Self-report underestimates the frequency of the acute respiratory exacerbations of COPD but is associated with BAL neutrophilia and lymphocytosis: an observational study
While there is modest agreement between self-reported and EHR-identified m/s-AECOPD, events are missed by relying on either method alone. However, m/s-AECOPD quantified by self-report or health records is associated with BAL neutrophilia and lymphocytosis.
