Background and aim The association of the gut microbiota to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotypes is underexplored. We aimed compare stool samples from patients with COPD subjects without relate findings emphysema status, exacerbation rate, blood eosinophil levels, symptom score, lung function.
Introduction Previous population-based studies, mainly from high-income countries, have shown that a higher forced vital capacity (FVC) is associated with lower risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases. The aim this study was to assess the longitudinal association between spirometry measures and onset diseases across sites in low-income, middle-income countries. Methods population comprised 5916 individuals 15 countries participating Burden Obstructive Lung Disease baseline follow-up...
<b>Introduction:</b> The gut microbiome in COPD patients may be associated with disease severity. We aimed to compare fecal samples and controls their associations leukocytes lung function. <b>Methods:</b> Single center case-control study 70 64 controls. sequenced the 16S-rRNA gene, V3V4-region (MiSeq), extracted from stool samples. Identification of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) was done QIIME2, statistical analyses were run QIIME2 R. Alpha diversity measured using Shannon Faith, groups...
