Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, 5501 Hopkins Bayview Circle, JHAAC 4B 70, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA
Thorax 67:309-14. 2012..A study was undertaken to determine the independent associations of HIV infection, CD4 cell count and plasma HIV viral load with the presence of OLD in an urban cohort...
HIV and COPD: impact of risk behaviors and diseases on quality of lifeM Bradley Drummond
Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, 5501 Hopkins Bayview Circle, JHAAC 4B 70, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA
Qual Life Res 19:1295-302. 2010..Smoking worsens quality of life among HIV-infected individuals, but it remains unclear if this association is related simply to smoking or to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the end-organ disease caused by smoking...
Intersession variability in single-breath diffusing capacity in diabetics without overt lung diseaseMichael B Drummond
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21224, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 178:225-32. 2008..However, little is known about the short-term intersession variability in DL(CO) in untrained subjects or how variability is affected by rigorous external quality control...
Continuous oxygen use in nonhypoxemic emphysema patients identifies a high-risk subset of patients: retrospective analysis of the National Emphysema Treatment TrialMichael B Drummond
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 5501 Hopkins Bayview Circle, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA
Chest 134:497-506. 2008..Little is known regarding the clinical characteristics and survival of nonhypoxemic emphysema patients using continuous oxygen. Analysis of data from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) offers insight into this population...

COPD 7:179-85. 2010..COPD is under-reported on death certificates, and this under-reporting is more frequent when the primary cause of death is not pulmonary...
Prevalence and risk factors for unrecognized obstructive lung disease among urban drug usersM Bradley Drummond

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA
J Asthma 48:1051-7. 2011..Because some patients fail montelukast step-down therapy, it would be helpful for clinicians to be able to predict the risk of treatment failure...
Relationship between lung function impairment and health-related quality of life in COPD and interstitial lung diseaseCristine E Berry
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA
