Two-year diffusion capacity trajectory in COVID-19 pneumonia survivors
Chron Respir Dis. 2024 Jan-Dec;21:14799731231222284. doi: 10.1177/14799731231222284.ABSTRACTReduced diffusion capacity (DLCO) after COVID 19 pneumonia was reported in hospitalised patients after discharge. Here, we studied the restoration of DLCO over a 24 months period in COVID-19 pneumonia survivors (n = 317), who were categorised into "moderate" cases (no oxygen supply; no need for hospitalisation), "severe" cases (respiratory frequency > 30/min and/or peripheral oxygen SpO2 < 93%), and "critical" cases (respiratory failure and admission into the intensive care unit). COVID-19 pneumonia survivors with a decreased ...

Respiratory impairments in patients suffering from Fabry disease - A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of affected lung function among the National Danish Fabry cohort was 28%. Patients with classic gene variants frequently developed a decrease in lung function regardless of their smoking status, with significant relationship with disease severity.PMID:38334083 | PMC:PMC10858660 | DOI:10.1177/14799731231221821 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)

Relationship between dust allergen sensitization and cardiac autonomic function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
CONCLUSION: Dust allergen sensitization may be associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with COPD. Whether desensitization can prevent cardiovascular complications in these patients should be further explored.PMID:38307127 | PMC:PMC10838027 | DOI:10.1177/14799731241231814 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)

Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic: Experiences and self-management approaches adopted by people with interstitial lung disease
This study examined the impact of the pandemic on daily life, psychological wellbeing and access to healthcare and identified approaches undertaken to remain safe.METHODS: Four specialist clinics in tertiary centres in Australia (Victoria: two sites; New South Wales: one site; Western Australia: one site) recruited patients with ILD during an 8-week period from March 2021. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with transcripts analysed using principles of grounded theory.RESULTS: Ninety participants were interviewed between April and December 2021. Participants were predominantly female, former smokers with a...

Quantifying uptake and completion of pulmonary rehabilitation programs in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease known to tertiary care
CONCLUSION: Attrition occurs throughout the PRP journey. Interactions with HCPs about PRPs positively influenced attendance. Understanding how HCPs can best contextualise PRPs to encourage referral acceptance and uptake is an important area for further work.PMID:38183174 | PMC:PMC10771047 | DOI:10.1177/14799731231224781 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)

Risk factors and clinical characteristics of breathlessness in Australian adults: Data from the BOLD Australia study
CONCLUSIONS: Breathlessness is common among Australian adults and is independently associated with obesity, chronic respiratory diseases, heart diseases, being Indigenous Australians, and impaired spirometry. Multi-disciplinary assessment and comprehensive investigation is needed in clinical practice to address the many factors associated with breathlessness in the population.PMID:38126966 | PMC:PMC10748519 | DOI:10.1177/14799731231221820 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)

Developments in respiratory self-management interventions over the last two decades
Chron Respir Dis. 2023 Jan-Dec;20:14799731231221819. doi: 10.1177/14799731231221819.ABSTRACTThis paper describes developments in the fields of asthma and COPD self-management interventions (SMIs) over the last two decades and discusses future directions. Evidence around SMIs has exponentially grown. Efficacy on group level is convincing and both asthma and COPD SMIs are currently recommended by respiratory guidelines. Core components of asthma SMIs are defined as education, action plans, and regular review, with some discussion about self-monitoring. Exacerbation action plans are defined as an integral part of COPD managem...
