insufficiency. The vitamin D deficiency was more frequently associated with late nailfold videocapillaroscopy pattern and lowerDLCO(a pulmonary function test with diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide adjusted to hemoglobin) values, which supports the possible connection between vitamin D levels and...
Prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although many factors have been shown to relate to survival in patients with COPD, the patient's age and baseline postbronchodilator FEV1 are the best pred... NR Anthonisen,EC Wright,JE Hodgkin - 《Am Rev Respir Dis》 被引量: 4764发表: 19...
Respiratory function tests are still a basic component of preoperative studies in pulmonary resection. These tests include diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and predicted post-operative DLCO (ppoDLCO), determinations that are considered essential to stratify risk in patients with...
