COPD
Inappropriate Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate in the Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Korea
Seong Hwan Youn, Hyun Jung Kim, Jae Seok Park, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):458-464.   Published online April 25, 2024
Background: While inhalation therapy efficacy hinges on attaining proper peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR), the prevalence of inappropriate PIFR among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unstudied in Korea. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of inappropriate PIFR, its correlation with COPD assessment test (CAT) scores, and factors associated with suboptimal PIFR. Methods: We enrolled 108 patients with...

Eosinophilia Is a Favorable Marker for Pneumonia in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Kang-Mo Gu, Jae-Woo Jung, Min-Jong Kang, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):465-472.   Published online May 3, 2024
Background: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) expressing eosinophilia experience slightly fewer episodes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), than those without eosinophilia. However, the severity and burden of hospitalized pneumonia patients with COPD involving eosinophilia have not been assessed. Methods: We evaluated the differences in clinical characteristics between patients with CAP and COPD with or without eosinophilia by a post hoc...

Inhaled Corticosteroids and the Risk of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection in Chronic Airway Disease: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Eun Chong Yoon, Hyewon Lee, Hee-Young Yoon
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):473-482.   Published online June 5, 2024
Background: Chronic airway diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are increasingly being treated with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). However, ICSs carry potential infection risks, particularly nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). This study investigated the association between ICS use and NTM infection risk using national insurance data, particularly for individuals with chronic airway diseases. Methods: We conducted a nationwide population-based study...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Score Predicts Survival Benefit of Immunotherapy in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Da Hyun Kang, Chang-Min Choi, Cheol-Kyu Park, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):483-493.   Published online May 14, 2024
Background: The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with advanced lung cancer is increasing. Despite ongoing studies to predict the efficacy of ICIs, its use in clinical practice remains difficult. Thus, we aimed to discover a predictive marker by analyzing blood cell characteristics and developing a scoring system for patients treated with ICIs. Methods: This was a prospective multicenter...

UCHL1 Overexpression Is Related to the Aggressive Phenotype of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Chi Young Kim, Eun Hye Lee, Se Hyun Kwak, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):494-504.   Published online August 16, 2024
Background: Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1), which encodes thiol protease that hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine residue of ubiquitin, regulates cell differentiation, proliferation, transcriptional regulation, and numerous other biological processes and may be involved in lung cancer progression. UCHL1 is mainly expressed in the brain and plays a tumor-promoting role in a few cancer types; however, there...

Exploring the Association of Bacterial Coinfections with Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease
Seong Mi Moon, Hyunkyu Cho, Beomsu Shin
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):505-513.   Published online April 30, 2024
Background: Clinical data for bacterial coinfection of the lower respiratory tract in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) are scarce. This study aims to assess the prevalence of bacterial coinfection and clinical features in NTM-PD patients. Methods: This retrospective study screened 248 patients with NTM-PD who underwent bronchoscopy between July 2020 and July 2022, from whom newly diagnosed NTM-PD patients...

Prevalence and Characteristics of Tuberculosis in the Korean Homeless Population Based on Nationwide Tuberculosis Screening
Heesang Han, Ji-Hee Lee, Sung Jun Chung, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):514-523.   Published online May 3, 2024
Background: The government of Korea implemented a strategy of prevention and early diagnosis in high-risk groups to reduce the tuberculosis (TB) burden. This study aims to investigate the TB epidemiology and gap in understanding of TB prevalence among homeless individuals by analyzing active TB chest X-ray (CXR) screening results in Korea. Methods: The Korean National Tuberculosis Association conducted active TB screening...

Association between Age-Adjusted Endothelial Activation and Stress Index and Intensive Care Unit Mortality in Patients with Severe COVID-19
Jong Hwan Jeong, Manbong Heo, Sunghoon Park, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):524-531.   Published online July 24, 2024
Background: Endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) reflects endothelial dysfunction or damage. Because endothelial dysfunction is one of the key mechanisms, a few studies have shown the clinical usefulness of original and age-adjusted EASIX (age-EASIX) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of age-EASIX in predicting intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in critically...

Pulmonary Function, Functional Capacity, Respiratory, and Locomotor Muscle Strength after Severe to Critically Ill COVID-19: A Long-Term Study
Thanunya Ngamsutham, Warawut Chaiwong, Sauwaluk Dacha, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2024;87(4):532-542.   Published online August 14, 2024
Background: The sequelae of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia on lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life were observed in both shortterm and long-term. However, the study about the respiratory and locomotor muscle strength in severe and critically ill COVID-19 survivors are still limited. Therefore, we aimed to examine long-term pulmonary function, functional capacities, and respiratory and locomotor body...
