ABS88: Diagnosis of COPD combined with brief smoking cessation advice increases smoking cessation rate in comparison with those with normal lung function

摘要

Background:Smoking cessation is the most important therapeutic intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and the health benefits are immediate and substantial. Major efforts have been done to develop methods with high smoking cessation rates. Objectives: To study if a combination of spirometry and brief smoking cessation advice to smokers with COPD, annually during 3 years, increased their smoking cessation rate in comparison with groups of smokers with normal lung function.
