The relationship between the COPD Assessment Test score and airflow limitation in Japan in patients aged over 40 years with a smoking history. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A large number of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Japan remain undiagnosed, primarily due to the underuse of spirometry. Two studies were conducted to see whether the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) in primary care has the

Assessment of Small Airways Function in Eosinophilic Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry
Introduction Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is an important phenotype of pulmonary function in clinical and public health practice. It is possible for some patients to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at an early stage.
