<b>Diagnostic Accuracy of the Respiratory Index of Severity in Children (RISC) Score for Mortality Prediction and Severity Assessment in Community-Acquired Pneumonia Among 1–5-Year-Olds</b> Open
Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five years, particularly in resource-limited settings. The absence of simple, validated tools for early severity assessment contri…

Seeing is believing—on the utility of CT in phenotyping chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Open
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous condition with complicated structural and functional impairments. For decades now, chest CT has been used to quantify various abnormalities related to COPD. More recently, wit…

Deep Learning Estimation of Small Airways Disease from Inspiratory Chest CT is Associated with FEV<sub>1</sub>Decline in COPD Open
Rationale Quantifying functional small airways disease (fSAD) requires additional expiratory computed tomography (CT) scan, limiting clinical applicability. Artificial intelligence (AI) could enable fSAD quantification from chest CT scan a…
