  • Airway responsiveness to methacholine and incidence of COPD: an international prospective cohort study
    Marcon, Alessandro; Fuertes, Elaine; García Aymerich, Judith; Ageing Lungs In European Cohorts study (BMJ Publishing Group, 2018)
    Background: It has been debated, but not yet established, whether increased airway responsiveness can predict COPD. Recognising this link may help in identifying subjects at risk. Objective: We studied prospectively whether ...
  • Atopy modifies the association between inhaled corticosteroid use and lung function decline in patients with asthma
    Marcon, Alessandro; Antó i Boqué, Josep Maria; García Aymerich, Judith; Accordini, Simone (Elsevier, 2020)
    Background: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are the mainstay of asthma treatment, but response to medication is variable. Patients with allergic inflammation generally show a better short-term response to ICSs; however, ...
  • Incidence trends of airflow obstruction among European adults without asthma: a 20-year cohort study
    Accordini, Simone; Calciano, Lucia; Marcon, Alessandro; Pesce, Giancarlo; Antó i Boqué, Josep Maria; Beckmeyer-Borowko, Anna B.; Carsin, Anne-Elie; Corsico, Angelo G.; Imboden, Medea; Janson, Christer; Keidel, Dirk; Locatelli, Francesca; Svanes, Cecilie; Burney, Peter; Jarvis, Deborah; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Minelli, Cosetta (Nature Research, 2020)
    Investigating COPD trends may help healthcare providers to forecast future disease burden. We estimated sex- and smoking-specific incidence trends of pre-bronchodilator airflow obstruction (AO) among adults without asthma ...
  • The coexistence of asthma and COPD: risk factors, clinical history and lung function trajectories
    Marcon, Alessandro; García Aymerich, Judith; Ageing Lungs In European Cohorts study (European Respiratory Society, 2021)
    Patients with concomitant features of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a heavy disease burden.Using data collected prospectively in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey, we compared ...
  • Trends in smoking initiation in Europe over 40 years: A retrospective cohort study
    Marcon, Alessandro; Pesce, Giancarlo; Calciano, Lucia; Bellisario, Valeria; Dharmage, Shyamali C.; García Aymerich, Judith; Gislason, Thorarinn; Heinrich, Joachim; Holm, Mathias; Janson, Christer; Jarvis, Deborah; Leynaert, Bénédicte; Matheson, Melanie C.; Pirina, Pietro; Svanes, Cecilie; Villani, Simona; Zuberbier, Torsten; Minelli, Cosetta; Accordini, Simone; Ageing Lungs In European Cohorts study (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)
    BACKGROUND: Tobacco consumption is the largest avoidable health risk. Understanding changes of smoking over time and across populations is crucial to implementing health policies. We evaluated trends in smoking initiation ...
