Yes to 1-2 = partly controlled, yes to 3-4 = uncontrolled.
COPD group A, B, C and D
A = low risk, few symptoms ( GOLD 1-2, 0 or 1 exac/year and no hospitalization for exacerbation, CAT <10)
B = low risk, more symptoms (GOLD 1-2, 0 or 1 exac/year and no hospitalization for exacerbation, CAT >10)
C = high risk, low symptoms (GOLD 3-4, >2exac/year, >1 admission, CAT <10)
D = High risk, high symptoms (GOLD 3-4, >2exac/year, >1 admission, CAT >10)
Scores used to rule out/in PE
