Race Adjustment of Pulmonary Function Tests in the Diagnosis and Management of COPD: a Scoping Review
Assessing the available literature on the negative impact of race-based pulmonary function prediction equations on outcomes in African Americans with COPD
Race-specific reference values do not enhance the prediction of relevant COPD outcomes like health status, exercise capacity, COPD events, or quantitative imaging metrics of COPD in African Americans.

Eosinophilia is a favorable marker for pneumonia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Eosinophilia serves as a favorable marker for severity of pneumonia, health care consumption, and cost of medical care in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and COPD.
Elastin-Derived Peptides Favor Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in COPD
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38712445/
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition characterized by chronic airway inflammation and obstruction, primarily caused by tobacco smoking. Although the involvement of immune cells in COPD pathogenesis is...
Researchers identified that serum from patients with COPD promotes the type 2 innate lymphoid cell phenotype, likely due to the elevated concentration of interleukin 5.
Deployment to bases with burn pits was associated with modestly increased odds of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, and ischemic stroke.
