Sex differences in susceptibility, severity, and progression are prevalent for various diseases in multiple organ systems. This phenomenon is particularly apparent in respiratory diseases. Asthma demonstrates an age-dependent pattern of sexual dimorphism
The reporting and investigation of sex differences in disease are being increasingly recognised across various health conditions [6]. Nonetheless, there remains an incomplete understanding of the molecular and genetic factors driving sexual dimorphism. This is partly a result of large clinical and cohort...

We aimed to validate a Hindi version of a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test (CAT) for assessing the health status of patients in northern India. Methods. Of the 178 patients studied, 171 with COPD self-completed CAT twice at a 4-week interval. ...
By hypothesis testing, the correlations between the CAIT-C and the subscales of the SF-36 and FAAM in this study were the same as that of our previous hypothesis, meaning that the CAIT-C has good construct validity. The CAIT-C had the strongest correlations with the two subscales of ...
However, during the interview, we noticed that most participants paused for a second to comprehend ‘average pain,’ which was translated as in Amharic. This translation gives ‘average’ a more mathematical meaning. Based on the participants’ responses and the committee discussion, the translation...
Semi-structured interviews (see the online appendix), lasting approximately 60 min, were conducted, which focused on personal understanding of CHF and living with the disease, including impact on lifestyle and quality of life. An inductive qualitative approach with thematic content analysis was ...
This phenomenon is particularly apparent in respiratory diseases. Asthma demonstrates an age-dependent pattern of sexual dimorphism. However, marked differences between males and females exist in other pervasive conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer. The sex ...
Researchers use these parameters to calculate the sample size, statistical power setting, as well as finding the cost of given treatments and the progression of the disease. Additionally, these parameters help in clinical practice for finding the effectiveness of given treatments and formulating the ...
