Spirometry in Greenland: a cross-sectional study on patients treated with medication targeting obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract

The use of medication targeting obstructive pulmonary disease among patients over 50 years old is common in Greenland. About one third of the patients had a spirometry performed within 2 years. To further increase spirometry performance, it is recommended to explore possible barriers in health care professionals' usage of spirometry in different health care settings in Greenland.
