Proportion of CAPTURE+ Participants Who Meet a Composite Endpoint for Diagnosis and Management of COPDPrimary· Baseline to 12 months
Proportion of CAPTURE+ participants who meet one of the following (composite endpoint): 1) referral for clinical spirometry testing, 2) new diagnosis of COPD, 3) newly prescribed respiratory medication (long acting bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory for respiratory condition), 4) referral to a specialist for respiratory evaluation/treatment, or 5) referral for or completion of pulmonary rehabilitation.
CAPTURE+ is defined as Participants with: CAPTURE score ≥ 5, or CAPTURE score of 2, 3, or 4 with a low PEF, defined as \<350 L/min for males and \<250 L/min for females.
