In patients with a history suggestive of asthma, diagnosis is usually confirmed by spirometry bronchodilator response (BDR) or confirmatory methacholine challenge testing (MCT).We examined the proportion participants negative BDR who had positive MCT (and its predictors) result and characteristics MCT, including effects controller medication tapering temporal variability predictors change), concordance between pulmonologist asthma diagnosis.Adults self-reported physician-diagnosed were...

The past two decades has seen a substantial rise in the use of opioids for chronic pain, along with opioid-related mortality and adverse effects. A contributor to opioid-associated is high prevalence moderate/severe sleep-disordered breathing, including central sleep apnea obstructive apnea, patients pain. Although evidence-based treatments are available not frequently assessed breathing pain clinics. To aid healthcare providers this area clinical uncertainty, we present evidence on...
There is an increased risk of sleep apnea in patients using opioids for chronic pain. We hypothesized that a simple model comprizing of: (1) STOP-Bang questionnaire and resting daytime oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2); (2) overnight oximetry will identify those at moderate-to-severe with pain.Adults on pain were recruited from clinics. Participants completed the questionnaire, SpO2, in-laboratory polysomnography. Overnight was performed home to derive Oxygen Desaturation Index. A score ≥3 or...
