Epidemiological Characteristics of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease in South Korea: A Meta-Analysis of Individual Participant Data
CONCLUSION: We performed a meta-analysis of the clinical characteristics of patients with NTM-PD in South Korea. We found age- and sex-related differences in disease-specific severity. Further investigation would enhance our comprehension of the disease's nature and inherited and acquired host factors.PMID:38590075 | DOI:10.4046/trd.2023.0193 (Source: Respiratory Care)
