COPD patients with ACO determined by the JRS criteria had a high risk of exacerbations and a rapid decline in respiratory function, indicating that the JRS criteria for ACO are useful for identifying high-risk COPD patients. Testing necessary for ACO diagnosis is insufficiently performed even in real-world clinical practice of COPD specialists.
