ORIGINAL ARTICLES
Asthma and Allergy
543BMI but not central obesity predisposes to airway closure during bronchoconstriction
Ubong Peters, Meenakumari Subramanian, David G Chapman, David A Kaminsky, Charles G Irvin, Robert A Wise, Gwen S Skloot, Jason H T Bates, Anne E Dixon
10.1111/resp.13478

The effect of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) on spirometric lung function and airway closure during induced bronchoconstriction was assessed in patients with asthma. WC, but not BMI, was associated with restrictive effects on baseline spirometry. However, during bronchoconstriction, airway closure was associated with increased BMI, rather than WC.

551Development and validation of the COugh Assessment Test (COAT)
Hyeon-Kyoung Koo, Ina Jeong, Joo-Hee Kim, Sung-Kyoung Kim, Jong-Wook Shin, So Young Park, Chin Kook Rhee, Eun Young Choi, Ji-Yong Moon, Yee Hyung Kim, Hyun Lee, Hye Seon Kang, Kyung Hoon Min, Jin Woo Kim, Je Hyeong Kim, Sang Haak Lee, Kwang Ha Yoo, Deog Kyeom Kim, Hyoung Kyu Yoon, Dong-Gyu Kim, Hui Jung Kim, Ki-Suck Jung, Seung Hun Jang, on behalf of the Cough Study Group of the Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
10.1111/resp.13462

The COugh Assessment Test (COAT) is a simple assessment that has good repeatability, reliability and validity, with clear discriminative properties. The COAT might serve as a useful parameter for the evaluation of chronic cough in clinic and research settings.

Bronchiectasis
558
Idiopathic chronic productive cough and response to open-label macrolide therapy: An observational study
Matthew J Martin, Helen Lee, Carly Clayton, Kate Pointon, Irshad Soomro, Dominick E Shaw, Tim W Harrison
10.1111/resp.13483

A group of patients with chronic productive cough of unknown cause not adequately described by existing disease labels is described in terms of their physiological, radiological and pathological features. The majority of these patients demonstrated neutrophilic or paucigranulocytic airway inflammation and their symptoms responded well to azithromycin.

Interstitial Lung Disease
566
Therapeutic burden in interstitial lung disease: Lessons to learn
Yet H Khor, Ian Glaspole, Nicole S L Goh
10.1111/resp.13480

This is the first study providing insights into the significance of therapeutic complexity and polypharmacy in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Patients receiving systemic corticosteroids are at high risk of drug–disease interactions. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the impacts of therapeutic burden on clinical outcomes in patients with ILD.

Paediatric Lung Disease
572Urine metabolic profiles in paediatric asthma
Jia-Lei Tao, Yan-Zhen Chen, Qi-Gang Dai, Man Tian, Shou-Chuan Wang, Jin-Jun Shan, Jian-Jian Ji, Li-Li Lin, Wei-Wei Li, Bin Yuan
10.1111/resp.13479

We investigated metabolic profiles of paediatric asthma patients to identify asthma-specific biomarkers in urine. A combination of eight metabolites showed excellent discrimination across groups. Enrichment analysis identified complex biological processes associated with immunity, inflammation, oxidative stress and DNA damage. These approaches enabled discrimination between asthma stages and elucidate its mechanisms.

Sleep and Ventilation
582Pharyngeal distensibility during expiration is an independent predictor of the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea
Ning-Hung Chen, Shih-Wei Lin, Li-Pang Chuang, Peter A Cistulli, Meng-Jer Hsieh, Kuo-Chin Kao, Yu-Fang Liao, Li-Fu Li, Cheng-Ta Yang
10.1111/resp.13474

We have devised an image-based method that can rapidly assess obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity in awake patients. We have shown that, in awake patients, airway distensibility/collapsibility during expiration, but not inspiration, is related to the severity of OSA. Airway distensibility is an independent risk factor for OSA, but not related to anatomical changes in the tongue and soft palate.
