  • Longitudinal Change in the BODE Index Predicts Mortality in Severe Emphysema

    American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine · 2008-06-05 · 125 citations

    articleOpen access

    RATIONALE: The predictive value of longitudinal change in BODE (Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise capacity) index has received limited attention. We hypothesized that decrease in a modified BODE (mBODE) would predict survival in National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) patients. OBJECTIVES: To determine how the mBODE score changes in patients with lung volume reduction surgery versus medical therapy and correlations with survival. METHODS: Clinical data were recorded u…

  • Anxiety is associated with diminished exercise performance and quality of life in severe emphysema: a cross-sectional study

    Respiratory Research · 2010-03-09 · 87 citations

    articleOpen access

    BACKGROUND: Anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with self-reported disability. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an association between anxiety and functional measures, quality of life and dyspnea. METHODS: Data from 1828 patients with moderate to severe emphysema enrolled in the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT), collected prior to rehabilitation and randomization, were used in linear regression models to test the…

  • Integrating Health Status and Survival Data: The Palliative Effect of Lung Volume Reduction Surgery

    American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine · 2009-05-29 · 34 citations

    articleOpen access

    RATIONALE: In studies that address health-related quality of life (QoL) and survival, subjects who die are usually censored from QoL assessments. This practice tends to inflate the apparent benefits of interventions with a high risk of mortality. Assessing a composite QoL-death outcome is a potential solution to this problem. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) on a composite endpoint consisting of the occurrence of death or a clinically meaningful decline…

  • Changes in Arterial Oxygenation and Self-Reported Oxygen Use after Lung Volume Reduction Surgery

    American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine · 2008-06-05 · 23 citations

    article

    RATIONALE: Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is inconsistently reported to improve arterial oxygenation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. OBJECTIVES: We studied the effects of surgery on oxygenation in a large cohort and identified predictors of postoperative oxygenation improvement. METHODS: We evaluated oxygenation in 1,078 subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease enrolled in the National Emphysema Treatment Trial after LVRS compared with medical control sub…

  • Survival in Patients with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension

    Annals of Internal Medicine · 2020 · 6 citations

    ▪ Objective: To characterize mortality in persons diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension and to investigate factors associated with survival. ▪ Design: Registry with prospective follow-up. ▪...
