摘要
The National Lung Health Education Program recently recommended the widespread use of office spirometry by primary care providers to detect early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients older than 45 years who smoke cigarettes and have a respiratory symptom. Previous reviews and guidelines do not support such a recommendation. Few primary care physicians currently perform spirometry testing, and for those who do the quality of testing is often suboptimal. Smokers with normal spirometry results may feel justified to continue smoking. Is the 100 million dollar cost of testing the 9 million eligible patients in the United States justified?
