- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Yield of preneoplastic lesions in the upper airway and bronchus as detected by white light bronchoscopy and NBI bronchoscopy. The outcome is measured by HISTOLOGY YIELD BY WHITE LIGHT VERSUS NBI- The important pathology is moderate dysplasia or worse up to carcinoma in situ.<br><br>[At bronchoscopy/upper airway inspection];Yield of malignant lesions by CT chest[At time of bronchoscopy]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Correlation between yield of abnormal lesions using NBI and COPD severity. COPD assessed using the GOLD classification of lung function severity.<br>Yield of lesions of moderate dysplasia or worse will be expressed comparing Gold class 0-2 with Gold Class 3-4.[At time of bronchoscopy]
