Detailed explanation-1: -An important revision concerns the “ABCD” classification for the management of patients with COPD, which classifies patients into groups A (low risk, fewer symptoms), B (low risk, more symptoms), C (high risk, fewer symptoms), and D (high risk, more symptoms) (10).

Detailed explanation-3: -COPD should be considered in any patient with dyspnea, chronic cough or sputum production, and/or a history of exposure to risk factors. Spirometry is required to make the diagnosis; a postbronchodilator FEV 1/FVC ratio of less than 0.70 confirms the presence of persistent airflow limitation. More items •03-Jun-2022
