ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a condition with high prevalence worldwide. It is preventable and treatable, but with very high levels of underdiagnosis. The use of screening tools is imperative. These tools are easily applied, interpreted, and validated in different populations and help not only the clinician to confirm the diagnostic suspicion, but also the patients to become aware of their disease. The objective is to validate the COPD-Population Screener Questionnaire (COPD-PS) in one Colombian population. Materials andMethods:
A prospective cohort study was carried out. Participants had to be older than 40 years, show a good quality spirometry, and have completed the COPD-PS questionnaire twice. COPD was defined as FEV1/FVC < 0.7 and with a history of exposure to tobacco smoke. A reproducibility and validation analysis has been conducted.Result:
Out of a total of 2.199 potential subjects, 1.662 entered the final analysis; the prevalence of COPD in the study was 21.1%. With the COPD-PS questionnaire cut-off point of four, the sensitivity was 77.2% and the specificity was 46.3%, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.66 (95% CI 0.63-0.69) (p<0.01). An intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.817 (95% CI 0.79-0.84) and a kappa coefficient of 0.45 (95% CI 0.31-0.59) (p<0.01) were obtained.Conclusion:
The COPD-PS questionnaire is a tool with high sensitivity and good reproducibility for the screening of COPD, and could suggest the use of a spirometry in subjects not diagnosed with this disease.Palabras clave
