This review indicated the presence of poor adherence to nonsurgical interventions among people from minority ethnic backgrounds living with COPD. However, due to the heterogeneity in population groups considered and compared within the individual studies, it is challenging to identify and understand the key inequalities influencing adherence to nonsurgical interventions. Further research is needed to better explore this.
