What this trial studies

This observational cohort focuses on individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to improve management and treatment strategies. It aims to systematically diagnose and stratify patients to enhance early detection and prevent disease progression. The study will involve participants who meet specific criteria related to lung function and smoking history, allowing for a better understanding of COPD management in Switzerland.
