Hyperinflation and reduced diffusing capacity predict prognosis in SCLC: value of extended pre-therapeutic lung function testing [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2023 Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive growth and poor prognosis. Although SCLC affects nearly exclusively heavy smokers and leads to frequent respiratory symptoms, the impact of pre-therapeutic lung function testing in ...

The diffusing capacity in adult cystic fibrosis
Respiratory Medicine, 2003 The value of adjusting the diffusing capacity for the lung volume has been demonstrated in a large number of patients with other lung diseases but has not been validated in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Pulmonary function test results on a cohort of 52 adult CF patients were analyzed to determine whether the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide ...

Interpretable machine-learning model for Predicting the Convalescent COVID-19 patients with pulmonary diffusing capacity impairment [PDF]
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2023 Introduction The COVID-19 patients in the convalescent stage noticeably have pulmonary diffusing capacity impairment (PDCI). The pulmonary diffusing capacity is a frequently-used indicator of the COVID-19 survivors’ prognosis of pulmonary function, but ...

The need for race-specific reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021 Background Few reference equations exist for healthy adults of various races for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO). The purpose of this study was to collect pilot data to demonstrate that race-specific reference equations are needed ...

Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide and carbon monoxide in relation to morphological changes as assessed by computed tomography in patients with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2009 BackgroundDue to large-scale destruction, changes in membrane diffusion (Dm) may occur in cystic fibrosis (CF), in correspondence to alterations observed by computed tomography (CT). Dm can be easily quantified via the diffusing capacity for nitric oxide

Diffusing capacity as an independent predictor of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA weak correlation between diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and emphysema has been reported. This study investigated whether impaired DLCO in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased risk of acute

Diffusing capacity predicts long-term survival after lung resection for cancer.
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012 OBJECTIVES Predictors of long-term survival for patients with lung cancer assist in individualizing treatment recommendations. Diffusing capacity (DLCO) is a predictor of complications after resection for lung cancer.

Diffusing capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment: A meta-analysis
Chronic Respiratory Disease, 2021 To achieve a multidimensional evaluation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, the spirometry measures are supplemented by assessment of symptoms, risk of exacerbations, and CT imaging.
