The hidden and unchecked judgement calls when using exacerbation history for managing COPD

AUTHORS:

Contemporary COPD management guidelines focus on exacerbation history to risk stratify patients for future exacerbation risk. In his work we argue that this approach hides the strong assumptions that categorization of risk based on exacerbation history entails. We provide several suggestions for moving the field forward on embracing the true power of precision medicine.
