Which cardiovascular diseases are most influenced by smoking - a cohort retrospective study
Conclusion: This study suggests that smoking may have a greater impact on the development of stroke (p = 0.012) and HBP (p = 0.025). Smoking also has an impact on the development of AMI, but on a smaller scale (p=0.042). Higher PY values are also influencing the development of CVD (p = 0.035). There was no statistically significant variation between the two groups in the development of DM2.

Use of a USA population survey to describe tobacco exposure, respiratory symptoms, and chronic diseases among smokers
Conclusion: Our population-based data shows a significant relationship between prolonged tobacco use and frequency of respiratory symptoms as well as some chronic diseases.

The effect of sex and age on the comorbidity burden of OSA: an observational analysis from a large nationwide US health claims database
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition but studies exploring the burden of OSA-associated comorbidities have been limited by small sample sizes with underrepresentation of women. We queried the Truven Health MarketScan Research Databases 2003–2012, which is a collection of health insurance claims for working adults and retirees with employer-sponsored health insurance. Adults with a diagnostic code for OSA with at least 12 months of follow-up from the index date of OSA diagnosis were compared to a matched random sample. Comorbidities were assessed using International Classification of Dis...

Prevalence of common diseases in COPD patients versus lung-healthy control subjects: Results from the German COSYCONET study
COSYCONET investigates the interrelationship of COPD and comorbidities with regard to course and prognosis of the disease. The present analysis examined the prevalence of selected common diseases in the COPD cohort compared to apparently lung-healthy subjects from the population-based reference cohorts KORA and SHIP.Spirometry was performed in all subjects and COPD patients were graded according to GOLD criteria. Subjects from KORA/SHIP without known COPD, asthma or chronic bronchitis and with FEV1/FVC≥0.7 were regarded as apparently lung-healthy. Prevalences of myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, obe...

Characteristics of patients treated with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) prescribed during hospitalization
Conclusions: The follow-up after discharge in specialized units of tobacco cessation is very low, yet the efficacy of the treatment per year was high.

30-day Readmissions After Acute Exacerbations of COPD: How Relevant Are Comorbidities?
Conclusions: Cardiovascular diseases were highly prevalent and acute heart failure was an important cause of 30-day readmission among AECOPD patients. GERD may complicate AECOPD recovery and patients with previous stroke may be at higher risk of a fatal outcome.

Accelerated FEV1 decline and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a primary care population of COPD patients
Accelerated lung function decline has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population, but little is known about this association in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the association between accelerated lung function decline and CVD outcomes and mortality in a primary care COPD population. COPD patients without a history of CVD were identified in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)-GOLD primary care dataset (n=36 382). Accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) was defined using the fastest quartile of the COPD popula...

Metabolic diseases in parents and grandparents predict asthma and hay fever in offspring
Conclusion: This is the first study to show that familial cardio-metabolic disease predicts specific asthma phenotypes and hay fever, independent of familial asthma, suggesting that two distinct pathways carry asthma risk across generations, via familial asthma as well as cardio-metabolic disease.

Assessment of public awareness on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Slovenia
ConclusionsPublic awareness and knowledge about COPD is low and COPD is not considered as relevant public health problem. Strategies to inform and educate Slovenian public about COPD are urgently needed.

Association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure and age in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients
Conclusions: Coronary artery disease was frequent in OSA pts (more than 20%). We found strongest association between heart failure and age and CAD in OSA patients.

Clinical factors linked with coronary artery disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Conclusion: Our data showed that hypertension, left heart failure, and lower serum HDL level were independent predictors for the presence of CAD in COPD. FEV1 and triple vessel CAD were independently associated with the survival of the patients with COPD.

C-reactive protein: Its correlations with pulmonary function, physical capacity and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic syndrome
Conclusions: It was found negative relationships between CRP level with PF and PC. On the contrary, there were positive correlations of CRP with parameters of BC. We think that it can be provided decline in the CRP level and increment in PF improving the functional capacity and body composition with aerobic exercise in patients with MS.
