Patients with COPD face a significantly elevated LC risk, up to six times greater than those with normal lung function. We aimed to investigate LC prevalence and stage distribution among COPD outpatients. Furthermore, we aimed to outline the COPD-related variables associated with referral for LC examination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a retrospective analysis encompassing the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2018 on all outpatients with COPD and LC and individuals referred for LC examinations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among all COPD outpatients, 2231 patients (18%) were referred for LC examinations and 565 (4.6%) were diagnosed with LC. LC patients with COPD were more likely to be stage I\u2013II, in contrast to the non-COPD LC population (46%<jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>26%, p&lt;0.001 for all). Patients referred for LC examinations exhibited higher use of COPD-related medications, reported more severe dyspnoea (69%<jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>66% with Medical Research Council dyspnoea score &gt;2) and experienced a greater frequency of exacerbations (30%<jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>24% with two or more exacerbations).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study revealed a notably high LC incidence among COPD outpatients. LC patients with COPD were diagnosed at earlier stages, and outpatients with more pronounced COPD symptoms were more inclined to undergo LC diagnostics.
