3 Inclusion criteria yrsold New patients with respiratory symptoms: dyspnea cough sputum but without firm diagnosis Seen by pulmonologist Able to perform pulmonary function tests Written informed consent

4 New outpatients with respiratory symptoms but without diagnosis History Clinical Data Spirometry with flow-volume curve Absolute volumes Resistance Diffusion capacity LOK/GLEM meeting Frequency: 4/year Diagnosis 1 addition of spirometry with flow-volume curve Diagnosis 2 addition of absolute volumes Diagnosis 3 addition of resistance Diagnosis 4 addition of diffusion capacity Pneumologist of the patient Laboratory results and imaging Final diagnosis Gold standard

5 Terminology diagnoses Differential diagnoses Preferential diagnosis after each step Differential diagnoses Preferential diagnosis Side diagnosis after four steps Final diagnosis pulmonologist Final diagnosis corrected by LOK at the end

6 Outcomes Primary outcome 1/ n differential diagnoses (correctie 1/28, 27/28) Secondary outcomes % correct preferential diagnoses (GEE) 1/n differential diagnoses, with correct preferential diagnosis Sensitivity analysis: all analyses, with preferential diagnosis also correct if corresponding to side diagnosis Subgroup analyses: COPD, asthma, ILD, and no respiratory abnormality

7 List of differential diagnosis (checklist) COPD Asthma Upper airway obstruction Other obstructive diseases including Bronchiectasis, Cystic fibrosis and Bronchiolitis. Neuromuscular disease Thoracic deformity Lung function abnormalities due to obesity* Interstitial lung disease Systemic sclerosis and other vasculitis Cardiac failure* Pulmonary vascular disease* No primary pulmonary abnormality Hyperventilation syndrome* Other diagnosis * Only if clinical evidence is present

Each test significantly reduced the number of differential diagnoses. These differenceswereeven more pronounced, ifalsoa correct side diagnosis was taken into account.
