Epidemiology of Lung Diseases
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Patients presenting with symptoms related to the respiratory system can be challenging to the physician as a number of diseases can overlap in the semiology. For instance, asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, interstitial lung disease and inflammatory lung disease can all present with dyspnea. The main differentiating factors between these disorders are the epidemiological and demographic profiles of the patients. Therefore, age, gender, race and country of origin can all point towards a possible diagnosis. Additionally, certain epidemiological risk factors can help narrow down the differential diagnosis, which include occupational exposure and smoking history for instance. Moreover, a detail history and physical examination can help exclude a number of differential diagnoses in the patient without needing any advanced diagnostic testing or imaging modalities.
