Frequency and functional translation of low muscle mass in overweight and obese patients with COPD

Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Cut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI)

Restricted spirometry and cardiometabolic comorbidities: results from the international population based BOLD study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Whether restricted spirometry, i.e. low Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), predicts chronic cardiometabolic disease is not definitely known. In this international population-based study, we assessed the relationship between restricted spirometry and

Introducing a new prognostic instrument for long-term mortality prediction in COPD patients: the CADOT index

Biomedical Papers, 2021
Objectives. The BODE (BMI, Obstruction - FEV1, Dyspnoea - mMRC, Exercise - 6-MWT) and the ADO (Age, Dyspnoea - mMRC, Obstruction - FEV1) indices are widely used prognosis assessment tools for long-term mortality prediction in COPD patients but subject to

Airway bacterial and fungal microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Medicine in Microecology, 2021
Little is known about airway mycobiome, and its relationship with bacterial microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here we report the first simultaneous characterization of sputum bacterial and fungal microbiome in 84 stable COPD and

Biomarker-Based Classification of Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure Into Inflammatory Subphenotypes: A Single-Center Exploratory Study

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
OBJECTIVES:. Hyper- and hypoinflammatory subphenotypes discovered in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome predict clinical outcomes and therapeutic responses. These subphenotypes may be important in broader critically ill patient populations
