Early diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can improve pulmonary function and reduce the incidence of exacerbations of acute COPD, thereby improving the patient's quality of life. In China, due to limited medical resources, COPD patients often cannot be diagnosed and treated early, so the benefits of early screening of patients with COPD high risk still lack effective supporting data.
