Fast decliner phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): applying machine learning for predicting lung function loss

The reproducibility of those phenotypes in a blind data set following COPD diagnosis suggests their generalisability among different populations.PMID:34716217 | DOI:10.1136/bmjresp-2021-000980
