Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) have an increased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, highlighting the need ...
Recent studies show that many patients are being treated for COPD without confirmatory spirometry. In-office testing is easy and available. A recent study showed that only 32% of patients admitted to ...
