Filter by:To address the public health importance of sleep disordered breathing and ultimately reduce morbidity through information gained from longitudinal, population-based, epidemiologic studies.
To determine the degree to which neuro-psychological performance and general health status and function may be impaired in subjects with mild and moderate degrees of sleep-related respiratory disturbances (SRRD), as compared to subjects with minimal apneic activity. Also, to assess the degree to which improvement may occur following specific treatment.
To investigate the epidemiology of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the evolution of the inflammatory process in patients with acute lung injury.
To conduct cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), with and without associated lung disease.
To continue the work of the Collaborative Studies Coordinating Center (CSCC) on international studies in cardiopulmonary disease epidemiology. The work was being performed under bilateral agreements that the NHLBI had entered into with Russia, The People's Republic of China and Pakistan. The contract provided nutritional, epidemiologic and biostatistical services in support of these studies.
To quantify the influence of genetic and environmental factors on the development of sleep apnea.
To determine whether airway inflammation secondary to inhalation of specific allergens and other environmental agents and functional imbalance of the autonomic nervous system played important roles in asthma and chronic bronchitis.
To determine the prevalence and longitudinal course of sleep apnea among men and women and to examine the associations of apnea, oxygen desaturation, snoring, high blood pressure, and other biomedical correlates.
To identify the prevalence of sleep apnea in men and its relationship to age, assess the natural history of the disorder, and predict those men at risk.
To determine the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on childhood development, family functioning, and parental stress.
