Spirometric pattern and cardiovascular risk: a prospective study of 0.3 million Chinese never-smokers.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac

January 2025

Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Peking University, Beijing 100191, China.

Background: Existing studies have not provided robust evidence about the CVD risk of non-smoking patients with restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) or airflow obstruction (AFO), and how the risk is modified by body shape. We aimed to bridge the gap.

Methods: We used never-smokers' data from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and performed Cox models by sex (278,953 females and 50,845 males).

Individuals with Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm), defined as FEV/FVC ≥0.7 and FEV1 <80% predicted, are at higher risk of developing COPD. However, data for Australian adults are limited.

Background: Although morbidity and mortality are reportedly increased in individuals with preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), little is known about how to optimise PRISm-related health.

Aims: Is Life's Essential 8 (LE8) associated with mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in individuals with PRISm and with PRISm transition trajectories?

Methods: Participants with PRISm (n=31 943) with complete data on LE8 and 23 179 individuals with two spirometry measurements were included from the UK Biobank. Eight health components were used to create the LE8 score (0-100).

COVID-19 pulmonary phenotypes and longitudinal patterns in the first wave of the pandemic.

Respir Med

January 2025

Pulmonary Unit, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Department, Pisa University Hospital, Pisa, Italy; Department of Surgical, Medical, and Molecular Pathology and Critical Care Medicine, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy.

Background: The long-term evolution of COVID-19 in patients hospitalized during the pandemic's first wave remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to identify COVID-19 pulmonary phenotypes and their longitudinal patterns over a 12-month follow-up.

Methods: COVID-19 patients discharged from Pisa University Hospital (Italy) between March-September 2020, were evaluated at T3, T12, and T24 months post-discharge.

Lung clearance index: A sensitive measure of airway function improvement in adolescents after weight loss from bariatric surgery.

Respir Med

January 2025

Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel; Clalit Health Services, Dan Petah Tikva District, Petah Tikva, Israel. Electronic address:

Background: Morbid obesity in adolescents impacts respiratory function, often leading to reduced lung volume and obstructive ventilatory defects. However, standard spirometric values frequently remain within normal ranges.

Objectives: We hypothesized that Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is a more sensitive marker for detecting airway dysfunction in adolescents with morbid obesity than conventional lung function tests.
