Mashup Score: 6Risk of hospitalization in a sample of COVID-19 patients with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - 1 year(s) ago
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may have worse coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)–related outcomes. We compared COVID-19 hospitalization risk in patients with and without COPD.

Mashup Score: 2Dupilumab efficacy in subgroups of type 2 asthma with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids at baseline - 2 year(s) ago
Dupilumab blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin (IL)-4/IL-13, key and central drivers of type 2 inflammation in multiple diseases. In phase 3 QUEST (NCT02414854), add-on dupilumab 200 and 300 mg every 2 weeks reduced severe exacerbations, improved pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and was generally well tolerated in patients with uncontrolled…

Mashup Score: 1
Real-life studies report discordant prescribing of inhaled triple therapy (TT) among individuals with COPD. Guidelines recommend pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for persistent breathlessness and/or exercise limitation. This real-life study aimed to assess the effects of in-patient PR in individuals under TT as compared to other inhaled therapies (no TT).

Mashup Score: 0Glitter endurance test: A new test to assess the functional capacity of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - 2 year(s) ago
For people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the ability to perform functional activities for a prolonged duration is important for completion of daily tasks. While the Glittre-ADL test measures time taken to complete a series of functional activities, there is no test of endurance capacity for common daily activities.

Mashup Score: 1Pulmonary arterial pruning is associated with CT-derived bronchiectasis progression in smokers - 2 year(s) ago
Loss of small pulmonary arteries measured as the ratio of blood vessel volume in arteries <5 mm2 in cross-section to total arterial blood vessel volume (BV5a/TBVa), with lower values indicating more pruning, was associated with 5-yr progressing CT-derived bronchiectasis in smokers (Odds Ratio (OR) [95% Confidence interval], 1.28 [1.07–1.53] P = 0.007). Corresponding results in smokers with COPD,...

Mashup Score: 0Self-reported respiratory outcomes associated with blast exposure in post 9/11 veterans - 2 year(s) ago
Blast lung overpressure has received interest as a cause of chronic respiratory disease in Service members who deployed in support of U.S. military operations in Southwest Asia and Afghanistan since 2001. We studied whether veterans who experienced blast exposure report more chronic respiratory symptoms and diagnoses compared to deployed veterans who did not.

Mashup Score: 0Stability of distinct symptom experiences in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - 2 year(s) ago
This study aimed to examine reclassification rates among classes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients based on their distinct symptom experiences and to assess how these subgroups differed in symptom scores and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes over one year. Moreover, we wished to assess how these subgroups differed in demographic and clinical characteristics at…

Mashup Score: 1Uncommon thoracic manifestations from extrapulmonary tumors: Computed tomography evaluation - Pictorial review - 2 year(s) ago
Although metastasis can occur at a variety of sites, pulmonary involvement is common in patients with cancer. Depending on the source and type of tumor, pulmonary metastases present with a wide range of radiologic appearances. Hematogenous dissemination through the pulmonary arteries to the pulmonary capillary network is the most common form of spread in pulmonary metastases. However, they may…
