1. Outdoor air pollution and the burden of childhood asthma across Europe (Publications)

   Outdoor air pollution and the burden of childhood asthma across Europe

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that air pollution may contribute to childhood asthma development. We estimated the burden of incident childhood asthma that may be attributable to outdoor NO2,

2. Time-course of upper respiratory tract viral infection and COPD exacerbation (Publications)

   Time-course of upper respiratory tract viral infection and COPD exacerbation

   Relevance:

   Viral respiratory tract infections have been implicated as the predominant risk factor for acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). We aimed to evaluate, longitudinally, the association between upper res
