Chronic Bronchitis, COPD, and Lung Function in Farmers: The Role of Biological Agents

TL;DR: Livestock farmers have an increased risk of chronic bronchitis, COPD, and reduced FEV, and atopy appears more susceptible to develop farming-related COPD; a role for specific biological agents cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Case-control study of prescribed fenoterol and death from asthma in New Zealand, 1977-81.

TL;DR: Findings from this case-control study add further support to the hypothesis that inhaled fenoterol increases the risk of death in patients with severe asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The use of the term 'odds ratio' in reporting the findings of case-control studies is technically correct, but is often misleading, and authors should be encouraged to not only specify the manner in which controls have been selected but also the corresponding effect measure which is being estimated by means of calculating the odds ratio in the subjects actually studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
