Case-finding for COPD clinic acceptability to patients in GPs across Hampshire: a qualitative study
Abstract Despite high mortality and morbidity, COPD remains under-diagnosed. Case-finding strategies are possible, but patients’ perspectives are unexplored. Using qualitative methods, we explored the patient perspective of a case-finding intervention among at-risk patients in primary care. Semi-str...
