Summary

This study aims to validate a computer algorithm that predicts whether a person has COPD, a serious lung disease. Many people with COPD are not diagnosed until the disease is advanced, while others are wrongly told they have it. The researchers will test the tool on 500 adults aged 40 and older who have had a lung function test in the past 5 years. The goal is to see how accurately the algorithm identifies true cases of COPD, which could lead to earlier and more reliable diagnosis.
