PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were development and validation of an expert system (ES) aimed at supporting the diagnosis of chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD).
Alcohol intake has been inconsistently associated with lung function levels in cross-sectional studies. The goal of our study was to determine whether longitudinally assessed light-to-moderate alcohol intake is associated with levels and decline of l...

GOAL: The aim of this study is to find a useful methodology to classify multiple distinct pulmonary conditions including the healthy condition and various pathological types, using pulmonary sounds data.
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and progressive respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation and symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production. Acute exacerbations (AE) of COPD (AE...
Purpose To measure the benefit of single-phase CT, inspiratory-expiratory CT, and clinical data for convolutional neural network (CNN)-based chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) staging. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included...
RATIONALE: Spirometry and plethysmography are the gold standard pulmonary function tests (PFT) for diagnosis and management of lung disease. Due to the inaccessibility of plethysmography, spirometry is often used alone but this leads to missed or mis...
BACKGROUND: In spirometry, the area under expiratory flow-volume curve (AEX-FV) was found to perform well in diagnosing and stratifying physiologic impairments, potentially lessening the need for complex lung volume testing. Expanding on prior work, ...

Despite being a major cause of morbidity and mortality, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently undiagnosed. Yet the burden of disease among the undiagnosed is significant, as these individuals experience symptoms, exacerbations, a...
