Climate Change & COPD: A GOLD Science Committee Review
marzo 28, 2025
Climate change and COPD are linked through extreme temperature, wildfire smoke, dust storms and allergen exposure, which pose major health threats.

Airway mucous plugging is associated with exacerbations, lung function decline, and mortality in COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis. Identifying it as a treatable trait may improve patient outcomes through airway clearance techniques and pharmacological strategies.
Airflow limitation can worsen or improve from school age to adulthood at all severity levels. This study examines lung function changes and the impact of BMI and wheezing, highlighting key health interventions.
Survivors of preterm birth face increased risks of respiratory diseases, yet awareness among specialists is low. This study examines gaps in long-term care, highlighting the need for clear follow-up guidelines and improved communication between medical teams.
Artificial Intelligence in COPD is transforming disease management, from underdiagnosis to treatment guidance. Discover how machine learning clusters patients, predicts outcomes, and optimizes healthcare resources.
Discover the normal ranges of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) across different age groups in a respiratory healthy population. Based on 2,251 participants, this study identifies factors like age, body height, and eosinophil counts that influence FeNO levels.
Explore the causes of reduced FEV1 in early adulthood, with data from Lifelines and BAMSE cohorts. Findings highlight PRISm and airflow limitation origins, early identification in childhood, and differentiated clinical implications.
Discover the first study designed to analyze the impact of EVLP on the lung microbiome and the local inflammatory response. Understanding the composition, diversity, and functional interactions of the pulmonary microbiome in lung transplants holds promise for personalized respiratory medicine.
