| 20 | Increased physical activity reduces sleep disturbances in asthma: A randomized controlled trial
Natalia Febrini Passos, Patricia D Freitas, Regina Maria Carvalho-Pinto, Alberto Cukier, Celso R F Carvalho

We evaluated the effect of increased physical activity in daily living (PADL) on sleep quality, quality of life and symptoms in adults with asthma and how improvement in sleep quality was associated with anxiety symptoms. Increased PADL improved sleep quality, quality of life, asthma and anxiety symptoms. Improved sleep quality was associated with better asthma control.

Global, regional and national burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease over a 30-year period: Estimates from the 1990 to 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study

Over the last 30 years, the absolute number of COPD-associated deaths and DALYs increased significantly worldwide, but the ASIR, ASDR and age-standardized DALY rate of COPD declined. Health authorities and policymakers must take these differences into account to make better use of limited resources.

Poor kitchen ventilation, cooking with biomass fuels, low intake of fruits and vegetables, early age of smoking initiation and long duration of smoking, prior tuberculosis, low income and blue-collar jobs are strongly associated with airflow obstruction and collectively contribute to two thirds of its population attributable risk in China. |

| 47 | Respiratory admissions before and during the COVID-19 pandemic with mediation analysis of air pollutants, mask-wearing and influenza rates

The reason behind the observation of decline in respiratory hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic was uncertain. This study found that air pollutants levels and influenza rate had mediation effects on the decrease in hospitalizations for COPD and non-COVID pneumonia, but not for asthma during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is the largest study in Caucasian population showing that lung cancer is prevalent and exerts a dramatic impact on patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Incidence of lung cancer increases over time in patients with IPF. Early identification and surgical resection might confer survival benefit. There remains substantial heterogeneity in disease management. |

| 66 | Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy versus CT-guided transthoracic biopsy for diagnosis of pulmonary nodules

Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) has the potential improve diagnostic accuracy for pulmonary nodules. We compared diagnostic performance of RAB to CT-guided biopsy (CTTB), the most commonly used tool for lung biopsy. We found no significant difference in diagnostic yield for RAB (87.6%) compared to CTTB (88.4%) in 225 patients.
