TT is a 52-year-old white male who presents to his primary care physician with a chief complaint of shortness of breath. He works in construction and finds himself winded more often than not. A smoker since the age of 15, TT now smokes 10 cigarettes per day. The primary care physician sends TT for spirometry testing, which reveals that his FEV/FVC is 50%. Concerned with this result, the physician refers to the guidelines and prescribes therapy. Which standards or guidelines would be most helpful to TT’s care?
