Hidden morbidity: the results of a collaborative community chronic obstructive pulmonary disease screening initiative. Clinical Respiratory Journal, 13(1), 43-49. https://doi.org/10.1111/crj.12978

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often goes unrecognised resulting in people living with the disease without a diagnosis. We investigated the characteristics, symptom burden and flow of participants in a community COPD screening initiativ...
