Joint modeling of forced vital capacity measures with time to onset of polycythemia among chronic obstructive pulmonary outpatients follows‐up: A case of University of Gondar Referral Hospital [PDF]

Health Science Reports, 2023
Background and Aims Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes airflow obstruction and respiratory problems. Thus, the main objective of this study was to determine the risk factors for the progression of COPD using longitudinally measured ...

Mapping EQ5D utilities from forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
ObjectivesFibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes a large group of conditions that lead to scarring of the lungs. The lack of available 5-level EuroQol 5D (EQ5D) data has limited the ability to conduct economic evaluations in ILD.

Forced vital capacity as a survival predictor in systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease
Background: Pulmonary hypertension associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-PH) carries a significant risk of mortality. Although interstitial lung disease (ILD) often coexists with SSc-PH, its impact on prognosis varies considerably depending on disease ...

Spirometry-Defined Restriction Modifies the Association between Forced Vital Capacity and Bronchiectasis Exacerbation [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
Background Obstructive ventilatory defect (OVD) is the most common ventilatory pattern in bronchiectasis, with low forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), which is a well-known risk factor for acute exacerbation (AE).

Normal age-related decline in forced vital capacity: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

European Respiratory Review
Lung function peaks in early adulthood and declines thereafter, even without respiratory disease. Differentiating physiological ageing from pathological trajectories is critical for diagnosis, prognostication and interpretation of clinical trial end ...

Study of Pulmonary Function Tests in Multitransfused Children with Thalassaemia: A Case-control Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022
Introduction: Lung involvement is one of the known complications of thalassaemia. This study was undertaken to assess the predominant type of pulmonary dysfunction. Most studies show pulmonary function abnormalities but the results are conflicting. Aim:

Effect of Water-based Inspiratory Muscle Training on Lung Functions and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Parkinson’s Disease: A Longitudinal Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022
Introduction: Water-based exercises are widely accepted exercises due to its acceptance and additional benefits from them. Exclusively, aquatic exercises are more advantageous than Land Exercises (LE), particularly in the early phase after rehabilitation
