Despite being the third leading cause of death globally, underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) remains a challenge. The current spirometric
variables used for COPD diagnosis have limitations, and there is a need for better diagnostic tools, particularly in primary care settings. A pesar de ser la tercera causa de muerte a nivel mundial, el subdiagnóstico y el diagnóstico
erróneo de la Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica (EPOC) siguen siendo un desafío. Las
variables espirométricas utilizadas actualmente para el diagnóstico de EPOC tienen limitaciones
y se necesitan mejores herramientas diagnósticas, especialmente para la atención primaria.
