Can spirometric norms be set using pre- or post- bronchodilator test results in older people?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-16)Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined by post-bronchodilator spirometry. Data on “normal values” come predominantly from pre-bronchodilator spirometry. The effects of this on diagnosis are ... -
Comparing microbiota profiles in induced and spontaneous sputum samples in COPD patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-29)Background: Induced and spontaneous sputum are used to evaluate the airways microbiota. Whether the sputum types can be used interchangeably in microbiota research is unknown. Our aim was to compare microbiota in induced ... -
Comparison of inflammatory markers in induced and spontaneous sputum in a cohort of COPD patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-15)Background: Sputum induction is a non-invasive method for obtaining measurements of inflammation in the airways. Whether spontaneously sampled sputum can be a valid surrogate is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare ... -
DNAH5 is associated with total lung capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-20)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by expiratory flow limitation, causing air trapping and lung hyperinflation. Hyperinflation leads to reduced exercise tolerance and poor quality of ... -
Early life environment and snoring in adulthood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-08-22)Background: To our knowledge, no studies of the possible association of early life environment with snoring in adulthood have been published. We aimed to investigate whether early life environment is associated with snoring ... -
Genetic susceptibility for chronic bronchitis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-21)Background: Chronic bronchitis (CB) is one of the classic phenotypes of COPD. The aims of our study were to investigate genetic variants associated with COPD subjects with CB relative to smokers with normal spirometry, and ... -
Oral bacterial composition associated with lung function and lung inflammation in a community-based Norwegian population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background The oral cavity is the gateway to the bacteria community in the lung. Disruption of the symbiotic balance of the oral microbiota has been associated with respiratory diseases. However, little is known about ... -
TNF-α is associated with loss of lean body mass only in already cachectic COPD patients

X chromosome associations with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and related phenotypes: an X chromosome-wide association study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background The association between genetic variants on the X chromosome to risk of COPD has not been fully explored. We hypothesize that the X chromosome harbors variants important in determining risk of COPD related ...
