Bronchodilator responsiveness as a phenotypic characteristic of established chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND Bronchodilator responsiveness is a potential phenotypic characteristic of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We studied whether change in lung function after a bronchodilator is abnormal in COPD, whether stable responder subgroups can be identified, and whether these subgroups experience different clinical outcomes. METHODS 1831 patients with COPD, 285 smoking (SC) and 2...
متن کاملCHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Bronchodilator reversibility testing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background: A limited or absent bronchodilator response is used to classify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and can determine the treatment offered. The reliability of the recommended response criteria and their relationship to disease progression has not been established. Methods: 660 patients meeting European Respiratory Society (ERS) diagnostic criteria for irreversible COPD wer...
متن کاملUse of clinical characteristics to predict spirometric classification of obstructive lung disease
Background There is no consensus on how to define patients with symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A diagnosis of asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) syndrome has been proposed, but its value is debated. This study (GSK Study 201703 [NCT02302417]) investigated the ability of statistical modeling approaches to define distinct disease groups in patients with obstructive lu...
متن کاملAssessing two spirometric criteria of pre-bronchodilator and post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio in detecting air flow obstruction.
OBJECTIVES To assess the Pre-bronchodilator criteria and the Post-bronchodilator criteria of FEV1/FVC ratio in diagnosing Airflow obstruction. METHODS An observational study was conducted from 1988 to 2006 at the Aga Khan University Hospital Patients referred to the pulmonary function test laboratory for spirometry with bronchodilator reversibility at the hospital during the above said period...
متن کامل[Spirometric reversibility to salbutamol in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Differential effects on FEV1 and on lung volumes].
BACKGROUND In recent years it has been suggested that in COPD, lung volumes can be modified more than expiratory flows, with bronchodilators. AIM To study the acute effects of salbutamol on FEV1 and lung volumes at rest. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty stable COPD patients were studied using a single dose of salbutamol (200 microg). Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), slow vital capacit...
متن کاملChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Never-smoking Welding Workers
Introduction: Results from several studies indicate that workplace exposure to welding fumes is associated with increased frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in exposed workers. Objective: To assess the prevalence and characteristics of COPD in never-smoking welders. Methods: A cross-sectional study including 53 never-smoking male welders (aged 35–60 years) was performed, ...
