Spirometry is not enough to diagnose COPD in epidemiological studies: a follow-up study.
A hallmark of the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the measurement of post-bronchodilator (post-BD) airflow obstruction (AO) by spirometry, but spirometry is not enough for the provision of a clinical diagnosis. In the majority of previous epidemiological studies, COPD di...

A hallmark of the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the measurement of post-bronchodilator (post-BD) airflow obstruction (AO) by spirometry, but spirometry is not enough for the provision of a clinical diagnosis. In the majority of previous epidemiological studies, COPD diagnosis has been based on spirometry and a few clinical characteristics. The aim of our study was to identify outcomes in patients newly diagnosed with airflow obstruction (AO) based on a diagnostic work-up conducted as part of a population-based cross-sectional study in North-Western Russia. Spirometry was performed before (pre-BD) and after BD administration, and AO was defined using the FEV1/FVC <0.70 and FEV1/FVC <lower limit of normal cut-off values. Relevant symptoms were recorded. Participants with AO identified at baseline were then examined by a pulmonologist, including a clinical examination and second spirometry with BD test.
