Highlights

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

  • The best C-PUMA cutoff score is ≥6 (sensitivity/specificity/NNS=77%/64%/3).

  • 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).
