Artificial Intelligence May Better Detect Sleep Apnea
Machine learning algorithms—also known as artificial intelligence (AI)—can better detect sleep apnea compared with traditional linear approaches, according to a study being presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2019.
Oxygen Therapy Is Associated with Poor Patient-Reported Outcomes in COPD and IPF
The need for home oxygen use is associated with worse patient-reported outcomes in those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), according to research being presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2019.
Mepolizumab Reduces Exacerbations in Patients With Asthma
A study being presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2019 found that mepolizumab reduced exacerbations in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, regardless of baseline oral corticosteroid (OCS) use.
Bronchodilator Testing May Better Diagnose Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome
A study being presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2019 found that routine use of post-bronchodilator spirometry values prevents the overdiagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and better identifies patients with asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS).
