Gestational diabetes exposure is linked to decrements in lung function, current asthma, and wheeze among children at ages 8 to 9 years.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents a major global health burden. While FEV1/FVC is the diagnostic gold standard, its application is limited by patient compliance and ...

The following is a summary of “Effect of a post-bronchodilator FEV 1 /FVC < 0.7 on COPD diagnosis and treatment: a regression discontinuity design,” published in the April 2025 issue of Respiratory ...

Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) was associated with increased odds of interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs), and having both PRISm and ILAs was linked to a higher risk for mortality than ...

NEW research shows that individuals with impaired lung function trajectories experience a higher burden of respiratory symptoms, including wheeze and phlegm, even if they do not meet the spirometric ...

The 2012 GLI race-specific equation failed to detect reduced lung function in 39% of Black children participating in three large cohorts. The 2022 GLI race-neutral equation identified two- to ...

—Older age, presence of scoliosis, and other factors were associated with lower predicted forced vital capacity in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy using non-invasive ventilation. Individuals ...

Better lung function, expressed as higher forced vital capacity (FVC), is associated with a reduced risk for the onset of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke over a follow-up period of approximately ...

After 12 weeks of nebulized NAC, patients’ mean phlegm scores, as measured by the COPD assessment test, significantly decreased from 3.47 at baseline to 2.62. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) nebulizer therapy ...
