To evaluate the screening efficacy of a self-designed questionnaire for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the potential gender disparity in its efficacy.
A screening questionnaire, the COPD Screening Questionnaire-Minhang (COPD-MH), was designed with reference to the self-scored COPD population screener (COPD-PS) and the COPD screening questionnaire (COPD-SQ), incorporating characteristics of the local population in Shanghai, China. The revised questionnaire included only five questions. Each question scored 0-4, with a highest total score of 20. The COPD-PS and COPD-SQ comprised 5 and 7 questions, respectively. Their scoring criteria were not consecutive integers and, thus, not easily counted. The COPD-MH focused on symptoms, and each item was set the same answers for convenience. Screening for COPD was conducted among residents over 40 years old in a community in Shanghai using the three aforementioned questionnaires. Each participant also received spirometry tests. A receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the validity of each questionnaire.
A total of 1197 community residents in Minhang District completed the screening. A total of 1023 participants were finally included in analysis with a detected prevalence of 12.4% for COPD. The best cut-off values for the COPD-PS, COPD-SQ, and COPD-MH were 4, 16, and 7 points, respectively. The AUCs for these three questionnaires were >0.5, but the sensitivity of the COPD-MH was higher than those of the COPD-PS and COPD-SQ. The sensitivity of COPD-MH was 80.77% for males and 77.5% for females. The COPD-MH had higher diagnostic efficiency and higher sensitivity with gender-specific cut-off values.
The COPD-MH is comparable to and less time-consuming than the existing screening methods for COPD. Gender-related factors affect the optimal cut-off values of the COPD screening questionnaire, and rectifying this can improve the practical screening efficacy.
评估自行设计的慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)问卷的筛查效果及其在疗效上的潜在性别差异。
本研究设计了一种筛查问卷,即 COPD 筛查问卷-闵行(COPD-MH),参考了自评 COPD 人群筛查工具(COPD-PS)和 COPD 筛查问卷(COPD-SQ),并结合了中国上海当地人群的特点。修订后的问卷仅包含 5 个问题。每个问题的得分为 0-4 分,最高总分为 20 分。COPD-PS 和 COPD-SQ 分别包含 5 个和 7 个问题,评分标准不是连续整数,因此不易计数。COPD-MH 主要关注症状,为方便起见,每个项目设置相同的答案。采用上述三种问卷对上海某社区 40 岁以上居民进行 COPD 筛查。每位参与者还接受了肺功能测试。绘制受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线,计算曲线下面积(AUC)评估每个问卷的有效性。
闵行区共有 1197 名社区居民完成了筛查。最终共有 1023 名参与者纳入分析,COPD 检出率为 12.4%。COPD-PS、COPD-SQ 和 COPD-MH 的最佳截断值分别为 4、16 和 7 分。这三个问卷的 AUC 值均>0.5,但 COPD-MH 的灵敏度高于 COPD-PS 和 COPD-SQ。COPD-MH 对男性的灵敏度为 80.77%,对女性的灵敏度为 77.5%。COPD-MH 具有更高的诊断效率和性别特异性截断值下更高的灵敏度。
COPD-MH 与现有的 COPD 筛查方法相当,且耗时更短。性别相关因素影响 COPD 筛查问卷的最佳截断值,纠正这一点可以提高实际筛查效果。
