Abstract Summary
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a very common chronic disease with huge societal and personal impact. This study will provide an integrated approach to create a bank of biomarkers (simple blood tests) so that we can identify those who will most likely suffer from this condition, and also ways to monitor drug therapy.
