Abstract:
COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Its diagnosis can be made with spirometry, which is underused due to its limited accessibility. Portable spirometry holds promise for enhancing the efficacy of COPD diagnoses. The study aimed to estimate COPD prevalence diagnosed with a portable spirometer in high-risk patients and compare it with COPD prevalence based on data from conventional, on-site spirometry. We also evaluated the strategy of a proactive approach to identify COPD in high-risk individuals. We conducted a systematic review of original studies on COPD targeted screening and diagnosis with portable and conventional spirometers selected from 8496 publications initially found in three databases: Cochrane, PubMed, and Embase. The inclusion criteria were met by 28 studies. COPD prevalence evaluated with the use of portable spirometers reached 20.27% and was lower compared to that estimated with the use of conventional spirometers (24.67%). In 11 included studies, postbronchodilator tests were performed with portable spirometers, which enabled a bedside COPD diagnosis. Portable spirometers can be successfully used in COPD targeted screening and diagnosis and thus enhance the detection of COPD at early stages.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Modern spirometry, like no other monitoring technique, allows insight into breath-to-breath respiratory mechanics. Spirometers continuously measure volume, airway pressure, and flow while calculating and continuously displaying respiratory system compliance and resistance in the form of loops. The aim of this case series is to show how observation of spirometric loops, similar to electrocardiogram or CO2 curve monitoring, can improve safety of anesthetic management in small animals. Spirometric monitoring cases described in this case series are based on use of the anaesthesia monitor Capnomac Ultima with a side stream spirometry sensor. The cases illustrate how recognition and understanding of spirometric loops allows for easy diagnosis of iatrogenic pneumothorax, incorrect ventilator settings, leaks in the system, kinked or partially obstructed endotracheal tube, and spontaneous breathing interfering with intermittent positive-pressure ventilation. The case series demonstrates the potential of spirometry to improve the quality and safety of anesthetic management, and, hence, its use can be recommended during intermittent positive-pressure ventilation and procedures in which interference with ventilation can be expected.

Abstract:
175 years have elapsed since John Hutchinson introduced the world to his version of an apparatus that had been in development for nearly two centuries, the spirometer. Though he was not the first to build a device that sought to measure breathing and quantify the impact of disease and occupation on lung function, Hutchison coined the terms spirometer and vital capacity that are still in use today, securing his place in medical history. As Hutchinson envisioned, spirometry would become crucial to our growing knowledge of respiratory pathophysiology, from Tiffeneau and Pinelli's work on forced expiratory volumes, to Fry and Hyatt's description of the flow–volume curve. In the 20th century, standardization of spirometry further broadened its reach and prognostic potential. Today, spirometry is recognized as essential to respiratory disease diagnosis, management and research. However, controversy exists in some of its applications, uptake in primary care remains sub-optimal and there are concerns related to the way in which race is factored into interpretation. Moving forward, these failings must be addressed, and innovations like Internet-enabled portable spirometers may present novel opportunities. We must also consider the physiologic and practical limitations inherent to spirometry and further investigate complementary technologies such as respiratory oscillometry and other emerging technologies that assess lung function. Through an exploration of the storied history of spirometry, we can better contextualize its current landscape and appreciate the trends that have repeatedly arisen over time. This may help to improve our current use of spirometry and may allow us to anticipate the obstacles confronting emerging pulmonary function technologies.

Abstract:
Background: Six minute walk test (6MWT) is a sub-maximal exercise test, used as a clinical indicator of the functional capacity, in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. It is simple, objective and reproducible test. The present study was designed to assess correlation of six minute walk test with spirometry parameters, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods: In this cross sectional study, fifty patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (GOLD criteria) coming to tertiary center were recruited according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients underwent spirometric measurement. Spirometric indices including FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and MVV were tested using computerized spirometer. 6MWT was performed following American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. Percent (%) predicted 6MWD was calculated. Correlation between spirometry and 6MWT was assessed.Results: It was found that correlation between 6MWT and spirometry is statistically significant. There is significant strong positive correlation between percent predicted 6MWD and FEV1 (r=0.850 and p= <0.001), whereas there is significant moderate correlation between percent predicted 6MWD and FVC (r=0.554 and p= <0.001), FEV1/FVC (r=0.509 and p= <0.001) and MVV (r=0.615 and p= <0.001).Conclusions: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, percent predicted 6mwd significantly correlated with the spirometry parameters (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and MVV). 6MWD decreases as there is decline in the pulmonary function. 6MWT can be a useful replacement of spirometry in assessment of severity of COPD.

Abstract:
AbstractBackground:A subjective feeling of nasal airflow obstruction is a common symptom. An objective method for quantitative measurement of nasal airflow has long been desired. Rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry have been developed for anatomical and physiological evaluation of nasal obstruction. This study was designed to determine the usefulness of a portable spirometer in assessing upper airway obstruction.Methods:One hundred and ninety-six patients were assessed with nasal inspiratory spirometry to determine nasal airflow. All patients also underwent paranasal sinus computed tomography to determine anatomical abnormalities. Spirometry was performed on each nostril separately.Results:Sensitivity and specificity levels were high. This portable and easy to use device may be useful in respiratory assessment. Correlation between anatomical obstructions and subjects' complaints was statistically significant (p < 0.001), but no definite correlation between septal deviation severity and spirometric values was found.Conclusion:Portable spirometry is an objective and useful method of evaluating nasal obstruction, but needs more investigation to establish a standardised test.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Spirometry is a method of studying the function of external respiration, which is widely used for the diagnosis of various bronchial obstructive diseases. This diagnostic method was included in the list of studies required for the second stage of medical examination of the adult population for the purpose of additional examination and clarification of the diagnosis. The correct organization of the study increases its effectiveness: it affects the quality of the conduct, on the result of which early diagnosis and timely appointment of treatment depends on the detection of bronchopulmonary disease. AIM: To evaluate the organization of spirometry during the second stage of medical examination in real practice in outpatient medical organizations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 9 polyclinics selected randomly from the list of polyclinics and polyclinic departments in St. Petersburg, which participated in the medical examination of the adult population in 2020 (n = 97). The evaluation of the process of conducting a spirometric study, as well as the analysis of the dispensary records of patients who underwent spirometry, were carried out according to pre-developed checklists. RESULTS: Among the medical organizations that took part in the study (n = 9), only in one polyclinic the prevention department was equipped with a spirometer. Employees of only four polyclinics (50%) had a certificate of training in spirometry or functional diagnostics. As part of the second stage of medical examination of the adult population, 251 spirometric studies were conducted, although there should have been much more, since the smoking factor in these polyclinics was established in 10,829 people according to the reporting form 131 Information on the medical examination of certain groups of the adult population for 2020. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained indicate a low efficiency of the organization of the spirometry procedure.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify respiratory symptoms and evaluate lung function in mine workers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study involving production sector workers of a pyrochlore mining company. The subjects completed the British Medical Research Council questionnaire, which is designed to evaluate respiratory symptoms, occupational exposure factors, and smoking status. In addition, they underwent pulmonary function tests with a portable spirometer. Results: The study involved 147 workers (all male). The mean age was 41.37 ± 8.71 years, and the mean duration of occupational exposure was 12.26 ± 7.09 years. We found that 33 (22.44%) of the workers had respiratory symptoms and that 26 (17.69%) showed abnormalities in the spirometry results. However, we found that the spirometry results did not correlate significantly with the presence of respiratory symptoms or with the duration of occupational exposure. Conclusions: The frequencies of respiratory symptoms and spirometric changes were low when compared with those reported in other studies involving occupational exposure to dust. No significant associations were observed between respiratory symptoms and spirometry results.

Abstract:
Background: Spirometry is an important diagnostic monitoring tool for various lung disorders. Ventilatory function can be assessed by spirometry. Also, we can find whether it is obstructive or restrictive disease. An appropriate technique is essential to ensure accurate results. Spirometry requires proper understanding and cooperation of the patient while doing the test. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and utility of spirometry data in elderly (>65years) individuals with or without lung diseases.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out among 199 subjects who were then divided into 100 controls and 99 cases. Spirometry was carried out among all subjects. The values of spirometry were compared among cases and controls as well as across age and sex groups. Student’s t-test was applied.Results: After studying the spirometric data in elderly population with or without lung disease, there was significant difference between cases and controls as far as pack years of smoking was concerned. There was significant difference in FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC between the cases and controls. As the age increased the spirometric values decreased. The spirometry was normal in controls in majority compared to none in cases.Conclusions: Spirometry should be used by all primary care and specialist physicians even in elderly population.

Abstract:
Background: Asthma is a disease that has become increasingly common over the last century making it now one of the commonest chronic disorders in the world. Spirometric lung function tests are playing a key role in the diagnosis and management of asthma in children. Considering the usefulness of spirometer in the diagnosis of asthma and scarcity of the literature regarding the role of spirometer in the diagnosis of Asthma especially in Indian context, the present study was undertaken to assess pulmonary function test changes in asthmatic child using spirometry and its diagnostic and prognostic value.Methods: The present study was conducted at Department of Paediatrics, Ashwini Rural Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Kumbhari during the study period of 2015 to 2016. Children presenting symptoms suggestive of asthma were included in the study.Results: In the present study, the commonest presentations included cough, breathing difficulty and recurrent wheeze in all the children (100%) followed by chest tightness (23%) and fever (11%). In the present study, the clinical and spirometry diagnosis of moderate asthma showed total positive correlation (100%). The positive correlation of mild persistent and intermittent asthma was limited to 97.30% and 91.18%. Severe persistent asthma positively correlated in 76.77%.Conclusions: It may be concluded that, the spirometry is not only helps to diagnose the asthma accurately, but also helps in assessing the severity which has the key role in the successful management.

Abstract:
La ventilation est une fonction complexe, avec des variabilités naturelles intra- et inter-individuelles imprévisibles, parfois inhomogènes dans le volume pulmonaire. La spirométrie standard est l'examen de référence pour évaluer la fonction ventilatoire à partir de courbes débit-volume mesurées à la bouche et en respiration forcée. Cette technique simple et fiable est limité par la nécessaire coopération du patient, ainsi que par la nature globale de sa mesure. Étant donné que la respiration est intrinsèquement un phénomène tridimensionnel et que les maladies pulmonaires sont généralement régionales, la ventilation devrait être sondée localement. Malgré les difficultés inhérentes à l'application de l'IRM au poumon, de récent progrès ont permis de révéler le potentiel de l'IRM fonctionnelle pulmonaire à partir d'acquisitions standards facilement transposables en clinique. Depuis une quinzaine d'années des développements évaluent la ventilation à partir de la variation du signal IRM au cours de la respiration. Ces techniques reposent sur une hypothèse forte de linéarité du signal IRM avec la densité de tissus pulmonaire. Une nouvelle méthode évaluant la ventilation localement et dynamiquement à partir des déformations a été développée : la spirométrie 3D par IRM. A partir d'un cycle respiratoire moyen, le Jacobien des déformations et sa dérivée temporelle permettent d'inférer les courbes débit-volume locales. Cette thèse s'attache à valider la spirométrie 3D par IRM, à l'amener à la recherche clinique, et à approfondir la compréhension de la mécanique ventilatoire. Le caractère multidimensionnel de la spirométrie 3D par IRM intègre la complexité de la fonction respiratoire mais la technique encore neuve doit être développée et éprouvée. Les évolutions méthodologiques entreprises durant cette thèse incluent une reconstruction optimisée de la dynamique pulmonaire, une segmentation précise des structures lobaires, la définition de biomarqueurs quantitatifs, ainsi qu'une normalisation des cartes fonctionnelles pour permettre des comparaison intra- et inter-sujets. Une étude prospective sur 25 volontaires (10 femmes, 45 ± 17 ans) respirant librement a été menée, avec des acquisitions répétées en position allongée. La fiabilité de la technique a été approchée selon deux critères : sa répétabilité et son exactitude. Les mesures de volumes courants locaux intégrés sur le volume pulmonaire correspondent à ce qui peut être mesuré par segmentation des volumes pulmonaires. Une excellente répétabilité globale a été trouvée, avec une variabilité résiduelle induite par celle intrinsèque à la respiration.La sensibilité de la spirométrie 3D par IRM a été d'abord étudiée sur 25 volontaires sains en position allongée sur le dos puis sur le ventre. Les cartes fonctionnelles mettent en évidence un gradient de ventilation vers les régions les plus dépendantes à la gravité, démontrant la sensibilité de la technique à la physiologie. Des atlas fonctionnels ont été établis à partir des cartes individuelles normalisées, révélant les motifs nominaux de la ventilation pulmonaire reproductibles sur la cohorte de volontaire. Les distributions spatiales mettent en évidence l'inhomogénéité de la ventilation en respiration libre.Enfin, la sensibilité de la spirométrie 3D aux pathologies obstructives et restrictives est évaluée à travers plusieurs études de cas de maladies neuromusculaires, COVID-19 longue durée, asthme et bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO). Ces recherches soulignent l'importance de caractériser les modes de respiration avec les contributions des muscles respiratoires. La réversibilité de l'asthme à l'administration d'un bronchodilatateur a été trouvé, avec une augmentation marquée des débits après bronchodilatateurs. Une étude longitudinale sur un cas d'asthme sévère a aussi mis en évidence l'efficacité de la biothérapie pour améliorer la fonction ventilatoire, réduisant le volume résiduel ainsi que l'obstruction
Ventilation is a complex function, with unpredictable natural intra- and inter-individual variabilities, sometimes heterogeneous in lung volume. Standard spirometry is the reference exam to assess the ventilatory function from flow-volume loops measured at the mouth during forced expiration. This simple and reliable technique is limited by the necessary cooperation of the patient, as well as by the global nature of its measurement. Since breathing is inherently a three-dimensional phenomenon and lung diseases are generally regional, ventilation should be probed locally.Despite the inherent difficulties in applying MRI to the lung, recent advancements have revealed the potential of functional pulmonary MRI from easily translatable standard acquisitions in clinical settings. Over the past fifteen years, developments have evaluated ventilation based on MRI signal variation during respiration. These techniques rely on a strong assumption of linearity of the MRI signal with lung tissue density. A new method evaluating ventilation locally and dynamically from deformations has been developed: 3D spirometry by MRI. From an average respiratory cycle, the deformation Jacobian and its temporal derivative allow inference of local flow-volume curves. This thesis aims to validate 3D spirometry by MRI, bring it into clinical research, and deepen the understanding of ventilatory mechanics.The multidimensional nature of 3D spirometry by MRI integrates the complexity of respiratory function, but the new technique must still be developed and tested. Methodological developments undertaken during this thesis include optimized reconstruction of pulmonary dynamics, precise segmentation of lobar structures, definition of quantitative biomarkers, as well as normalization of functional maps to enable intra- and inter-subject comparisons. A prospective study on 25 volunteers (10 females, 45 ± 17 years old) breathing freely was conducted, with repeated acquisitions in the supine position. The reliability of the technique was approached by two criteria: its repeatability and accuracy. Measures of local tidal volumes integrated over the lung volume agreed to the measured lung volumes from segmentation. Excellent overall repeatability was found, with residual variability induced by that intrinsic to respiration.The sensitivity of 3D MR spirometry was first studied in 25 healthy volunteers in lying supine and prone positions. Functional maps highlight a gradient of ventilation toward the more gravity-dependent regions, demonstrating the sensitivity of the technique to physiology. Functional atlases were established from normalized individual maps, revealing reproducible nominal patterns of pulmonary ventilation across the volunteer cohort. Spatial distributions highlight the heterogeneity of ventilation during free breathing.Finally, the sensitivity of 3D MR spirometry to obstructive and restrictive pathologies is evaluated through several case studies of neuromuscular diseases, long COVID-19, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These studies emphasize the importance of characterizing breathing patterns with contributions from respiratory muscles. Reversibility of asthma with bronchodilator administration was found, with a marked increase in flow rates after bronchodilators. A longitudinal study on a case of severe asthma also demonstrated the effectiveness of biotherapy in improving ventilatory function and reducing residual volume and obstruction

Abstract:
Background Children with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) have progressive loss of muscle strength and function which can lead to respiratory failure. Postural change in spirometry has been previously used in adult patients to detect diaphragmatic dysfunction, sleep disordered breathing and early respiratory failure. Postural spirometry changes in children with NMD have been advocated in guidelines for the assessment of NMD but not extensively studied. Aim To explore the relationship between postural changes in forced vital capacity [FVC] and polysomnography (PSG) in the assessment of early sleep disordered breathing in children with NMD. Method In this prospective cross sectional study, children with NMD from neurogenetic and respiratory clinics performed spirometry in sitting (si) and supine (su) position. Control group consisting of age and gender matched healthy children also underwent lung function testing. PSG was performed within 6 months of spirometry. Spirometry was acceptable according to ATS standards and PSGs scored according to AASM guidelines. Results Of 40 children with NMD who performed spirometry, 30 were able to perform acceptable supine spirometry. Underlying diagnoses were heterogeneous, with majority having Duchenne Muscular dystrophy (n=17). Mean age was 12.3 years (range 8 to 17yrs,SD ±3) with 21 males and 9 females. Mean FEV1sit and FVCsit were 78% (SD ±22) and 75%(SD±20.4) respectively. SpO2 mean 96% [92 to 98%] and SpO2 nadir was 87% (84 to 96%). Mean% ΔFVC (sit – sup) in these children was 9% (range +6 to -28%,SD±11). When compared with control group, there was a significant difference in supine spirometry between the two groups (p<0.001). PSG data was available on 30 children with NMD. Mean total AHI 6.9/hr (0.3 to 29,±5.9), obstructive AHI 5.2/hr (0.2 to 10), REM AHI 14.3/hr (0.1 to 34.7). On comparing supine spirometry with Total AHI, there was a moderate correlation with with presence of sleep disordered breathing (r=0.62, p=0.001) in those breathing spontaneously. Children established on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) showed a poor correlation with supine spirometry. In order to demonstrate the relationship of supine spirometry with evidence of hypoventilation, correlation was performed between change in postural spirometry and rise in CO2 from non-Rem to REM sleep. The mean (SD) rise was 6mmHg (±1.9) with a range of 4 mmHg to 11 mmHg. Coefficient of correlation was 0.04 (p=0.8) and therefore was not significant. When the NMD group was split between those spontaneously breathing and those established on NIV, there was a poor correlation between supine spirometry and rise in CO2 in both the groups spontaneously breathing (r=0.02,p=0.9) NIV (r=0.13,p=0.74) Conclusion In this cohort study, children with NMD with mild restrictive lung disease have postural changes in spirometry which are significantly greater than healthy controls. The changes in supine spirometry however do not correlate with nocturnal hypoventilation on polysomnography in patients with mild neuromuscular disease

Abstract:
At least 11 million Americans are diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and there is a high likelihood millions more suffer from the disease but are undiagnosed. Spirometry is a medical test to determine how well a patient’s lungs work, and is used to diagnosis COPD. Despite this test’s utility, resident providers may be uneducated about or uncomfortable with administering spirometry. Past research has demonstrated that brief educational interventions can lead to clinically significant improvements in knowledge of spirometry. The purpose of this study is to compare family medicine residents’ responses regarding the use of spirometry in a rural Family Medicine Residency clinic before and after an educational program on the topic. Researchers will administer a survey to resident physicians at the Family Physicians of Bristol clinic about their knowledge regarding spirometry; residents will then be resurveyed after an educational program. It is expected that resident providers will show significant gains in their knowledge of spirometry after the completion of the educational program. Results of this project will be useful in identifying methods to increase medical providers’ awareness and comfort with spirometry, which will hopefully lead to increased accurate diagnosis of airway diseases.

Abstract:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and requires close monitoring and follow up to prevent exacerbations that lead to hospitalizations (CDC, 2015). COPD is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed for asthma and also under-treated because providers are not utilizing the recommended diagnostic tool, spirometry, for patients who present with chronic respiratory symptoms (Decramer et al., 2015). The purpose of this study is to assess perceived barriers to spirometry use among primary care providers (PCP) including nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) within Arizona. The aim of this project is to assess for commonalities in barriers and determine practice and educational implications and areas for future research to increase knowledge about the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Guidelines so that spirometry is performed more frequently. A survey was administered to PCPs (NPs and PAs) in Arizona through medical professional organizations. Basic demographic data was collected, in addition to questions assessing practice assessment, perceived barriers to spirometry, and utilization of smoking cessation methods and COPD prevention methods. A total of 47 responses were used for the data analysis. Females accounted for 87% (n=41) of the total sample size, and males accounted for 13% (n=6). There were 89% (n=42) NPs and 11% (n=5) PAs. Only 53% (n=25) stated that they have access to a spirometer and 47% (n=22) stated they did not have access to the tool. The most common barriers to spirometry use were concerns about testing quality and accuracy (28%, n=13), cost of the tool (23%, n=11), uncertainty about interpretation (21%, n=10), and unfamiliarity (21%, n=10). Other causes include concerns for reimbursement (11%, n=6), not enough time with patient (11%, n=5), preference to send for pulmonary function tests (11%, n=5), and lastly uncertain about impact of results on clinical practice (6%, n=3). In conclusion, the results call for further practice and educational interventions to mitigate these barriers and provide better support to providers who care for those with chronic respiratory symptoms. Further research into this issue can help lead to interventions and increase knowledge about the GOLD guidelines to improve patient outcomes.

This work presents spirometric measurements on a group of volunteers. First of all the physiology of respiration is explained. Further the theory necessary for measurement and analysis of respiration parameters is mentioned. A separate chapter contains information about ventilation disorders with focus on obstructive diseases. The measurement methodology is described in the analysis section. The program developed for automatic spirometric signal analysis is described in the next section. Parameters obtained from the program are statistically analysed and compared for physiological and obstructive state. Changes, which the individual parameters represent in relation to the simulated obstruction, are discussed. The appendix section contains a report to be used for laboratory lessons together with the developed program.

Abstract:
This thesis is the first to demonstrate the most appropriate spirometry and FeNO reference values for use amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young adults. Availability of this data will lead to improved accuracy of spirometry and FeNO interpretation which will aid in more timely diagnosis and management of respiratory conditions for this population. Results from this study also suggest that healthy Australian Indigenous lung function data may not be as low as previously reported in earlier studies.

Abstract:
Medical certification of workers for respirator use is an important activity of occupational medicine health professionals. Spirometry is a diagnostic tool to evaluate respiratory distress/insufficiency that may affect respirator use. In this study, we analyzed the pulmonary function data of 337 workers from different occupations which required medical evaluation to wear a respirator. The American Thoracic Society and National Fire Protection Association criteria were used to evaluate employees. Of 337 workers who were cleared for respiratory use on the basis of medical questionnaires for respirator compliance, 14 (4.15%) failed to pass respirator compliance on the basis of NFPA criteria and 5 (1.48%) failed to pass respirator compliance criteria on the basis of ATS criteria. We compared the use of different Spirometric equations to evaluate these criteria and we found the Crapo equation cleared more workers for respirator use as compared to the Knudson and NHANES III equations. We also measured repeated Forced Expiratory Volume in 1st Second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and compared the results longitudinally over time. Age was the only significant factor affecting the reduction in the lung function in longitudinal analysis. Longitudinal spirometry results suggested that workers were protected while using a respirator in the workplace, but age is the significant factor in reducing their lung function. As some workers were able to qualify for respirator use based on questionnaire alone but failed respirator clearance subsequent to pulmonary function testing, it is recommended that spirometry be used to evaluate clearance for all workers who will use a respirator in the workplace. As well, using different Spirometric equations can affect the outcome on passing or failing clearance for respirator use, and this should be considered in a respiratory medical certification program.

Abstract:
The overall aim of this thesis was to describe subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from different perspectives. Focus was on patients at the time of diagnosis, impact of the disease in comparison to other chronic diseases, factors associated with good health and quality of life (QoL), and diagnostic spirometry in clinical practice. Methods: Qualitative method, grounded theory, was used to analyse patients´ perspectives at the time of diagnosis in a primary care setting (n=10). Public health surveys in the general population were used to compare chronic diseases (n=10,755) and analyse factors associated with health outcomes in COPD (n=1,475). Medical records and spirometry reports, from primary and secondary care, were analysed to assess diagnosis of COPD in clinical practice (n=533). Results: In clinical practice, 70% of patients at the time of diagnosis of COPD lacked spirometry results confirming the diagnosis. Factors related to consequences of smoking, shame and restrictions in physical activity (PA) in particular, were described by patients at the time of diagnosis of COPD. In general subjects with COPD (84%), rheumatoid arthritis (74%) and diabetes mellitus (72%) had an activity level considered too low to maintain good health. In COPD, the most important factor associated with good health and quality of life was a high level of PA. Odds ratios (OR (95%CI)) varied from 1.90 (1.47-2.44) to 7.57 (4.57-12.55) depending on the degree of PA, where subjects with the highest PA level had the best health and QoL. Conclusions: Subjects with COPD need to be diagnosed at an early stage, and health professionals should be aware that feelings of shame could delay patients from seeking care and thus obtaining a diagnosis. The use of spirometry and the diagnostic quality should be emphasised. In patients with COPD greater attention should be directed on increasing the physical activity level, as patients with a low level of physical activity display worse health and quality of life.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and progressive airflow obstruction documented on spirometry. Acupuncture, as a safe and economical non-pharmacology therapy, has pronounced therapeutic effects in COPD patients. Several systematic reviews draw the conclusion that acupuncture could improve patients’ quality of life, exercise capacity and dyspnoea, however, the results about lung function were inconclusive. Recently, increasing number of animal studies has been published to illustrate the effects of acupuncture in improving lung function in COPD animal model. However, the efficacy of acupuncture for experimentally induced COPD have not been systematically investigated yet. A systematic review of animal experiments can benefit future experimental designs, promote the conduct and report of basic researches and provide some guidance to translate the achievements of basic researches to clinical application in acupuncture for COPD. Therefore, we will conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate effects of acupuncture on COPD animal model.
