COPD is Associated with Higher Prevalence of Back Pain: Results of a Population-Based Case-Control Study, 2017.

Objective: We aimed to assess whether patients suffering from COPD have a higher prevalence of chronic back pain (neck and low back pain) than age-, sex-, and residence-matched non-COPD controls.
