摘要：

This study sought to measure the effect of pulmonary function testing (PFT) data on the decisions made by generalist physicians in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 148 physicians were randomly assigned to two groups, both of which were asked to manage two identical fictitious but representative cases of COPD, which included history, physical, x-ray, and laboratory results. The experimental group received PFT results in addition. No significant difference was noted between the two groups in management based on availability of PFT data. The optimum utility of PFT data in the management of COPD may be exaggerated and has yet to be determined.
