Prevalence of chronic cough, its risk factors and population attributable risk ...
Abozid, Hazim; Patel, Jaymini; Burney, Peter; Hartl, Sylvia; Breyer-Kohansal, Robab; Mortimer, Kevin; Nafees, Asaad A.; Al Ghobain, MohammedBackground: Chronic cough is a common respiratory symptom with an impact on daily activities and quality of life. Global prevalence data are scarce and derive mainly from European and Asian countries and studies with outcomes other than chronic cough. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of chronic cough across a large number of study sites as well as to identify its main risk factors using a stan...

Comparative effectiveness of anti-IL5 and anti-IgE biologic classes in patients...
Pfeffer, Paul E.; Ali, Nasloon; Murray, Ruth; Ulrik, Charlotte; Tran, Trung N.; Maspero, Jorge; Peters, Matthew; Christoff, George C.Background: Patients with severe asthma may present with characteristics representing overlapping phenotypes, making them eligible for more than one class of biologic. Our aim was to describe the profile of adult patients with severe asthma eligible for both anti-IgE and anti-IL5/ 5R and to compare the effectiveness of both classes of treatment in real life. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study that inc...
Association of respiratory symptoms and lung function with occupation in the mu...
Ratanachina, Jate; Amaral, Andre F.S.; De Matteis, Sara; Lawin, Herve; Mortimer, Kevin; Obaseki, Daniel O.; Harrabi, Imed; Denguezli, MeriamBackground: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been associated with exposure in the workplace. We aimed to assess the association of respiratory symptoms and lung function with occupation in the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study. Methods: We analysed cross-sectional data from 28 823 adults (≥40 years) in 34 countries. We considered 11 occupations and grouped them by likelihood of exposure to organ...
Small airways obstruction and its risk factors in the Burden of Obstructive Lun...
Knox-Brown, Ben; Patel, Jaymini; Potts, James; Ahmed, Rana; Aquart-Stewart, Althea; Cherkaski, Hamid Hacene; Denguezli, Meriam; Elbiaze, MohammedBackground: Small airway obstruction is a common feature of obstructive lung diseases. Research is scarce on small airway obstruction, its global prevalence, and risk factors. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of small airway obstruction, examine the associated risk factors, and compare the findings for two different spirometry parameters. Methods: The Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study is a multination...

COPD: should diagnosis match physiology?
Studnicka, Michael; Horner, Andreas; Sator, Lea; Buist, A. Sonia; Lamprecht, Bernd; Zhong, NanShan; Liu, Shengming; Lu, Jiachun; Ran, Pixin; Wang, DaliWe are very grateful to Dr. Vanfleteren and colleagues for commenting on our data regarding overdiagnosed COPD2 and for putting this evidence into the framework of the current understanding of the disease. Based on the data presented on overdiagnosis, and on prior Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) observations on underdiagnosis,3 we truly believe that our worldwide community of pulmonary specialists cou...
Overdiagnosis of COPD in subjects with unobstructed spirometry
Sator, Lea; Horner, Andreas; Studnicka, Michael; Lamprecht, Bernd; Kaiser, Bernhard; McBurnie, Mary Ann; Buist, A. Sonia; Gnatiuc, LuisaBackground: There are several reports on the underdiagnosis of COPD, while little is known about COPD overdiagnosis and overtreatment. We describe the overdiagnosis and the prevalence of spirometrically defined false-positive COPD, as well as their relationship with overtreatment across 23 population samples in 20 countries participating in the BOLD Study between 2003 and 2012. Methods: A false-positive diagnos...
