Current guideline-based criteria defining COPD do not meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. Hyperinflation and affection of the small airways are two components that are not represented in current diagnostic concepts and may relate to early stages of the disease. Moreover, optimal therapeutic interventions in patients with these distinct features remain unclear. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and initiating therapeutic strategies in early stage COPD within the GOLD recommendations.
