    Physiological and Computed Tomographic Predictors of Outcome from Lung Volume Reduction Surgery
    (AMER THORACIC SOC, 2010) Washko, George R.; Martinez, Fernando J.; Hoffman, Eric A.; Loring, Stephen H.; Estepar, Raul San Jose; Diaz, Alejandro A.; Sciurba, Frank C.; Silverman, Edwin K.; Han, MeiLan K.; DeCamp, Malcolm; Reilly, John J.; Natl Emphysema Treatment Trial Res
    Rationale: Previous investigations have identified several potential predictors of outcomes from lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). A concern regarding these studies has been their small sample size, which may limit generalizability. We therefore sought to examine radiographic and physiologic predictors of surgical outcomes in a large, multicenter clinical investigation, the National Emphysema Treatment Trial.

    Relationship of emphysema and airway disease assessed by CT to exercise capacity in COPD
    (W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 2010) Diaz, Alejandro A.; Bartholmai, Brian; Estepar, Raul San Jose; Ross, James; Matsuoka, Shin; Yamashiro, Tsuneo; Hatabu, Hiroto; Reilly, John J.; Silverman, Edwin K.; Washko, George R.
    Objective: To assess the association of emphysema and airway disease assessed by volumetric computed tomography (CT) with exercise capacity in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
