      There is considerable variation in the reported prevalence of COPD internationally. One reason for this is the differing definitions in use. The BTS criteria[18] are based on the post bronchodilator values of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and the forced vital capacity (FVC) i.e. FEV1/ FVC < 0.70 and FEV1
