Research
- Prospective clinical trial demonstrating, for the first time, efficacy of anti-IL5Rα therapy in attenuating mannitol airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. (Chan R et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2023 Mar;151(3):700-705.e10.)
- Health informatics database showed that combining two pulmonary function tests as spirometry and airway oscillometry better identifies people with persistent asthma who have a higher risk of poor symptom control and severe exacerbations. (Chan R et al. Eur Respir J. 2022 Oct 13;60(4):2200543.)
- A multidisciplinary team-based approach with thoracic radiologists revealed a close relationship between key asthma outcomes and mediastinal lymph node size (Chan R et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2024 Feb 1;209(3):331-334.), mucus plugging (Chan R et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 2023 Jan;11(1):195-199.e2.) and bronchial wall thickening (Chan R et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 2023 May;11(5):1459-1462.e3.)
