Pulmonary Hypertension May Increase In-Hospital Mortality in Acute COPD Exacerbations
Pulmonary hypertension is associated with higher in-hospital mortality, morbidity, length of stay, and health care utilization in patients admitted to the hospital with an acute exacerbation of COPD.
Increased GERD Risk in End-Stage Lung Disease Without Esophageal Disease
End-stage lung disease may significantly increase the risk for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients undergoing lung transplant without primary esophageal disease.
Lung Involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Linked to Greater Inpatient Mortality
Lung involvement during hospitalization for systemic lupus erythematosus may be associated with greater inpatient mortality.
Bronchial Thermoplasty Improves Asthma Control, Reduces ICS Need
