Respiratory Services, Green Lane Hospital, Green Lane West, Auckland, New Zealand
Respir Med 98:285-93. 2004..The introduction of LTOT to patients with severe COPD fulfilling standard criteria was associated with early significant improvements in HRQL with sustained or further response at 6 months...- The endurance shuttle walking test: a responsive measure in pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patientsT Eaton
Green Lane Respiratory Services, Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand
Chron Respir Dis 3:3-9. 2006..We aimed to determine: 1) the responsiveness of the ESWT in COPD patients attending a hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation programme, and 2) to compare the responsiveness of the ESWT with the 6MW... - Short-burst oxygen therapy for COPD patients: a 6-month randomised, controlled studyT Eaton
Respiratory Services, Auckland City Hospital, and Department of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Auckland, New Zealand
Eur Respir J 27:697-704. 2006..These results provide no support for the widespread use of short-burst oxygen therapy... 
Does early pulmonary rehabilitation reduce acute health-care utilization in COPD patients admitted with an exacerbation? A randomized controlled studyTam Eaton
Respiratory Services, Auckland City Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand
Respirology 14:230-8. 2009..The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to determine if early pulmonary rehabilitation, commenced as an inpatient and continued after discharge, reduced acute health-care utilization...- The Dartmouth COOP Charts: a simple, reliable, valid and responsive quality of life tool for chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseT Eaton
Respiratory Services, Green Lane Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand
Qual Life Res 14:575-85. 2005..The COOP change in health domain improved very significantly. The COOP is a simple, reliable HRQL tool which proved valid and responsive in our study population of COPD patients and may have a valuable role in routine clinical practice... - Ambulatory oxygen improves quality of life of COPD patients: a randomised controlled studyT Eaton
Dept of Respiratory Services, Green Lane Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand
Eur Respir J 20:306-12. 2002..These benefits cannot be predicted by baseline characteristics or acute response. Despite acute or short-term response, a substantial proportion of patients declined ambulatory oxygen... - Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene mutations: do they play a role in the aetiology of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis?T E Eaton
Department of Respiratory Services, Green Lane Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand
Clin Exp Allergy 32:756-61. 2002..Previous work suggests that cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations may be implicated in the aetiology of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergilosis (ABPA)... - A randomized evaluation of the acute efficacy, acceptability and tolerability of flutter and active cycle of breathing with and without postural drainage in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasisT Eaton
Respiratory Services, Auckland District Health Board, Auckland, New Zealand
Chron Respir Dis 4:23-30. 2007..All three techniques were well tolerated but ACBT-PD proved superior in terms of acute efficacy.

Respiratory Services, Green Lane Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand
Eur Respir J 22:584-8. 2003..Overall, short-burst oxygen therapy neither reduced dyspnoea nor improved performance. This study does not support the use of short-burst oxygen therapy either immediately before or after exercise... - Potential benefits of statins on morbidity and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a review of the evidenceR P Young
Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
Postgrad Med J 85:414-21. 2009.... - An evaluation of short-term oxygen therapy: the prescription of oxygen to patients with chronic lung disease hypoxic at discharge from hospitalT E Eaton
Department of Respiratory Services, Green Lane Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand
Respir Med 95:582-7. 2001..There was a high mortality in the 2-month follow-up period. A significant proportion of STOT patients did not subsequently fulfill criteria for LTOT. Further prospective studies are required in order to develop evidence-based guidelines... - Forced expiratory volume in one second: not just a lung function test but a marker of premature death from all causesR P Young
Department of Medicine, Auckland Hospital, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand
Eur Respir J 30:616-22. 2007.... 
Functional variants of antioxidant genes in smokers with COPD and in those with normal lung functionR P Young
Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, New Zealand
Thorax 61:394-9. 2006..A study was undertaken to determine whether genetic variants within genes encoding the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase may be associated with the development of impaired lung function...- Pharmacological actions of statins: potential utility in COPDR P Young
Dept of Medicine Auckland Hospital Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand
Eur Respir Rev 18:222-32. 2009..This review examines the pleiotropic pharmacological action of statins which inhibit key inflammatory and remodelling pathways in COPD and concludes that statins have considerable potential as adjunct therapy in COPD...
