Preoperative frailty screening in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer surgery: an essential step for a good surgical outcome
Expert Rev Respir Med. 2024 May 1. doi: 10.1080/17476348.2024.2349579. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a disease commonly diagnosed in the elderly, often in advanced stages. However, elderly patients with lung cancer can benefit from surgery, provided that postoperative risks are assessed appropriately before surgery. Frailty is a measure of age-related impaired functional status and a predictor of mortality and morbidity. However, its importance as a preoperative marker is not well defined.AREAS COVERED: This systematic review discusses the importance of preoperative frail...

Relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension: past, present and future
Expert Rev Respir Med. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1080/17476348.2024.2345684. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a widely prevalent condition with consequent multiple organ systems complications. There is consensus that OSA is associated with negative effects on pulmonary hemodynamics but whether it contributes to development of clinical pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unclear.AREAS COVERED: In this review we 1) highlight previous studies looking into the possible bidirectional association of OSA and PH, focusing on those that explore clinical prognostic implications, 2) explore potential...

Drug-induced interstitial lung disease: a narrative review of a clinical conundrum
Expert Rev Respir Med. 2024 Jan-Feb;18(1-2):23-39. doi: 10.1080/17476348.2024.2329612. Epub 2024 Mar 19.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD) is increasing in incidence, due to the use of many new drugs across a broad range of cancers and chronic inflammatory diseases. The presentation and onset of DI-ILD are variable even for the same drug across different individuals. Clinical suspicion is essential for identifying these conditions, with timely drug cessation an important determinant of outcomes.AREAS COVERED: This review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of epidemiology, ris...
