No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will test how well short questionnaires, with and without a simple breathing test called 'peak flow', can identify people with COPD compared to the gold-standard diagnostic test called spirometry. We will test this in 10,500 people from three low- and middle-income countries, namely Nepal, Peru and Uganda. We will also examine the feasibility of implementing our case-finding intervention at scale.
