TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the correlation between exercise tolerance and clinical parameters, focusing especially on the cross-sectional area (CSA) of skeletal muscle, and found that PMCSA was weakly correlated after adjustment.
Journal ArticleDOI
This patient is not breathing properly: is this COPD, heart failure, or neither?
TL;DR: The diagnostic challenges in distinguishing COPD from HF are highlighted and the implications of their overlap are explored, and the use of biomarkers and treatments for HF in patients with COPD to improve long-term outcomes are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Importance of Appropriate Diagnosis in the Practical Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a current understanding of the importance of an appropriate diagnosis in the real-world management of COPD, which is based on the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the European Respiratory Society (ERS), and the Japanese Rheumatology Society (JRS).

TL;DR: The BODE index, a simple multidimensional grading system, is better than the FEV1 at predicting the risk of death from any cause and from respiratory causes among patients with COPD.

TL;DR: The reduction in death from all causes among patients with COPD in the combination-therapy group did not reach the predetermined level of statistical significance, and there were significant benefits in all other outcomes among these patients.
