However data on the influence of smoking itself on systemic inflammation in COPD patients are scarce. This study investigated the association between inflammation smoking status and disease. Methods A cross-sectional analysis comparing 53 COPD ex-smokers 24 COPD current smokers 24 current smoker controls and 34 never-smoker controls was performed. Assessments included medical history body composition spirometry and plasma concentration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha TNF-a interleukins IL -6 IL-8 and C-reactive protein CRP . Results Our exploratory analysis showed that serum TNF-a was higher in COPD current smokers pg mL and in current smoker controls pg mL when compared to COPD ex-smokers pg mL p and to never-smoker controls pg mL p . Multiple regression results with and without adjustment for covariates were consistent with the hypothesis that TNF-a levels were associated with smoking status in both models p and p . IL-6 and CRP were significantly higher in COPD patients when compared to smoker and never-smoker controls and the multiple regression analysis confirmed the association of these mediators with disease but not with smoking status p and p . IL-8 had only a borderline association with disease in both models p and p . No influence of disease severity inhaled corticosteroid fat-free mass FFM depletion and long term oxygen therapy LTOT use on systemic inflammation was found. Conclusion Smoking may influence
