The impact of seat height on 1-min sit-to-stand test performance in COPD: a randomised crossover trial
Performing the 1MSTS test on an individually adjusted chair versus a standard chair results in fewer repetitions (mean difference −0.78, 95% CI −1.47 to −0.11). However, the difference in repetitions is clinically negligible.
SABA use as an indicator for asthma exacerbation risk: an observational cohort study (SABINA Canada)
This longitudinal study supports the recent updates to the CTS and GINA guidelines for asthma care. SABA utilisation can be used to identify patients at higher risk of severe exacerbation, regardless of disease severity.
Airway pathogens detected in stable and exacerbated COPD in patients in Asia-Pacific
The presence of Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis or human rhinovirus in sputum samples significantly increases the odds of an exacerbation, as opposed to being in stable state, in COPD
Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with α1-antitrypsin deficiency genotypes PI*ZZ and PI*SZ in the Spanish registry of EARCO
Patients with the PI*ZZ genotype have more severe pulmonary disease than those with the PI*SZ genotype. However, asthma is as frequent in PI*SZ as in PI*ZZ.
Advances in diagnostic tools for respiratory tract infections: from tuberculosis to COVID-19 – changing paradigms?
Unprecedented advances have been achieved by improving and applying the latest technologies to key aspects such as epidemiology, contact tracing and diagnostics of respiratory tract infections that need to be properly addressed for global improvements
