Introduction to causal diagrams for confounder selection
In respiratory health research, interest often lies in estimating the effect of an exposure on a
health outcome. If randomization of the exposure of interest is not possible, estimating its …

Childhood predictors of lung function trajectories and future COPD risk: a prospective cohort study from the first to the sixth decade of life
Background Lifetime lung function is related to quality of life and longevity. Over the lifespan,
individuals follow different lung function trajectories. Identification of these trajectories, their …

The interplay between the effects of lifetime asthma, smoking, and atopy on fixed airflow obstruction in middle age
Rationale: The contribution by asthma to the development of fixed airflow obstruction (AO)
and the nature of its effect combined with active smoking and atopy remain unclear …

Childhood lung function predicts adult chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma–chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome
Rationale: The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing, yet
there are limited data on early life risk factors. Objectives: To investigate the role of …
