Highlights
- •
The Chinese PUMA questionnaire (C-PUMA) is linguistically and clinically validated.
- •
The best C-PUMA cutoff score is ≥ 6 (sensitivity/specificity/NNS=77%/64%/3).
- •
C-PUMA ≥ 5 is adequate to detect more COPD patients in high-incidence primary care.
- •
The PUMA-PEFR model is more accurate and cost-effective than the C-PUMA alone.
- •
The best PCOPD cutoff value is ≥ 0.39 (sensitivity/specificity/NNS=79%/88%/2).
