Background: The role of objective cough monitoring systems for assessments in adults with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) is unclear. This systematic review aimed to synthesise current literature on frequency of use and characteristics of these systems.
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL were systematically searched to identify relevant literature evaluating cough in adults with CRDs using objective cough monitoring systems.
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a key complication in interstitial lung disease (ILD), with recent therapeutic advances.
Research Question: What are the diagnostic evaluation, epidemiologic features, associated factors, prognostic significance, and outcome measures in interventional trials for PH in patients with ILD in the current literature?
Study Design And Methods: The Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL databases were searched for original research evaluating PH in participants with ILD of any cause. The definition of PH was based on the investigators' criteria.
Background: Little is known about generalisability of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We evaluated eligibility criteria for phase III IPF RCTs to determine their representativeness in clinical registries, and calculated forced vital capacity (FVC) changes according to eligibility criteria.
Methods: Common eligibility criteria used in >60% of IPF RCTs were identified from a literature search and applied to patients with IPF from prospective Australian and Canadian registries.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a significant healthcare burden affecting approximately one billion people worldwide. The prevalence of OSA is rising with the ongoing obesity epidemic, a key risk factor for its development. While in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing OSA, it has significant drawbacks that prevent widespread use.
