PURPOSE: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) would have a poor prognosis if they were not continuously managed according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines. We aim to develop a model...

OBJECTIVE: Development of biofluid-based biomarkers is attractive for the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but still lacking. Thus, here we aimed to identify serum metabolic biomarkers for the diagnosis of COPD.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a highly heterogeneous condition projected to become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. To better characterize this condition, clinicians have classified patients sharing certain sympto...
While many pre-defined computed tomographic (CT) measures have been utilized to characterize chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is still challenging to represent pathological alternations of multiple dimensions and highly spatial hetero...
BACKGROUNDCurrently recommended traditional spirometry outputs do not reflect the relative contributions of emphysema and airway disease to airflow obstruction. We hypothesized that machine-learning algorithms can be trained on spirometry data to ide...
BACKGROUND: Adequate self-management skills are of great importance for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce the impact of COPD exacerbations. Using mobile health (mHealth) to support exacerbation-related self-manageme...
BACKGROUND: Inferring diseases related to the patient's electronic medical records (EMRs) is of great significance for assisting doctor diagnosis. Several recent prediction methods have shown that deep learning-based methods can learn the deep and co...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is underdiagnosed in the community. Thoracic CT scans are widely used for diagnostic and screening purposes for lung cancer. In this proof-of-concept study, we aimed to evaluate a software pipe...
