The importance of early COPD diagnosis during a smoking cessation program

چکیده
Background Many patients with mild–moderate COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), are asymptomatic. Since expressed symptoms are usually mild and mostly attributed to age, they are often underestimated [1,2]. Thus early COPD patients usually remain undiagnosed [3]. The aim of the study is to evaluate the rates of undiagnosed COPD cases in early stages of the disease (stage I and II according to GOLD classification), [4] in our smoking cessation program and to assess the effectiveness of COPD diagnosis as a motivational tool for quitting smoking.
