AR1 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIFFERENT MEASURES OF ASTHMA SEVERITY: PATIENT-PERCEIVED, SYMPTOM DERIVED, AND FEV1 DETERMINED SEVERITY MEASURES

Validity of symptom and clinical measures of asthma severity for primary outpatient assessment of adult asthma.

BACKGROUND Symptom and pulmonary function measures of asthma severity are used for severity classification in practice guidelines. However, there is limited methodological evidence in support of their validity and utility. AIM To validate initial symptom and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) measures of asthma severity with the subsequent risks of exacerbations resulting in emergency room (ER) ...

Acoustic measures of the relationship between winter severity and overwinter mortality of alewives

Freshwater alewives have been shown to be quite sensitive to cold water, and evidence exists to suggest that entire year classes have died in severe winters. Although a number of factors influence alewife survival rates, it is likely that overwinter mortality is substantial in most years. In spite of the apparent importance of overwinter mortality, estimates of overwinter mortality rates for th...
