Whole-Body versus Local DXA-Scan for the Diagnosis of Osteoporosis in COPD Patients

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2010
Background. Osteoporosis is an extrapulmonary effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on BMD measured by DXA-scan. The best location for BMD measurement in COPD has not been determined. Aim of this study

Impact of HACOR Score on Noninvasive Ventilation Failure in Non-COPD Patients with Acute-on-Chronic Respiratory Failure

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2021
Background. A rating scale that takes into account heart rate, acidosis, consciousness, oxygenation, and respiratory rate (the HACOR score) has been used to predict noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Endoscopic lung volume reduction coil treatment in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure: an observational study

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2017
Background: Endoscopic lung volume reduction coil (LVRC) treatment is an option for selected patients with severe emphysema. In the advanced stages, emphysema leads to respiratory failure: hypoxemia and eventually chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.

European Respiratory Society Guideline on Long-term Home Non-Invasive Ventilation for Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND While the role of acute non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to improve outcome in acute life-threatening hypercapnic respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the evidence of clinical efficacy of long-term

Respiratory changes during defecation in patients with chronic respiratory failure

, 2004
Oxygen (O2) desaturation may occur in patients affected by respiratory diseases during daily activities, although most of these activities, e.g. walking, washing and cooking, can be avoided or eventually performed with an external aid.

Anaemia in chronic respiratory failure [PDF]

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2011
In patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anaemia is common and associated with impaired long-term survival and quality of life. Whether anaemia is also prevalent in patients with other severe, non-inflammatory respiratory diseases has not yet been systematically tested.In 595 patients with obstructive (OD, 54.8%) or ...
