Latest AI and machine learning research in smoking & tobacco for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Among individuals with a history of smoking but preserved spirometry (tobacco exposed with preserved spirometry, or TEPS), lung volume-based stratification identifies two phenotypes at increased risk for COPD (pre-COPD): those with a relatively elevated total lung capacity ([TLC]high) and those with a relatively elevated functional residual capacity-to-TLC ratio ([FRC/TLC]high). These ...
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk of lung cancer, and the identification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) mutations may help detect lung cancer in them. However, whether the addition of ctDNA information improves lung cancer prediction remains to be elucidated. Blood samples from 236 patients with COPD (119 with lung cancer and 117 without lung cancer...
