This study aimed to validate the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Population Screener (COPD-PS) questionnaire as a screening tool in a cohort of Chinese subjects who underwent a health examination, and to summarise its overall performance through a meta-analysis. We enrolled 997 subjects aged ≥40 years who underwent a health examination, both lung function and COPD-PS data were collected. The screening performance of COPD-PS was evaluated with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, using the area under the curve (AUC) to assess the screening accuracy. A standard diagnostic meta-analysis was used to summarise the screening performance of COPD-PS for COPD. Of the 997 subjects, 157 were identified as having COPD. The COPD-PS score was significantly higher in COPD patients than controls (5.03 ± 5.11 vs. 2.72 ± 1.80, < .001). At a cut-off of 4, the sensitivity and specificity of COPD-PS for identifying COPD were 74.52 and 70.24%, respectively, with an AUC of 0.79. Eight studies (including this study) were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled estimates for COPD-PS were as follows: sensitivity of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.47-0.63), specificity of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.84-0.89), positive likelihood ratio of 3.00 (95% CI: 1.65-5.47), negative likelihood ratio of 0.43 (95% CI: 0.35-0.52) and diagnostic odds ratio of 7.24 (95% CI: 3.91-13.40). The AUC of the summary ROC curve was 0.78. COPD-PS appears to be a useful tool for screening individuals with a high risk of COPD and guiding the selection of individuals for subsequent spirometry examination.KEY MESSAGESCOPD-PS is a simple and useful method to screen COPD.The combination of COPD-PS with other tools may improve the screen performance.
这项研究旨在验证慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)人群筛查问卷(COPD-PS)作为一种筛查工具,用于接受健康检查的中国人群,并通过荟萃分析总结其整体性能。我们招募了 997 名年龄≥40 岁的受试者,这些受试者接受了健康检查,同时收集了肺功能和 COPD-PS 数据。使用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析评估 COPD-PS 的筛查性能,使用曲线下面积(AUC)评估筛查准确性。使用标准诊断荟萃分析总结 COPD-PS 对 COPD 的筛查性能。在 997 名受试者中,有 157 名被诊断为 COPD。COPD 患者的 COPD-PS 评分明显高于对照组(5.03±5.11 与 2.72±1.80,<0.001)。在截值为 4 时,COPD-PS 识别 COPD 的灵敏度和特异性分别为 74.52%和 70.24%,AUC 为 0.79。这项研究共纳入了 8 项研究。这项荟萃分析的汇总估计值如下:COPD-PS 的灵敏度为 0.66(95%CI:0.47-0.63),特异性为 0.86(95%CI:0.84-0.89),阳性似然比为 3.00(95%CI:1.65-5.47),阴性似然比为 0.43(95%CI:0.35-0.52),诊断比值比为 7.24(95%CI:3.91-13.40)。汇总 ROC 曲线的 AUC 为 0.78。COPD-PS 似乎是一种有用的工具,可以筛查 COPD 高危人群,并指导选择后续进行肺功能检查的人群。关键信息COPD-PS 是一种简单且有用的 COPD 筛查方法。COPD-PS 与其他工具结合使用可能会提高筛查性能。
