Prospective validation and usability evaluation of a mobile diagnostic App for ...
Amorim, Pedro; Santos, Daniela Ferreira; Drummond, Marta; Rodrigues, Pedro PereiraObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) classification relies on polysomnography (PSG) results. Current guidelines recommend the development of clinical prediction algorithms in screening prior to PSG. A recent intuitive and user-friendly tool (OSABayes), based on a Bayesian network model using six clinical variables, has been proposed to quantify the probability of OSA. Our aims are (1) to validate OSABayes prospectivel...
THE PREDICTIVE ROLE OF RESPIRATORY MUSCLE FUNCTION ON POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY C...
Kendal, Filipa; Silva, Gustavo; Drummond, Marta; Viana, Paulo; Pinho, Paulo; Oliveira, José; Teixeira Bastos, PedroBackground: Preoperative evaluation before pulmonary surgery typically do not include the assessment of respiratory muscle function, which might be a predictor of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC). Objectives: To ascertain whether preoperative respiratory muscle function predicts PPC in patients submitted to pulmonary resection by thoracotomy. Methods: Beyond pulmonary and respiratory muscle functions...

Sá-Sousa, Ana; Fonseca, João Almeida; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Ferreira, Ana; Arrobas, Ana; Mendes, Ana; Drummond, Marta; Videira, Wanda; Costa, TiagoThe Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry (Registo de Asma Grave Portugal, RAG) was developed by an open collaborative network of asthma specialists. RAG collects data from adults and pediatric severe asthma patients that despite treatment optimization and adequate management of comorbidities require step 4/5 treatment according to GINA recommendations. In this paper, we describe the development and implementation ...

Randomised short-term trial of high-span versus low-span APAP for treating slee...
Bastos, Hélder Novais; Cardoso, Ana Verónica; Castro, Ana Sofia; Gomes, Rita; Pinto, Tiago; Marinho, Anabela; Sucena, Maria; Almeida, JoãoPURPOSE: Auto-titrating continuous positive airway pressure (APAP) devices were developed to improve treatment efficacy and compliance in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Since there are insufficient data on the optimal pressure range setting, we aimed to compare the adherence, efficacy and tolerability of treatment with high-span versus low-span APAP. METHODS: Seventy-six newly diagnosed...
