Feasibility and performance of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease population screener and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease screening questionnaire in a Chinese physical examination center

CONCLUSIONS: Applying the COPD-PS and COPD-SQ in Chinese PECs is feasible, cost-effective and effective. COPD-PS and COPD-SQ can facilitate the early diagnosis of COPD, and whether they can improve the participants' quality of life would benefit a further study. It is recommended that the COPD-PS or COPD-SQ questionnaires be added to the screening of the physical examination program in PECs as part of health checks for people over 40 years old.PMID:38505045 | PMC:PMC10944747 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1967
