November 2, 2021 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force seeks comments on a draft recommendation statement and draft evidence review on screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). People without signs and symptoms of COPD should not be screened because it does not improve overall health. The draft recommendation statement and draft evidence review are available for review and public comment from November 2, 2021 to December 6, 2021 here. Note the public comment period has been expanded from the standard four weeks to five weeks to account for the Thanksgiving holiday.
