First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a French version of the CAPTURE tool, which uses a short questionnaire and a peak flow breath test, to find people with undiagnosed obstructive lung disease (like COPD). Over 1,000 adults aged 40 and older who had not been diagnosed with asthma or COPD took part. The goal was to see how well the tool could identify those who actually had lung problems when checked with a portable spirometer.
