TLDR
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.

Global burden of COPD: risk factors, prevalence, and future trends.

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.

Global, regional, and national deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years, and years lived with disability for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Joan B. Soriano, +132 more
TL;DR: The GBD study provides annual updates on estimates of deaths, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), a summary measure of fatal and non-fatal disease outcomes, for over 300 diseases and injuries, for 188 countries from 1990 to the most recent year.

The burden of disease in older people and implications for health policy and practice

TL;DR: The authors in this article found that 30.23% of the total global burden of disease is attributable to disorders in people aged 60 years and older, and the leading contributors to disease burden in older people are cardiovascular diseases, malignant neoplasms (15·1%), chronic respiratory diseases (9·5%), musculoskeletal diseases (7·5), and neurological and mental disorders (6·6%).

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Standardisation of spirometry

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Standardation of LUNG FUNCTION TESTing” that combines “situational awareness” and “machine learning” to solve the challenge of integrating nanofiltration into the energy system.

Spirometric Reference Values from a Sample of the General U.S. Population

TL;DR: Hankinson and Odencrantz as mentioned in this paper used a piecewise polynomial model with age and height as predictors to derive reference values for three race/ethnic groups and should prove useful for diagnostic and research purposes.
