“…Since then, the enthusiasm for having new guidelines has led the scientific community to overlook the possible consequences of such a definition, even if it was already clear that it may be a source of falsely positive cases in the general population [6]. This was confirmed in a study in the USA [7] evaluating the impact of different definitions of airflow obstruction on the epidemiology of COPD.…”

“…Secondly, the fact that risks of death and COPD-related hospitalisation [10] are predicted by FEV1/FVC ,0.70 indicates that such an index may identify a proportion of individuals at risk [6], which has nothing to do with defining the diagnosis of the disease. Furthermore, it is an index which per se cannot reflect the severity of disease [8].…”

“…Although the GOLD diagnostic criterion of COPD is a recognized standard, it is not perfect. It might be important for diagnosing COPD to examine measures other than FEV1/FVC such as some definitions for airway obstruction 20 and symptoms or histories related to COPD. 15 Because those with diseases such as asthma and tuberculosis would not be suitable subjects for the criteria due to the difficulty in accurately measuring FVC and FEV1 by spirometry, then were excluded from our analysis.…”

“…Während die spirometrischen Parameter von den verschiedenen Expertengremien in gleicher Weise eingesetzt werden, unterscheiden sich die quantitativen Angaben, die zur Abschätzung der Schweregrade führen. Dieser Umstand erschwert unter anderem den Vergleich epidemiologischer Erhebungen zur Häufigkeit und Schwere der COPD in verschiedenen Ländern [4,5].…”
