Multidisciplinary Development and Initial Validation of a Clinical Knowledge Ba...

Most mobile health (mHealth) decision support systems currently available for chronic obstructive respiratory diseases (CORDs) are not supported by clinical evidence or lack clinical validation. The development of the knowledge base that will feed the clinical decision support system is a crucial step that involves the collection and systematization of clinical knowledge from relevant scientific sources and its...

Inflammatory patterns in fixed airflow obstruction are dependent on the presenc...

Rationale: Fixed airflow obstruction (FAO) can complicate asthma. Inflammation is a proposed underlying mechanism. Objective: Our aim in this cross-sectional investigation was to evaluate the blood leucocyte pattern and level of exhaled nitric oxide in asthmatics and non-asthmatics with or without FAO.

Operational definitions of asthma in recent epidemiological studies are inconsi...

OBJECTIVE: The best combination of questions to define asthma in epidemiological asthma studies is not known. We summarized the operational definitions of asthma used in prevalence studies and empirically assess how asthma prevalence estimates vary depending on the definition used. METHODS: We searched the Thomson Reuters ISI Web of knowledge and included (1) cross-sectional studies (2) on asthma prevalence (3)...
