COPD Risk Phenotypes in Older Smokers: Evaluation in GLI- and GOLD-Defined Respiratory Impairment
The use of the GOLD threshold in an algorithm resulted in older smokers being classified into more severe COPD risk phenotypes compared to the GLI threshold. This suggests that GOLD may misclassify smokers with less affected phenotypes as having respiratory impairment, potentially leading to unnecessary and harmful treatments.
