COPDGene® 2019: Redefining the Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

摘要

The authors wish to thank the thousands of patients who participated in the COPDGene study over the last 10 years, including the “impatient patient,” the late John W. Walsh, who helped conceive the original COPDGene study concept. John’s support, fueled by his own tireless passion and enthusiasm to one day “find a cure for COPD,” was invaluable to the COPDGene study’s early success.
