The Chinese PUMA questionnaire (C-PUMA) is linguistically and clinically validated.

- •
C-PUMA ≥5 is adequate to detect more COPD patients in high-incidence primary care.
- •
The PUMA-PEFR model is more accurate and cost-effective than the C-PUMA alone.
- •
The best PCOPD cutoff value is ≥0.39 (sensitivity/specificity/NNS=79%/88%/2).
- •
Transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) represents a promising approach for monitoring after lung transplantation.
- •
TBCB has the advantage over transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in obtaining larger tissue samples and reducing tissue artifacts.
- •
TBCB improves the diagnostic yield for acute and chronic rejection following lung transplantation, with safety comparable to TBFB.
