Brief summary
The study does not involve testing of a drug (no treatment intervention). The study will will use spirometry (breathing tests) in subjects of 40 years of age and older with a history of cigarette smoking with chronic bronchitis to check their disease status and whether or not they have COPD. Also, study subjects will be asked to complete a questionnaire (to answer a list of questions on paper).
Interventions
This is a non-interventional (no drug treatment administered), prevalence (observational) study.

This differentiates COPD from other diseases. |

The MRC scale is a 6-point scale (scores from 0 to 5; encompassing degrees of dyspnea of none, slight, moderate, moderately severe, severe, and very severe) used to assess (via a participant-completed questionnaire) the amount of routine daily physical activity that precipitates dyspnea. The levels of physical activity range from strenuous exercise, to walking (including up a slight hill, on level ground, and to 100 yards), and to dressing and undressing.

Post-bronchodilator Reversibility Measures
To assess the reversibility in COPD, a bronchodilator was administered before performing another round of tests for comparison. This is commonly referred to as a reversibility test for the likelihood for a participant to revert to their baseline spirometric values or a post-bronchodilator test (Post BD) and is an important part in diagnosing asthma versus COPD, particularly since reversibility is not observed in the latter case. This differentiates COPD from other diseases.
