FEV1 감소 중증도가 COPD 악화와 역의 관계가 있을지라도 FEV1 단독으로 각 개인에서 급성악화를 예견하지 못합니다. 이와 같은 이유로 FEV1은 더 이상 ABCD 평가 카테고리에 포함되지 않습니다.

COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; GOLD: Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; mMRC: modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale; CAT: COPD Assessment Test; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC: forced vital capacity.
* mMRC dyspnea scale: Refer to UpToDate graphic.

Δ The GOLD guidelines (www.goldcopd.org) prefer the threshold of <0.7 to the alternative of the fifth percentile lower limit of normal (LLN) for FEV1/FVC.
