Overview
Screening does not apply to chronic bronchitis.
Screening
There is no recommendation for routine screening for adults who do not present with any chronic bronchitis features such as, cough, dyspnea or chest pain, because an asymptomatic decrease in lung capacity does not require treatment.[1]
