1. Emphysema and smoking in patients with occupational exposure to asbestos: (Publication); Objective: To study the association between the smoking degree and the appearance of emphysema in patients with a history of asbestos exposure in our region. Material and methods: Patients included ...; Created on 26 September 2019
2. Large-scale external validation and comparison of prognostic models: an application to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: (Publication); Background: External validations and comparisons of prognostic models or scores are a prerequisite for their use in routine clinical care but are lacking in most medical fields including chronic obstructive ...; Created on 22 May 2018
3. Low-voltage chest CT: another way to reduce the radiation dose in asbestos-exposed patients: (Publication); AIM: To assess whether low voltage chest computed tomography (CT) can be used to successfully diagnose disease in patients with asbestos exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six former employees ...; Created on 22 May 2018
4. A new approach to categorising continuous variables in prediction models: Proposal and validation: (Publication); When developing prediction models for application in clinical practice, health practitioners usually categorise clinical variables that are continuous in nature. Although categorisation is not regarded ...; Created on 22 May 2018
5. A simple algorithm for the identification of clinical COPD phenotypes: (Publication); This study aimed to identify simple rules for allocating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients to clinical phenotypes identified by cluster analyses. Data from 2409 COPD patients of ...; Created on 22 May 2018
6. Comparison of two discrimination indexes in the categorisation of continuous predictors in time-to-event studies: (Publication); The Cox proportionalhazards model is the most widely used survival predictionmodel for analysing time-to-event data. To measure the discrimination ability of a survival model the concordance probability ...; Created on 18 September 2017
7. Prognostic assessment in COPD without lung function: The B-AE-D indices: (Publication); Several composite markers have been proposed for risk assessment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, choice of parameters and score complexity restrict clinical applicability. Our ...; Created on 07 November 2016
8. Mortality prediction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease comparing the GOLD 2007 and 2011 staging systems: a pooled analysis of individual patient data: (Publication); Background There is no universal consensus on the best staging system for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although documents (eg, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease ...; Created on 01 September 2017
9. Influence of Intravenous Nitrate Treatment on Early Mortality Among Patients With Acute Heart Failure. NITRO-EAHFE Study: (Publication); Introduction and objectives There is little evidence on the prognostic influence of intravenous nitrates in patients with acute heart failure. Our purpose was to determine the influence of this treatment ...; Created on 01 September 2017
10. Lung-function trajectories leading to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: (Publication); BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is thought to result from an accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) over time. Yet it is possible that a normal decline ...; Created on 01 September 2017
11. Seasonality, ambient temperatures and hospitalizations for acute exacerbation of COPD: a metropolitan area population-based study: (Publication); Background: Excluding the tropics, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are more frequent in winter. However, studies that directly relate hospitalizations for exacerbation of ...; Created on 01 September 2017
