Abstract The PUMA scale has shown good discrimination in identifying people with COPD in primary care. We evaluated the predictive performance of PUMA for opportunistic case-finding and assessed the prevalence of COPD in at-risk primary care patients in Singapore. This is a multicentre cross-sectional study of participants aged ≥40 years and current/former smokers. Participants completed the PUMA scale and spirometry.
