摘要

Tobacco smoking is the primary cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) globally. Capnography data was collected twice daily for up to 6 months from 147 COPD participants across multiple studies using TidalSense’s N-Tidal device. Waveform features from the alpha angle region of the capnogram showed strong association with pack year history, indicating that capnography can quantify a dose-response relationship between smoking exposure and airway remodelling. This non-linear association reached an inflection around 25 pack years, potentially indicating a ‘tipping point’ beyond which the likelihood of retaining normal lung function significantly diminishes. This provides valuable mechanistic insights and could help estimate disease risk and support early preventative interventions.
