We used linear mixed models with restricted maximum-likelihood estimation to assess potential time-varying associations of coarse and fine PM with sputum measurements, lung function, measures of HRV, proteins associated with plasma coagulation, hemostatic and inflammatory markers, and serum lipids.
To examine the associations of bisphenol A (BPA) exposure with lung function measures and exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children.
Lung function measures reflect the physiological state of the lung, and are essential to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Cox regression models were fit for outcomes using a time-varying covariate model for lung function measures and adjusting for patient and transplantation characteristics and nonlung chronic GVHD severity.
To compare objectively measured physical activity in 11- and 15-year-old children who were born preterm with term-born controls and related physical activity measures to lung function measures.
The objective of this study was to observe the relationship between (R)- and (S -albuterol levelS -albuterolunction measures, as welevelspotentiandextrapulungary adverse efunctionin presentations of acute disease exacerbation seen in a typical emeasures depastment setting.
The study was designed to observe the relationship between albuterol enantiomer levels and lung function measures and potential extrapulmonary adverse effects among patients presenting with exacerbation of asthma and COPD respectively.
It is unlikely that, in a clinical trial, a single measure will provide the best primary outcome and more methodological research is needed to identify whether longitudinal outcomes, such as rate of change in lung function measures, would be a more appropriate way of assessing lung growth.
Continuous lung function measures are summarized in Table 3.
Deterioration in lung function measures will also be used.
