Journal ArticleDOI

A. Sonia Buist,Mary Ann McBurnie,William M. Vollmer,Suzanne Gillespie,Peter Burney,David M. Mannino,Ana Maria Menezes,Sean D. Sullivan,Todd A. Lee,Kevin B. Weiss,Robert L. Jensen,Guy B. Marks,Amund Gulsvik,Ewa Nizankowska-Mogilnicka +13 more
TL;DR: This worldwide study showed higher levels and more advanced staging of spirometrically confirmed COPD than have typically been reported and variations in disease prevalence-other factors also seem to be important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global burden of COPD: risk factors, prevalence, and future trends.
David M. Mannino,A. Sonia Buist +1 more
TL;DR: Advances in understanding of COPD are increased recognition of the importance of comorbid disease, identification of different COPD phenotypes, and understanding how factors other than lung function affect outcome in patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An aggressive smoking intervention program significantly reduces the age-related decline in FEV 1 in middle-aged smokers with mild airways obstruction and use of an inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator results in a relatively small improvement inFEV 1 that appears to be reversed after the drug is discontinued.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking cessation and lung function in mild-to-moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Lung Health Study.
Paul D. Scanlon,John E. Connett,Lance A. Waller,Murray D. Altose,William C. Bailey,A. Sonia Buist,Donald P. Tashkin +6 more
TL;DR: Smokers with airflow obstruction benefit from quitting despite previous heavy smoking, advanced age, poor baseline lung function, or airway hyperresponsiveness, and Predictors of change in lung function included responsiveness to beta-agonist, baseline FEV, methacholine reactivity, age, sex, race, and baseline smoking rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a Standardized Version of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire
TL;DR: The AQLQ(S) has strong measurement properties and is valid for measuring health-related quality of life in asthma and the choice of instrument should depend on the task at hand.
