Crackles are also described as ‘fine’ or ‘coarse’. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of crackle characteristics in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods In a population-based study, lung sounds were recorded at six auscultation sites and classified in participants aged 40 years or older. Inspiratory crackles were classified as ‘early’ or ‘late and into the types’ ‘coarse’ and ‘fine’ by two observers. A diagnosis of COPD was based on respiratory symptoms and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced inspiratory vital capacity below lower limit of normal, based on Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 reference. Associations between crackle characteristics and COPD were analysed by logistic regression. Kappa statistics was applied for evaluating interobserver agreement.Results Of 3684 subjects included in the analysis, 52.9% were female, 50.1% were ≥65 years and 204 (5.5%) had COPD. Basal inspiratory crackles were heard in 306 participants by observer 1 and in 323 by observer 2. When heard bilaterally COPD could be predicted with ORs of 2.59 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.91) and 3.20 (95% CI 1.71 to 5.98), annotated by observer 1 and 2, respectively, adjusted for sex and age. If bilateral crackles were coarse the corresponding ORs were 2.65 (95% CI 1.28 to 5.49) and 3.67 (95% CI 1.58 to 8.52) and when heard early during inspiration the ORs were 6.88 (95% CI 2.59 to 18.29) and 7.63 (95%CI 3.73 to 15.62). The positive predictive value for COPD was 23% when early crackles were heard over one or both lungs. We observed higher kappa values when classifying timing than type.Conclusions ‘Early’ inspiratory crackles predicted COPD more strongly than ‘coarse’ inspiratory crackles.

Nath and Capel in 1974, with early crackles associated with bronchial obstruction and late crackles with restrictive defects. Crackles are also described as ‘fine’ or ‘coarse’. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of crackle characteristics in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).</p></div><div id="sec-2" class="subsection"><p id="p-3"><strong>Methods</strong> In a population-based study, lung sounds were recorded at six auscultation sites and classified in participants aged 40 years or older. Inspiratory crackles were classified as ‘early’ or ‘late and into the types’ ‘coarse’ and ‘fine’ by two observers. A diagnosis of COPD was based on respiratory symptoms and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced inspiratory vital capacity below lower limit of normal, based on Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 reference. Associations between crackle characteristics and COPD were analysed by logistic regression. Kappa statistics was applied for evaluating interobserver agreement.</p></div><div id="sec-3" class="subsection"><p id="p-4"><strong>Results</strong> Of 3684 subjects included in the analysis, 52.9% were female, 50.1% were ≥65 years and 204 (5.5%) had COPD. Basal inspiratory crackles were heard in 306 participants by observer 1 and in 323 by observer 2. When heard bilaterally COPD could be predicted with ORs of 2.59 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.91) and 3.20 (95% CI 1.71 to 5.98), annotated by observer 1 and 2, respectively, adjusted for sex and age. If bilateral crackles were coarse the corresponding ORs were 2.65 (95% CI 1.28 to 5.49) and 3.67 (95% CI 1.58 to 8.52) and when heard early during inspiration the ORs were 6.88 (95% CI 2.59 to 18.29) and 7.63 (95%CI 3.73 to 15.62). The positive predictive value for COPD was 23% when early crackles were heard over one or both lungs. We observed higher kappa values when classifying timing than type.</p></div><div id="sec-4" class="subsection"><p id="p-5"><strong>Conclusions</strong> ‘Early’ inspiratory crackles predicted COPD more strongly than ‘coarse’ inspiratory crackles. Identification of early crackles at the lung bases should imply a strong attention to the possibility of COPD.</p></div><button data-testid="back-to-top-button" class="visible-link text-bmj-blue-600 hover:text-bmj-blue-700 focus-visible:border-bmj-silver-500 mt-[16px] rounded-md focus-visible:border-[1px] focus-visible:outline-none">Back to top</button></div><div class="section notes text-bmj-silver-800 border-bmj-silver-100 [&_h3]:text-bmj-silver-800 mb-[40px] border-[1px] px-[24px] pt-[8px] pb-[16px] [&_p]:my-[8px] [&_ul]:m-0 [&_ul]:list-none [&_ul]:p-0 [&_li]:m-0 [&_li]:p-0 [&_h3]:mb-0 [&_h3]:mt-[16px] [&_h3]:text-[1.25rem] [&_h3]:font-normal"><div data-testid="article-notes-content" class="article-notes-content"><div class="" id="boxed-text-1"><h3 data-testid="article-notes-subheader">Key messages</h3><div id="sec-5" class="subsection"><h3>What is the key question?</h3><ul class="list-unord " id="list-1"><li id="list-item-1"><p id="p-6">In the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is it more useful to focus on the timing of crackles than on the crackle type?</p></li></ul></div><div id="sec-6" class="subsection"><h3>What is the bottom line?</h3><ul class="list-unord " id="list-2"><li id="list-item-2"><p id="p-7">Pulmonary crackles are divided into two types, ‘fine’ and ‘coarse’ and coarse inspiratory crackles are regarded to be typical of COPD.

Few years after Forgacs published his findings, Nath and Capel observed clear differences in the timing of crackles between patients with bronchial obstruction, in whom early crackles usually were heard, and patients with restrictive lung defects, who had late crackles.<a id="xref-ref-4-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a> This difference could be explained by the site of airway closure, that is, central airways in obstructive and peripheral airways in restrictive defects.</p><p id="p-10">Although Nath and Capel proposed that the timing of crackles could be clinically helpful, which was also supported by Piirilä <em>et al</em>,<a id="xref-ref-1-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1</a> recent guidelines for diagnosing COPD<a id="xref-ref-5-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-5">5</a> and heart failure<a id="xref-ref-6-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-6">6</a> do not mention the distinction between early and late crackles. Instead, another subdivision based on crackle characteristics is frequently referred to, namely ‘coarse’ versus ‘fine’. These crackle types are defined by the duration of each single crackle.<a id="xref-ref-1-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1</a> Coarse crackles may be caused by sudden opening of obstructed central bronchii, while fine crackles are related to opening of distal airways.<a id="xref-ref-1-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1 7–9</a> Coarse and early crackles are related to each other, since coarse crackles tend to appear early during inspiration<a id="xref-ref-9-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a> and both coarse and early crackles are commonly heard in obstructive lung diseases.<a id="xref-ref-1-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1 7</a> The clinical usefulness of differentiating coarse from fine crackles has however been questioned due to low agreement between clinicians in identifying these crackle characteristics.<a id="xref-ref-10-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-10">10</a> Yet these conclusions have been mainly based on small datasets, and we hypothesise that the distinction between ‘early’ and ‘late’ will generate higher agreement and possibly also be more useful in clinical practice.</p><p id="p-11">In the seventh Tromsø study (2015–2016), lung sound recordings from six chest locations were classified in more than 4000 participants,<a id="xref-ref-11-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-11">11</a> and the presence of COPD could be evaluated in most of these.

A random sample was selected for a second visit including 20% of those aged 40–59 years and 60% of those aged 60–84 years, and those who attended the first visit were invited. Thus, in this cross-sectional study, our sample consists of randomly selected participants attending the second visit of the seventh survey of the Tromsø study (Tromsø 7).</p></div><div id="sec-11" class="subsection"><h3>Patient and public involvement</h3><p id="p-14">The Tromsø Study has been strongly supported by the Tromsø municipality and the inhabitants of Tromsø, and the response rate has never been lower than 65%. Based on pathological test results, participants have been invited for further examinations or been advised to visit their general practitioner (GP). In terms of spirometry in the seventh survey, a GP visit was recommended to Tromsø 7 participants with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) <70% predicted and not followed by a doctor due to a lung disease. A GP visit was also recommended if lung consolidation was suspected by the examining physician during lung sound recording. The Tromsø Study share results with the municipality of Tromsø for health surveillance.</p></div><div id="sec-12" class="subsection"><h3>Data collection</h3><p id="p-15">Information on participants’ diseases and smoking habits was retrieved from self-administered questionnaires, and daily smoking was categorised as never, former or current.

In the second round the crackles were categorised as ‘certain’, ‘uncertain’ and ‘not present’. The certain crackles were subclassified as ‘coarse’ or ‘fine’ and as ‘early’, ‘late’ or ‘both early and late’. In order to evaluate the importance of all early crackles, those classified as ‘both early and late’ were grouped together with ‘early’ crackles. The category ‘crackles elsewhere’ include inspiratory crackles heard at other locations and also expiratory crackles.

Positive predictive values of the strongest COPD predictors were calculated, also in a subgroup of former or current smokers, statistical significance was analysed with χ<sup>2</sup> test. The presence of crackle characteristics among the participants with COPD was analysed by severity groups, using χ<sup>2</sup> test for trend. To study to which degree participants were classified with both early and coarse crackles and both late and fine crackles, such concordance in identification was evaluated by kappa statistics.

However, this applied only to early inspiratory and coarse crackles. We found no such association for other types of crackles. The positive predictive value for COPD reached 50% when both observers heard basal inspiratory crackles over both lungs, which were both early and coarse. The prevalence of early and coarse crackles increased with increasing severity of COPD, while the prevalence of late and fine crackles remained unchanged across the different stages of COPD, suggesting another origin than bronchial obstruction. We found early crackles during inspiration to be more strongly associated with COPD than the acoustic perception of a coarse character. The interobserver agreement on timing was also superior to the agreement on type, as we were expecting.</p></div><div id="sec-18" class="subsection"><h3>Strengths and limitations</h3><p id="p-44">Among the strengths of this study are the large sample of participants and the rigorous process to classify lung sounds. We examined a sample of the general population who were mainly in a stable clinical state, and only a few of those with COPD were examined during an exacerbation. In patients with COPD, the prevalence of crackles tend to increase during exacerbations,<a id="xref-ref-17-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-17">17</a> and a stronger association between crackles and COPD would probably be found if patients with COPD with exacerbations had been a particular focus of this study. Visualising spectrograms during the classification might have been of additional help in assessing the timing and type of crackles.<a id="xref-ref-16-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a></p><p id="p-45">The diagnosis of COPD was based on spirometry and on symptoms. Postbronchodilator spirometry was not obtained, and some participants might therefore have been overdiagnosed.<a id="xref-ref-18-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-18">18</a> However, it was an advantage to have lung function measurements from the same day as the lung sounds were recorded.</p><p id="p-46">The subclassification of crackles was done by only two observers, and their capabilities in classifying lung sounds are probably not representative of the average physician, Even these two observers differed considerably in their classification, for example, with observer 2 annotating fine crackles more than twice as frequently and also finding the characteristics ‘coarse’ and ‘early’ more strongly related to each other. However, this did not result in significant differences in the ability of such crackles to predict COPD.</p><p id="p-47">The tedious classification process might have made the result less generalisable, since it is probably easier to make judgements on timing and quality of crackles when watching a recording of 15 s than during conventional chest auscultation in real-world clinical practice. The diagnostic values might have been overestimated. In cardiac auscultation, the description of acoustic events such as murmurs is well established and relatively easy in comparison to pulmonary auscultation, given the frequency of the cardiac cycle. We are not aware of data regarding the average number of respiratory cycles that are typically auscultated in routine clinical examination. In fact, some recommendations are focused more clearly on the number of auscultation sites to be assessed and would accept as little as one complete breath per location.<a id="xref-ref-19-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-19">19</a> The recordings in our study captured usually three or more respiratory cycles per site. Both observers had the advantage to listen repeatedly, but even in clinical practice three breaths or more should be sufficient to decide on the type and timing of crackles during the inspiratory phase.</p><p id="p-48">The recordings in the present study were obtained while subjects were taking slightly deeper breaths than at rest and airflow was not captured. Auscultatory detection of crackles, particularly of those with coarse sound characteristics, becomes more difficult with increasing lung sound intensity, that is, at higher airflows.<a id="xref-ref-20-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-20">20</a> Other factors that could explain the lower predictive value of crackle type compared with their timing include effects of their amplitudes,<a id="xref-ref-1-6" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1</a> their frequency content,<a id="xref-ref-21-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a> and related transmission through stethoscopes, as well as the auditory performance of listeners.</p><p id="p-49">It is a limitation that we did not use a commercially available stethoscope. However, the stethoscope is described in detail,<a id="xref-ref-11-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-11">11</a> and it has also been successfully used by the ERS’s Task Force for Lung Sounds<a id="xref-ref-22-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a></p></div><div id="sec-19" class="subsection"><h3>Implications for clinical practice and the future of the stethoscope</h3><p id="p-50">In terms of screening a general adult population for COPD, basal inspiratory crackles can only indicate that a patient might have this disease. However, when they occur early during inspiration, the clinician has reason to suspect COPD, and even more so when heard bilaterally, although such crackles may also indicate bronchiectasis<a id="xref-ref-23-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-23">23</a> and asthma.<a id="xref-ref-17-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-17">17</a> The PPVs found in our study are similar to those found for high COPD questionnaire scores<a id="xref-ref-24-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24 25</a> But, identification of crackles cannot match the questionnaires in terms of sensitivity.</p><p id="p-51">The limited sensitivity we observed, particularly in mild to moderate COPD, reminds us that in most patients with COPD no crackles are heard. However, when listening to the chest wheezes or diminished breath sounds are also useful signs for identifying COPD.<a id="xref-ref-26-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-26">26 27</a> The sensitivity of chest auscultation for COPD is, accordingly, considerably higher than for early inspiratory crackles alone. Anyway, a suspicion of COPD will in most cases rely on smoking history and symptoms.<a id="xref-ref-27-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-27">27</a></p><p id="p-52">When basal inspiratory crackles are identified in a patient with dyspnoea, the clinicians has to consider heart failure<a id="xref-ref-28-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-28">28</a> and other restrictive conditions<a id="xref-ref-1-7" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1</a> in addition to the obstructive diseases. In a recent study from Japan, early and fine inspiratory crackles were found in severe interstitial lung disease.<a id="xref-ref-29-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-29">29</a> When the inspiratory crackles are both early and coarse, a strong attention to the possibility of COPD is timely. In the near future, electronic stethoscopes with automatic machine learning based classification and interpretation of lung sounds might be helpful in this respect.<a id="xref-ref-30-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-30">30</a> Differentiation between coarse and fine and between early and late crackles can probably be taken into account in future devices and mHealth solutions, being thus more easily integrated in routine clinical practice.</p></div></section><button data-testid="back-to-top-button" class="visible-link text-bmj-blue-600 hover:text-bmj-blue-700 focus-visible:border-bmj-silver-500 mt-[16px] rounded-md focus-visible:border-[1px] focus-visible:outline-none">Back to top</button></div><div class="article-body-sections wrap-urls md:[&_h2]:text-[2.125rem]" data-testid="article-body-section"><section id="sec-20"><h2 class="">Conclusion</h2><p id="p-53">Early inspiratory crackles at the lung bases predicted COPD more strongly than did coarse inspiratory crackles.

Crackles are also described as ‘fine’ or ‘coarse’. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of crackle characteristics in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods In a population-based study, lung sounds were recorded at six auscultation sites and classified in participants aged 40 years or older. Inspiratory crackles were classified as ‘early’ or ‘late and into the types’ ‘coarse’ and ‘fine’ by two observers. A diagnosis of COPD was based on respiratory symptoms and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced inspiratory vital capacity below lower limit of normal, based on Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 reference. Associations between crackle characteristics and COPD were analysed by logistic regression. Kappa statistics was applied for evaluating interobserver agreement.Results Of 3684 subjects included in the analysis, 52.9% were female, 50.1% were ≥65 years and 204 (5.5%) had COPD. Basal inspiratory crackles were heard in 306 participants by observer 1 and in 323 by observer 2. When heard bilaterally COPD could be predicted with ORs of 2.59 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.91) and 3.20 (95% CI 1.71 to 5.98), annotated by observer 1 and 2, respectively, adjusted for sex and age. If bilateral crackles were coarse the corresponding ORs were 2.65 (95% CI 1.28 to 5.49) and 3.67 (95% CI 1.58 to 8.52) and when heard early during inspiration the ORs were 6.88 (95% CI 2.59 to 18.29) and 7.63 (95%CI 3.73 to 15.62). The positive predictive value for COPD was 23% when early crackles were heard over one or both lungs.

Basal inspiratory crackles were heard in 306 participants by observer 1 and in 323 by observer 2. When heard bilaterally COPD could be predicted with ORs of 2.59 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.91) and 3.20 (95% CI 1.71 to 5.98), annotated by observer 1 and 2, respectively, adjusted for sex and age. If bilateral crackles were coarse the corresponding ORs were 2.65 (95% CI 1.28 to 5.49) and 3.67 (95% CI 1.58 to 8.52) and when heard early during inspiration the ORs were 6.88 (95% CI 2.59 to 18.29) and 7.63 (95%CI 3.73 to 15.62). The positive predictive value for COPD was 23% when early crackles were heard over one or both lungs.
