What the study is about

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is highly prevalent globally, with considerable morbidity and mortality associated. In the US, it is the 4th leading cause of death, as well as contributing to significant costs on healthcare utilization including hospitalization. Population-based screening for COPD has not been recommended by the US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). However, LDCT screening for lung cancer in patients aged 50- 80 with ≥ 20 pack year smoking has been shown to improve survival. COPD is highly prevalent within LCS programs, with estimated rates of obstructive lung function of up to 59% and evidence of emphysema on CT scan in around 70%.

Being studied: Determine COPD prevalence utilizing spirometry along with CT scans and symptom assessments in the THCI lung cancer screening populatio

Conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
