Respirology, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 62-72, January 2026.We evaluated lobe‐specific lung function recovery at 6 months after lobectomy in 419 early‐stage NSCLC patients. The surgical approach, right upper lobectomy compared with right lower lobectomy, and reduced postoperative physical activity were associated with poor lung function recovery.

Development and validity testing of an IPF-specific version of the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire [PDF]
, 2010 Rationale The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is often applied to assess health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Some SGRQ items will inevitably have weaker measurement properties than others when

The Roughton-Forster equation for DLCO and DLNO re-examined
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2017 Roughton and Forster (RF) proposed to split the lung diffusing capacity into two contributions describing first, diffusion to red blood cells (RBC), and second, capture by diffusion from the RBC surface and reaction with haemoglobin. Solving the diffusion-reaction equations for simplified capillary-RBC structures, we investigate the RF interpretation ...

The impact of gas transfer on responses to exercise training in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary CirculationExercise training is recommended for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Post hoc analysis of the PH and Home‐Based (PHAHB) trial stratified patients into two groups based on median diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO).

The EDD (exercise, DLco, dyspnea) index in diffuse systemic sclerosis with pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis secondary to systemic sclerosis (SSc) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of important lung function parameters with chest high ...
