    Measured: Day 1

  3. Total CAT score

    CAT (COPD assessment test) has a broader coverage of the impact of COPD on the patient's daily life and well-being.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Total MMRC score

    MMRC (Modified Medical Research Council Questionnaire for Assessing the Severity of Breathlessness) assesses disability due to breathlessness.

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Patient's perception on COPD and COPD treatments

    • To ask subject, Seek for treatment only when symptoms occur/worsening or regularly visit physician and take medicine(s)
    • To ask subject, Whether Knowing about how and when to use their medications
