Pre-Transplant Pulmonary Function Test Parameters of FEF50% (Forced expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity) and RV (residual volume) in Combination Can Predict the Risk for Development of Lung Gvhd afte
66 Further investigation is required to determine if there is a mechanistic relationship between lung function and survival and whether they might be influenced by the same factors independently. Concerns About Ignoring Race An alternative to using race is to use a range of values that includes ...
The measurement of lung function is an integral component of respiratory medicine. In the past 10–15 years there has been significant progress in the development of newer lung function tests such that there are now standardized guidelines and commercial
The GWAS Catalog term analyses revealed that in Europeans, the genes were significantly enriched for GWAS terms associated with “Height” (hypergeometric test;p = 1.06 × 10−93), “Lung function (FEV1)” (p = 5.4 × 10−25), “Pulmonary function interaction” (p ...
Pulmonary function testing Post-bronchodilator spirometry, body plethysmography, and single breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) were performed according to current standards44,45,46. Predicted spirometry, lung volume and DLCOvalues were calculated from reference equations47,48,49. ...

33 Second, this study accounted for multiple factors that serve as proxies for disease severity (eg, use of home oxygen, receipt of mechanical ventilation); however, pulmonary function tests results or physiologic measures such as those used to compute the BODE (Body Mass Index, Airflow ...
Pulmonary function tests were performed at 6 months and annually thereafter. Sample Size The sample size was calculated separately for each arm to assess the acceptable toxicity rate. We assumed the true rate of grade 3 or higher treatment-related AEs within 1 year was 5% (P = .05), ...

35 Pulmonary rehabilitation is designed to reduce symptoms, optimize function, and improve quality of life. The program should be multidisciplinary and include activity, educational, nutritional, and psychosocial support. Complementary measures to relieve dyspnea and address and improve quality of life and...
