Mortality Associated With Occupational Exposure in Helsinki, Finland—A 24-Year Follow-up Open
Objectives Our objective was to study mortality related to different obstructive lung diseases, occupational exposure, and their potential joint effect in a large, randomized population-based cohort. Methods We divided the participants bas…

The combined effect of exposures to vapours, gases, dusts, fumes and tobacco smoke on current asthma Open
Smoking, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and occupational exposure to vapours, gases, dusts or fumes (VGDF) increase asthma symptoms. The impact of combined exposure is less well established. We aimed to evaluate the risk of …

Self-Reported Physician Diagnosed Asthma with COPD is Associated with Higher Mortality than Self-Reported Asthma or COPD Alone – A Prospective 24-Year Study in the Population of Helsinki, Finland Open
Asthma and COPD are common chronic obstructive respiratory diseases. COPD is associated with increased mortality, but for asthma the results are varying. Their combination has been less investigated, and the results are contradictory. The …

P53 Combined exposure to vapors, gases, dusts, fumes and tobacco smoke increases the risk of asthma symptoms especially in adult-diagnosed asthma Open
Background Smoking and occupational airborne exposures are known to increase asthma symptoms, but less is known about their influence by the age of asthma diagnosis. Objective To evaluate the effect of exposures to VGDF (vapors, gases, dus…

P54 Combined exposure to vapors, gases, dusts, fumes and tobacco smoke increases the risk of asthma symptoms Open
Background Occupational exposure to vapors, gases, dusts and fumes (VGDF) is known to increase the prevalence of asthma symptoms. Less is known about the prevalence of asthma symptoms if VGDF exposure is combined to smoking or environmenta…

Inspiratory Flow Parameters Through Dry Powder Inhalers in Healthy Volunteers and Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Device Resistance Does Not Limit Use in COPD Open
The respiratory performance of patients with COPD does not appear to be a limiting factor in the use of Easyhaler.

Assessment of Ventilation and Perfusion in Patients with COVID-19 Discloses Unique Information of Pulmonary Function to a Clinician: Case Reports of V/P SPECT Open
V/P SPECT from 4 consecutive patients with COVID-19 suggests that ventilation and perfusion images may be applied to diagnose or exclude pulmonary embolism, verify nonsegmental diversion of perfusion from the ventilated areas (dead space v…
View article: Asthma Remission by Age at Diagnosis and Gender in a Population-Based Study
Asthma Remission by Age at Diagnosis and Gender in a Population-Based Study Open
Remission was rare in adults diagnosed with asthma after age 40 years in both genders. Late-diagnosed asthma was the most significant independent risk factor for nonremission.

Differences in diagnostic patterns of obstructive airway disease between areas and sex in Sweden and Finland - the Nordic EpiLung study Open
The prevalence of respiratory symptoms and corresponding diagnoses varied between and within the countries. The proportion reporting a diagnosis of obstructive airway disease among individuals with respiratory symptoms varied, indicating d…

Development of self-assessed work ability among middle-aged asthma patients—a 10 year follow-up study Open
The prevalence of asthma has been growing among working age people over the last decades. In this study, we examine the development of Work Ability Score (WAS) among middle-aged asthmatics in a longitudinal setting, in order to find risk f…

EANM guideline for ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and beyond Open
These guidelines update the previous EANM 2009 guidelines on the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). Relevant new aspects are related to (a) quantification of PE and other ventilation/perfusion defects; (b) follow-up of patients with PE;…

Consistency and reliability of smoking-related variables: longitudinal study design in asthma and COPD Open
Introduction: Smoking has a significant impact on the development and progression of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Self-reported questionnaires and structured interviews are usually the only way to study patients…

Identifying the heterogeneity of COPD by V/P SPECT: a new tool for improving the diagnosis of parenchymal defects and grading the severity of small airways disease Open
V/P SPECT, using Technegas as the functional ventilation imaging agent, is a new tool to diagnose COPD and to grade its severity. Additionally, it revealed heterogeneity of COPD caused by pulmonary comorbidities. The characteristics of the…

GOLD criteria overestimate airflow limitation in one-third of cases in the general Finnish population Open
The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) diagnostic criteria for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) use a fixed threshold of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 )/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio (<0.…

Prevalence of abnormal findings when adopting new national and international Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for spirometry in the Finnish general population Open
The application of the GLI2012 reference values underestimates the prevalence of abnormal spirometric findings in native Finns. The adoption of the Kainu2015 reference values reduces the prevalences of airways obstruction, decreased ventil…
