GOLD COPD Report includes updated research and recommendations that reflect shifts in thinking on COPD management.

Patients with COPD with increased maximum forced inspiratory flow (FIFmax) had fewer severe exacerbations and better lung function over time.

Hypercapnia in COPD progression may be accurately predicted with spirometric lung function parameters ascertained during routine care.

Introducing artificial intelligence (AI)–powered robots like AMECA into health care comes with potential benefits like ...

Lung function parameters, including forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio, were assessed by spirometry before and after inhalation of 180 μg of albuterol at YR11, ...

The study included participants with spirometry defined COPD and available chest CT imaging ... 21.7% were actively smoking, and the mean FEV1 was 61.5 ±21.1%. CB was identified in 22.9% of patients ...

Other lung volumes are normal. FER: Forced expiratory ratio; FEV 1: Forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FRC: Functional residual capacity; FVC: Forced vital capacity; KCO: Carbon monoxide diffusion ...

In spite of the fact that chronic circulatory and respiratory conditions engender a significant amount of suffering [1] and cause more deaths among older adults in developed countries than cancer ...
