Toward a Standardized Definition and Severity Classification of COPD Exacerbations.The author reflects on the clinical definitions and classifications of the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. According to the author, the standardization of such definitions is essential to...
This study shows that the COPD classification of patients may differ by up to 62.1% depending on which regression equation is used. This raises the issue of which regression equation should be used with the BTS guidelines. 展开 年份: 1998 ...
Assessing the severity of disease using known prognostic factors combined in these scoring systems is undoubtedly a step forward and is particularly useful for characterizing populations and predicting outcomes. However, it is also [13] Lawrence AD, Keaney NP. Classification of COPD patients using air...
2.9. Is there any Correlation Between the Classification of COPD Severity by GOLD 1234 Grades and GOLD ABCD Groups? S. Yambasu1 , R. Cusack2 , S.J. Lane2 , R. Hawksworth1 1 School of Medicine, Trinity College, Dublin, 2 Department of Respiratory Medicine, Adelaide and Meath Hospital, ...
TSS reflects the clinical classification of COVID-1922. It has also been shown to provide high specificity in the detection of severe cases and high inter-observer reliability with a short interpretation time compared to other severity scoring system23. It has been used in many studies, such as...
The proposed workflow is effective in distinguishing COPD severity, exhibiting strong performance in both binary and multi-class classification tasks. By analyzing the contribution of each lung lobe separately, the study provides empirical evidence that COPD’s impact is localized, which enhances the und...
The aim of this report from a general population sample was to examine the association of respiratory symptoms and COPD severity with HRQoL (health related quality of life). In a general population study in 1996–1997, of 3181 invited subjects aged 26–81 years, a total of 2405 returned post...
The primary outcome was the association between NET complexes and composite Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) COPD severity classification, which classifies patients into 4 groups, A, B, C, and D, depending on their symptoms (CAT score and MRC Dyspnoea score), lung function ...
The correlation between the severity of COPD and the number of hospitalisations per year was statistically significant using the GOLD classification system of severity (P=0.02 and r=0.294). A weak correlation was also found between the number of hospitalisations and the ERS classification system (...
Clinical symptoms, exacerbations, lung function and management according to COPD severity are presented in Table 1. 28.7% of the patients had had 2 or more exacerbations during the past year. Table 1 Description of 1584 subjects with COPD according to GOLD 2011 Classification (frequency of each ...
