Synopsis: 
Early intervention could slow the decline of FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD) at stages I and II, and thus delay the progression of early COPD and improve their quality of life.
ABSTRACT
 
Objective: Early intervention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes health education, smoking cessation, pulmonary rehabilitation and enhancing immunity (administration of influenza vaccine and polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus Calmette-Guerin [BCG-PSN]). The effect of early intervention was investigated systematically in patients with COPD at different stages.
