21% [8]. Yet, little is known about observed trends in COPD mortality in Latin America, and more recently in Oceania and Europe.
