GARCÍA-ORTIZ, José David; CARDONA-JIMENEZ, Jairo León e QUIJANO-ALMEIDA, Yudy Marcela. Evaluation with COPD-PS questionnaire and Vitalograph COPD-6 portable device as a strategy for early diagnosis of COPD in primary care. Iatreia [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.3, pp.229-238. ISSN 0121-0793. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.44.
Objective:
To evaluate the use of the COPD-PS questionnaire and the Vitalograph COPD-6 portable device, as a strategy for the early diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in two primary care units of the state social enterprise (ESE): Metrosalud, Medellin-Colombia in 2017.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study to early detection of COPD, in people older than 35 years without previous diagnosis of the disease or other underlying respiratory diseases. The “COPD-PS” case detection-screening test was applied for identify respiratory risk fac-tors and then the forced expiratory volume test (VEF1/VEF6) with the portable device Vitalograph-COPD-6.
Results:
Of 1485 COPD-PS screening tests, 198 had a score equal to or greater than four, so they were tested with the Vitalograph device, of which 147 (74.2%) were positive.
Discussion:
The underreporting of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is currently described as a serious problem worldwide. The use of the COPD-PS questionnaire for the identification of patients with risk factors and the Vitalograph COPD-6 as a lung function test, can be useful tools to implement an effective strategy to reduce COPD underreporting.
