A pilot study of inspiratory capacity and resting dyspnea correlations in exacerbations of COPD and asthma.

abstract：Purpose:Primary care COPD guidelines indicate that COPD patients with asthma characteristics should be treated as having asthma. This study aims to describe the prevalence of asthma characteristics in patients with a pulmonologist-confirmed working diagnosis of COPD or ACO. Patients and Methods:This retrospective cros...
