Part Description
LP200173-5 Brinkman index
The Brinkman index (BI) is a measure of cigarette smoke exposure and is used as a predictor of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in smokers. In one study, male patients with a BIs of less than 400, 400-799, and 800+ had COPD incidence rate ratios of 1.2 (0.8-1.9), 2.7 (1.9-3.8), and 4.6 (3.3-6.5), respectively. These results support a strong dose-relationship between cigarette smoking and developing COPD. PMID: 17420613
