  • Title: Improving early detection of COPD: the role of spirometry screening assessment.
    Author: Holt K.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 2004 Nov; 20(3):31-3. PubMed ID: 15552437.
    Abstract:
    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is on the increase, yet public awareness of the condition remains low. Early diagnosis and smoking cessation can arrest the decline in lung status. A primary care-based spirometry screening assessment initiative has improved diagnosis, resulting in early intervention for patients with COPD.
