We aimed to determine prevalence of PRISm in US primary care patients diagnosed with COPD, describe their demographic, clinical, and CT scan characteristics.Methods: An observational registry study utilizing the US APEX COPD registry, composed of patients diagnosed with COPD aged 35+ years. Demographic and clinical data were collected from EHRs and complemented by questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess whether PRISm predicts lung function decline.Results: Prevalence of PRISm within a primary care population clinically diagnosed with COPD was 23.6% (678/2866, 95% CI 22.0– 25.1). Those with PRISm were more likely female (55.9% vs 46.9%), younger (66.3± 11.1 vs 69.2± 10.3 years), with a greater mean BMI (33.5± 9.2 vs 27.8± 7.2 kg/m2), more often African American or Hispanic (37.2% vs 26.3%), and with fewer current smokers (33.1% vs 36.8%) when compared to those meeting COPD spirometry criteria (all p< 0.05). Compared to COPD GOLD 0 patients, individuals with PRISm had greater BMI (33.5± 9.2 vs 30.6± 7.8), and were more likely current smokers (33.1% vs 23.4%), both p< 0.05. Patients with PRISm had similar respiratory symptoms (chronic bronchitis, CAT, and mMRC) to overall COPD patients, but more frequently than GOLD 0 COPD patients (p< 0.01). Emphysema was more commonly reported in CT scans from patients with PRISm 70.3% (260/369, 95% CI 65.8– 75.3) than those with GOLD 0 COPD 64.1% (218/340, 95% CI 58.8– 69.2) (p< 0.05). PRISm status was not predictive of lung function decline.Interpretation: One in four primary care patients with clinically diagnosed COPD in a large US registry fulfil the spirometric definition of PRISm rather than COPD, but suffers from emphysema in CT and significant respiratory symptoms.Keywords: APEX, COPD, PRISm, US primary care, COPD exacerbations, electronic health records, patient reported outcomes
