Asthma-COPD Overlap Questionnaire (ACOQ)

The Asthma-COPD Overlap Questionnaire (ACOQ) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to help identify individuals who may have features of both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It consists of a series of questions about symptoms, lung function, and medical history. By answering these questions, patients can provide important information that aids doctors in making an accurate diagnosis. Recognizing this overlap is crucial because it can influence treatment and management strategies, ultimately improving the patient's quality of life and health outcomes.
