ACOQ (Asthma-COPD Overlap Questionnaire)

The Asthma-COPD Overlap Questionnaire (ACOQ) is a tool used to help diagnose and assess individuals who may have both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both conditions affect breathing but have different causes and treatments. The ACOQ consists of a series of questions that evaluate symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. By analyzing the responses, healthcare providers can determine the likelihood of overlap between asthma and COPD, enabling better management and treatment plans tailored to the patient’s specific respiratory issues.
