symptomatic COPD. The session will include a review of studies evaluating the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of different COPD case
-finding approaches; an overview of the algorithms that have been derived from primary care records and that aim to improve the
efficiency of COPD case-finding; a discussion of the views of GPs, healthcare professionals, and patients on COPD case-finding; and an
overview of the pros and cons of a structured screening programme and the gaps in the evidence.

Symposium: Lung involvement in systemic disorders
an update to this neglected field
Aims : Many systemic disorders have lung involvement that is often neglected. The modern pulmonologist must follow a holistic
approach. Recently, chest physicians have realised that several diseases, including IgG4 disease, transfusion-related acute lung injury
(TRALI), and diabetes, have significant lung involvement. An update in this field is needed.
