No socioeconomic disparities in the availability of personal care assistance
Among children on long-term respiratory support, 29% were granted PCA, which was not associated with their socioeconomic status. While this suggests that care is provided based on need, the low proportion of children granted PCA raises concerns about whether those judged ineligible receive adequate and equitable support
Prevalence, severity and impacts of breathlessness in Indian adults
There are no known estimates of the prevalence, severity and impacts from breathlessness in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore the prevalence, severity, self-attributed underlying conditions and impacts of breathlessness limiting exertion in community-dwelling adults in India. This exploratory, population-based online survey recruited a pre-planned sample of 3,000 adult respondents stratified by age, sex and rurality (q…
Research priorities to address the global burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the next decade
BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has increased markedly in recent decades. Given the scarcity of resources available to address global health challenges and respiratory medicine being relatively under-invested in, it is important to define research priorities for COPD globally. In this paper, we aim to identify a ranked set of COPD research priorities that need to be addressed in the next 10 years …
Temporal Variation in Air Pollution Concentrations and Preterm Birth—A Population Based Epidemiological Study
There is growing evidence of adverse birth outcomes due to exposure to air pollution during gestation. However, recent negative studies are also reported. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of ozone and vehicle exhaust exposure (NO(2)) on the length of the gestational period and risk of preterm delivery. We used data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry on all vaginally delivered singleton births in the Greater Stockholm area who w…
Quantifying Spatial Patterns of Landscapes
In this paper we discuss information theoretical landscape indices based on data from digitized maps in grid format: measures based on Shannon's entropy, e.g. the measures of diversity and contagion; and measures based on conditional entropy, e.g. a new index which can be seen as an alternative to the measure of contagion that does not have the disadvantage of being highly correlated to the measure of diversity. We also introduce a measurement on…
