Great work by John Hurst and @uclrespiratory on subtyping and disease modelling in #COPD. Machine learning and radiographic biomarker evolution for detecting early COPD in smokers. atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Congrats to JHU faculty named as Highly Cited Researchers! Including Hopkins Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine faculty Dale Needham, MD, PhD !!

Excited to be able to contribute to the SGR particularly as tobacco consumption transitions globally. #COPD

It turns out knowing when to stop a study is trickier than it looks! Our amazing field teams in 🇳🇵 🇵🇪 🇺🇬 have worked incredibly hard, and for the first time we have reached our target of 3500 at all sites. We are just verifying the numbers before closing recruitment.. more soon!

Something non-covid with Trishul Siddharthan MD Johns Hopkins Medicine and Center for Global NCD Research and Training Does the high rate and unique risk factors of PRISm in low- and middle-income countries have something to teach us about the physiology of this highly prevalent pattern? bit.ly/2SsQjeG

Congrats!

We are excited to announce that our own Dr. Marlene Williams has been named as the new Clinical Director of Cardiology JohnsHopkinsBayview 👏🏻👏🏻 #WIC Johns Hopkins Medicine Hopkins Med News

Based on our experience with COVID-19 RCTs MassGeneral Medicine, Crystal North, MD MPH, Mike Dougan MGH Division of Gastroenterology and I share some thoughts in NEJM about the need to improve trial collaboration and enrollment across the US nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

COPD is difficult to diagnose in LMIC due to absence of spirometry . Our group has developed a simple questionnaire (#COLA) which can help identify COPD for initial treatment and further testing; Congrats #Trishul et al dovepress.com/front_end/cr_d…

Read findings from the #CHAPtrial, just published in #AJRCCM. Thank you GEOHealth Hub and Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) for the opportunity to conduct an RCT of an LPG #cleancookstove intervention and follow year-long environmental exposures and health outcomes. bit.ly/383Zk5W

So honored to receive this award and beyond excited for my Patricia Sime, MD lab-mate Maggie Freeberg, PhD to get it as well!!! Now time to get to work 💪 VCU PCCM Fellowship VCU Health

The bottom line is that the three simple screening tools we assessed -CAPTURE, COLA and LFQ- had similar performance, detecting clinically significant and previously undiagnosed COPD in three diverse LMIC settings. The prevalence of COPD varied by site from 3-18%. Summary 👀🔽

This has been five years work by a great many people. Special thanks to Medical Research Council for funding via Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), all our investigators and field teams, the steering committee, our partners in N P U and not least the trial participants. Write up led by Trishul Siddharthan MD and Suzy Pollard.
