NCT03713931

Brief Summary

COPD is underdiagnosed and spirometry is not widely available in primary care settings. This study explore the value of PUMA´s questionnaire in a case finding strategy to detect patients to perform spirometry in a real world scenario of primary care health venues.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • COPD prevalence

    FEV1 / FVC post-BD \<0.70

    2 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • PUMA ≥ 5 prevalence

    1 day

Interventions

Every patient who meet the criteria for active search (older than 40 years, smokers or ex-smokers of more than 10 pack-years who attend the usual care in the first level of care) will be scored with the PUMA´s questionnaire in an application and electronic database (RedCap) specially designed for the active search of cases. Patients with PUMA´s score ≥ 5, and without exclusion criteria for spirometry will be referred to perform spirometry at the institution

Also known as: Spirometry

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The target population for this active case finding study will be patients older than 40 years old, smokers or ever-smokers of more than 10 pack-years, who attend to the first level of care in the real world scenario of primary care facilities (for example: community hospital, university institutions or other environments) without respiratory specialists.

You may qualify if:

  • Outpatients who attend the first level of care for any reason in usual care
  • Informed consent: subjects must give their signed and dated informed consent to participate.
  • Age older 40 years of age
  • Smoker or ex-smoker of more than 10 years package

You may not qualify if:

  • pregnancy,
  • patients with contraindication for spirometry (thoracic, abdominal or neurological surgery,
  • acute coronary syndrome, retinal detachment, hospitalization for any cardiac problem in the last 3 months)
  • patients who at the time of performing the spirometry heart rate ≥ 120 bpm,
  • patients with physical or mental incapacity to answer the questionnaire
  • patients with physical or mental disability complete the study procedures,
  • patients being treated for tuberculosis or any other infectious respiratory disease
  • current participants of a clinical trial.
