PURPOSE: Early diagnosis and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may control disease progression. Screening for COPD using spirometry has been studied in the primary care and community settings but limitations remain with availability and quality of testing. Patients presenting at a surgical pre-admission clinic may be referred for screening and detection of undiagnosed airways disease.
