The most appropriate risk cut-off was determined to be 6% for either disease.

Prospective validation using an independent sample (n=471) showed sensitivities of 93% and 92% for asthma and COPD, respectively; specificity of 19%; with AUCs of 0.70 (95% CI 0.62\u20130.79) for asthma and 0.81 (95% CI 0.74\u20130.87) for COPD.
