About this study

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 100 million people in China have COPD, yet the early diagnosis rate remains below 13%. This multicenter retrospective study will collect previously acquired dynamic chest radiography (DCR) images, pulmonary function test results, chest computed tomography images, symptom scores, clinical data, and follow-up outcomes from participating centers. A standardized multicenter retrospective DCR-COPD database will be established to systematically evaluate the utility of DCR-derived parameters for characterizing dynamic functional imaging phenotypes, assessing disease severity, and predicting the risk of COPD progression. The study will also provide a foundation for model development and subsequent prospective multicenter validation.
