   Sammanfattning : It is well known that patients with COPD have an increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, but less is known about the association with other infections. The aim of this thesis was to explore epidemiological aspects of severe infections in COPD, using public registries in Sweden. LÄS MER

3. 2. Host-Virus Interactions in Asthma and COPD

   Författare :Cristopher McCrae; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; COPD; Exacerbation; Virus; Interferon;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with periods of worsened symptoms, known as exacerbations. Severe exac-erbations can result in hospitalisation, irreversible decline of the disease and sometimes death. Thus, exacerbations are a major cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost.

4. 3. Swallowing Dysfunction in Respiratory Diseases : Prevalence and risk factors in COPD and COVID-19

   Författare :Margareta Gonzalez Lindh; Hirsh Koyi; Margareta Jennische; Monica Blom Johansson; Bonnie Martin-Harris; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :swallowing dysfunction; dysphagia; COPD; dyspnoea; COVID-19; invasive mechanical ventilation; Rehabilitation Medicine; Rehabiliteringsmedicin; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: Swallowing dysfunction, dysphagia, is a common, sometimes dangerous, and often neglected problem that affects many people. The prevalence is estimated to be approximately 8% in the general population which makes it as common as e.g. diabetes or asthma. LÄS MER

5. 4. Cardiovascular aspects on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : with focus on ischemic ECG abnormalities, QT prolongation and arterial stiffness

   Författare :Ulf Nilsson; Anne Lindberg; Anders Blomberg; Bengt Johansson; Christine Brulin; Per Bakke; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epidemiology; COPD; ischemic heart disease; cardiovascular disease; ECG; spirometry; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) is an under-diagnosed disease with a prevalence of approximately 10%, highly dependent on age and smoking habits. Comorbidities are common in COPD and of these, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common. LÄS MER

7. 5. Assessing Physical Activity and Physical Capacity in Subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

   Författare :Mikael Andersson; Margareta Emtner; Christer Janson; Ann Ekberg-Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; COPD; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; physical activity; measurement properties; reliability; accuracy; validity; sedentary behavior; activity monitor; questionnaire; anthropometrics; comorbidity; fatigue; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to assess measurement properties of methods suitable for screening or monitoring of physical capacity and physical activity in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to explore factors associated with physical activity levels.Methods: Four observational studies were conducted.
