This study aimed to assess the utilization trends of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) among lung cancer patients in Korea using National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database (2017 2021). PR was introduced and covered under NHIS 2016, primarily for chronic obstructive disease, but recent evidence suggests its benefits patients. Data extraction based on Informative Classification Diseases 8th revision codes C33 C34, with prescriptions identified by MM440 MM290. Descriptive statistical...
Background: In patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), decreased oxygen saturation (SpO2) reduces physical performance and causes exertional dyspnea. Portable concentrator (POC) pursed-lip breathing (PLB) have the potential to improve these parameters in ILD patients. Objective: To evaluate effects of PLB while using a POC during walking Design: Prospective, randomized crossover trial. Methods: We compared two techniques. Participants not trained received familiarization session...
Background: Impulse oscillometry (IOS); one of the forced oscillation techniques that is a good method for measuring airway resistance without any special breathing skill. This might reflect different aspects obstruction compared to conventional spirometry. Object: To evaluate characteristics young asthmatics after exercise bronchial provocation test (EBT) using IOS technique Methods: 47 adults who were recruited Korean military service enrolled. All them underwent methacholine (MBPT) and...
