Study Assessing Utility of a Clinical Questionnaire to Identify Subjects With Features of Both Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Summary of spirometry data: forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)

FEV1 measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced breath in 1 second. FVC is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. FEV1 and FVC were performed on Day 1 (pre- and post-bronchodilator) using spirometry. Spirometry results obtained within 6 months and were used for this study. For participants without spirometry in the past 6 months, spirometry was performed to obtain pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV1, FVC.

Time frame: Day 1

Summary of spirometry data: Reversibility

Questionnaire designed to clinically differentiate participants with ACOS from patients who have either asthma alone (i.e. without persistent obstruction) or COPD alone (i.e., non-reversible). Spirometry results obtained within 6 months and were used for this study. For participants without spirometry in the past 6 months, spirometry was performed to obtain pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV1, FVC and reversibility.
