- aggregation abstract "Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health problem, causing substantial mortality and morbidity. The burden of COPD has vastly increased in the last decade. COPD cannot be cured, but a correct treatment substantially reduces symptoms and increases quality of life. COPD remains often undiagnosed and untreated. To diagnose COPD and treat it according to evidence-based guidelines, spirometry is required. Spirometry in general practice provides a unique opportunity to diagnose COPD in primary care. Office spirometers should comply with the ATS/ERS criteria in terms of performance and provide tools to check the quality of the manoeuvre. General practitioners (GPs) can only perform spirometry after an intensive course on all aspects of spirometry, including how to obtain good manoeuvres and interpret spirograms. It remains less clear whether refresher courses or the performance of a critical number of spirometries are required to maintain highstandard spirometry. Whether spirometry should also be used to screen for COPD in both asymptomatic and symptomatic smokers or to manage non-smokers with respiratory symptoms is less clear. The interpretation of spirometry in patients with typical features of COPD is rather straightforward. GPs should, however, realise that normal spirometry does not exclude the presence of respiratory pathology.".
