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.
