      Race-based correction is widely utilized in clinical practice, but may contribute to overestimation of lung function, underdiagnoses in minority groups, and exclusion of minority groups from research trials. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the usage of race-based correction in pulmonary function testing (PFT) within chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) research and its impact on the exclusion of minority groups from research trials.We systematically searched Medline from 2010 to 2022 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine inhaler therapy for COPD. Article screening, critical appraisal, and data extraction were completed in duplicate by independent reviewers. Data regarding study design, inclusion criteria, demographics, and race-based correction were extracted and synthesized narratively.Of the 774 screened articles, we included 21 RCTs in the review, which were multinational trials involving 70696 study participants.
