Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyspnoea is a common symptom of respiratory disease. However, data on its prevalence in general populations and its association with lung function are limited and are mainly from high-income countries. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of dyspnoea across several world regions, and to investigate the association of dyspnoea with lung function. METHODS Dyspnoea was assessed, and lung function measured in 25,806 adult participants of the multinational Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study. Dyspnoea was defined as ≥2 on the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale. The prevalence of dyspnoea was estimated for each of the study sites and compared across countries and world regions. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of dyspnoea with lung function in each site. Results were then pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS The prevalence of dyspnoea varied widely across sites without a clear geographical pattern. The mean prevalence of dyspnoea was 13.7 % (SD=8.2 %), ranging from 0 % in Mysore (India) to 28.8 % in Nampicuan-Talugtug (Philippines). Dyspnoea was strongly associated with both spirometry restriction (FVC CONCLUSION The prevalence of dyspnoea varies substantially across the world and is strongly associated with lung function impairment. Using the mMRC scale in epidemiological research should be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and can be triggered by severe illness or preexisting conditions. It is debated if AF is an independent predictor of poor outcome. METHODS Data derives from a single center retrospective registry including all patients with a stay on the medical ICU for >24 h. The primary endpoint was ICU survival. Secondary endpoints included receiving mechanical support (renal, respiratory or circulatory), hemodynamic parameters during AF, rate and rhythm control strategies, anticoagulation, and documentation. RESULTS A total of 616 patients (male gender 62.3%, median age 75 years) were included in our analysis. New-onset AF was diagnosed in 87 patients (14.1%), 136 (22.1%) presented with preexisting AF, and 393 (63.8%) did not develop AF. Initial episodes of new-onset AF exhibited higher hemodynamic instability than episodes in preexisting cases, with elevated heart rates and increased catecholamine doses (both p < 0.001). ICU survival in new-onset AF was 80.5% (70/87) compared to 92.4% (363/393) in patients without AF (OR 0.340, CI 0.182-0.658, p < 0.001). Likewise, ICU survival in preexisting AF was 86.8% (118/136) was significantly lower compared to no AF (OR 0.542, CI 0.290-0.986, p = 0.050*). Independent predictors of ICU survival for patients were atrial fibrillation (p = 0.016), resuscitation before or during ICU stay (p < 0.001), and receiving acute dialysis on ICU (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS ICU survival is noticeably lower in patients with new-onset or preexisting atrial fibrillation compared to those without. Patients who develop new-onset AF during their ICU stay warrant special attention for both short-term and long-term care strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MRproANP and COPAVP are prognostic markers for mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Furthermore, these biomarkers predict mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, which are important prognostically determining comorbidities in patients with COPD. However, less is known about these biomarkers in recently diagnosed mild to moderate COPD. Therefore, we analyzed these biomarkers as potential predictors of mortality in recently diagnosed mild to moderate COPD. METHODS The blood biomarkers considered were copeptin (COPAVP), midregional adrenomedullin (MRproADM), midregional proatrial naturetic peptide (MRproANP), and fibrinogen. Analyses were performed in patients with stable "recently diagnosed mild to moderate COPD" defined by GOLD grades 0-2 and diagnosis of COPD ≤ 5 years prior to inclusion into the COSYCONET cohort (COPD and Systemic Consequences-Comorbidities Network), using Cox regression analysis with stepwise adjustment for multiple COPD characteristics, comorbidities, troponin and NT-proBNP. RESULTS 655 patients with recently diagnosed mild to moderate COPD were included. In the initial regression model, 43 of 655 patients died during the 6-year follow-up, in the final model 27 of 487. Regression analyses with adjustment for confounders identified COPAVP and MRproANP as statistically robust biomarkers (p < 0.05 each) of all-cause mortality, while MRproADM and fibrinogen were not. The fourth quartile of MRproANP (97 pmol/L) was associated with a hazard ratio of 4.5 (95%CI: 1.6; 12.8), and the fourth quartile of COPAVP (9.2 pmol/L) with 3.0 (1.1; 8.0). The results for MRproANP were confirmed in the total cohort of grade 0-4 (n = 1470 finally). CONCLUSION In patients with recently diagnosed mild to moderate COPD, elevated values of COPVP and in particular MRproANP were robust, independent biomarkers for all-cause mortality risk after adjustment for multiple other factors. This suggests that these markers might be considered in the risk assessment of early COPD.

Abstract
Since December 2019 a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread around the world resulting in an acute respiratory illness pandemic. The immense challenges for clinicians and hospitals as well as the strain on many healthcare systems has been unprecedented.The majority of patients present with mild symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, 5-8% become critically ill and require intensive care treatment. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with severe dyspnea and an increased respiratory rate (>30/min) usually leads to intensive care unit (ICU) admission. At this point bilateral pulmonary infiltrates are typically seen. Patients often develop a severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).So far, remdesivir and dexamethasone have shown clinical effectiveness in severe COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. The main goal of supportive treatment is to ascertain adequate oxygenation. Invasive mechanical ventilation and repeated prone positioning are key elements in treating severely hypoxemic COVID-19 patients.Strict adherence to basic infection control measures (including hand hygiene) and correct use of personal protection equipment (PPE) are essential in the care of patients. Procedures that lead to formation of aerosols should be carried out with utmost precaution and preparation.

Abstract
The present guideline provides a new and updated concept of the management of adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia. It replaces the previous guideline dating from 2016.The guideline was worked out and agreed on following the standards of methodology of a S3-guideline. This includes a systematic literature search and grading, a structured discussion of recommendations supported by the literature as well as the declaration and assessment of potential conflicts of interests.The guideline has a focus on specific clinical circumstances, an update on severity assessment, and includes recommendations for an individualized selection of antimicrobial treatment.The recommendations aim at the same time at a structured assessment of risk for adverse outcome as well as an early determination of treatment goals in order to reduce mortality in patients with curative treatment goal and to provide palliation for patients with treatment restrictions.

Abstract
To determine the most relevant pathogens for CAP in Germany, patients with radiologically confirmed pulmonary infiltrates and at least one clinical sign of lung infection were prospectively recruited within the CAPNETZ cohort from 2004 until 2016. In 990 out of 4.672 patients (21%) receiving complete diagnostics the most prominent change of pathogens was a decrease of S. pneumoniae (58% in 2004 to 37.5% in 2016; p ≤ 0.001, ρ = − 0.148) and an increase of H. influenzae (12.2% to 20.8%; p = 0.001, ρ = 0.104).

Abstract
Since December 2019, the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Corona Virus-2) has been spreading rapidly in the sense of a global pandemic. This poses significant challenges for clinicians and hospitals and is placing unprecedented strain on the healthcare systems of many countries. The majority of patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) present with only mild symptoms such as cough and fever. However, about 6 % require hospitalization. Early clarification of whether inpatient and, if necessary, intensive care treatment is medically appropriate and desired by the patient is of particular importance in the pandemic. Acute hypoxemic respiratory insufficiency with dyspnea and high respiratory rate (> 30/min) usually leads to admission to the intensive care unit. Often, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates/consolidations or even pulmonary emboli are already found on imaging. As the disease progresses, some of these patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mortality reduction of available drug therapy in severe COVID-19 disease has only been demonstrated for dexamethasone in randomized controlled trials. The main goal of supportive therapy is to ensure adequate oxygenation. In this regard, invasive ventilation and repeated prone positioning are important elements in the treatment of severely hypoxemic COVID-19 patients. Strict adherence to basic hygiene, including hand hygiene, and the correct wearing of adequate personal protective equipment are essential when handling patients. Medically necessary actions on patients that could result in aerosol formation should be performed with extreme care and preparation.

Abstract
Seit Dezember 2019 verbreitet sich das neuartige Coronavirus SARS-CoV‑2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – Corona Virus-2) rasch im Sinne einer weltweiten Pandemie. Dies stellt Kliniker und Krankenhäuser vor große Herausforderungen und belastet die Gesundheitssysteme vieler Länder in einem nie dagewesenen Ausmaß. Die Mehrheit der Patienten zeigt lediglich milde Symptome der sogenannten Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Dennoch benötigen etwa 5–8 % eine intensivmedizinische Behandlung. Die akute hypoxämische respiratorische Insuffizienz mit Dyspnoe und hoher Atemfrequenz (>30/Min) führt in der Regel zur Aufnahme auf die Intensivstation. Oft finden sich dann bereits bilaterale pulmonale Infiltrate/Konsolidierungen oder auch Lungenembolien in der Bildgebung. Im weiteren Verlauf entwickeln viele Patienten ein Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Eine klinische Wirksamkeit einer medikamentösen Therapie bei schwerer COVID-Erkrankung (hospitalisierte Patienten) ist bisher für Remdesivir und Dexamethason nachgewiesen. Das Hauptziel der supportiven Therapie ist es eine ausreichende Oxygenierung sicherzustellen. Die invasive Beatmung und wiederholte Bauchlagerung sind dabei wichtige Elemente in der Behandlung von schwer hypoxämischen COVID-19 Patienten. Die strikte Einhaltung der Basishygiene, einschließlich der Händehygiene, sowie das korrekte Tragen von adäquater persönlicher Schutzausrüstung sind im Umgang mit den Patienten unabdingbar. Prozeduren, die zur Aerosolbildung führen könnten, sollten falls nötig, mit äußerster Sorgfalt und Vorbereitung durchgeführt werden.

Die Mehrheit der Patienten zeigt lediglich milde Symptome der sogenannten Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Dennoch benötigen etwa 5–8 % eine intensivmedizinische Behandlung. Die akute hypoxämische respiratorische Insuffizienz mit Dyspnoe und hoher Atemfrequenz (>30/Min) führt in der Regel zur Aufnahme auf die Intensivstation. Oft finden sich dann bereits bilaterale pulmonale Infiltrate/Konsolidierungen oder auch Lungenembolien in der Bildgebung. Im weiteren Verlauf entwickeln viele Patienten ein Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Eine klinische Wirksamkeit einer medikamentösen Therapie bei schwerer COVID-Erkrankung (hospitalisierte Patienten) ist bisher für Remdesivir und Dexamethason nachgewiesen. Das Hauptziel der supportiven Therapie ist es eine ausreichende Oxygenierung sicherzustellen. Die invasive Beatmung und wiederholte Bauchlagerung sind dabei wichtige Elemente in der Behandlung von schwer hypoxämischen COVID-19 Patienten. Die strikte Einhaltung der Basishygiene, einschließlich der Händehygiene, sowie das korrekte Tragen von adäquater persönlicher Schutzausrüstung sind im Umgang mit den Patienten unabdingbar. Prozeduren, die zur Aerosolbildung führen könnten, sollten falls nötig, mit äußerster Sorgfalt und Vorbereitung durchgeführt werden.

Abstract
A 62-year-old patient with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis underwent inguinal hernia surgery. After the operation, sudden circulatory arrest occurred, requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Coronary angiography revealed a 99 % proximal stenosis of right coronary artery (RCA) with unsuspicious and smooth coronary vessel walls. In the further course, several similar events occurred, but without pathological findings in the coronary angiography. Initially, echocardiography showed slightly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 45 %. Chest radiography revealed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and white blood cell count showed severe eosinophilia (37 %). Serological antibody testing including ANA, ENA and c-/p-ANCA was negative. Myeloproliferative pathologies were excluded by bone marrow puncture. The patient suffered from emerging dyspnea, weakness, and ongoing weight loss. A methylprednisolone pulse of 250 mg/d for 3 days remained without significant effect, so that the patient was eventually referred to our university hospital due to ongoing clinical deterioration. On admission, the patient suffered from weakness, progressive muscular atrophy, and dyspnea on exertion. Physical examination revealed a right-sided peroneal paralysis. Bronchial lavage detected severe eosinophil alveolitis (37 %), and laboratory findings showed elevated cardiac enzymes and NT-proBNP (Troponin-T > 700 ng/l, NT-proBNP > 10.000 ng/l). Echocardiography revealed a dramatic deterioration of cardiac function (LVEF 16 %). Interdisciplinary discussion between pulmonologists and cardiologists lead to the diagnosis of ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) with pulmonary and cardiac involvement. Initiation of immunosuppressive therapy with methylprednisolone 1000 mg/d for 3 days followed by cyclophosphamide therapy (6 pulses, administered every 4 weeks) led to substantial symptomatic improvement, complete regression of pulmonary infiltrates and marked recovery of cardiac function (LVEF 47 %). CONCLUSION: Serological detection of elevated ANCAs is not necessary for diagnosis of EGPA. Only 30 - 70 % of patients are positive for these, particularly if neurological and/or renal rather than cardiac and/or pulmonary involvement is present. This may be a pitfall in establishing the correct diagnosis. Induction therapy with cyclophosphamide is the preferred treatment for steroid-refractory EGPA with life-threatening organ involvement.

Abstract
Background Peripheral neuropathy is a common comorbidity in COPD. We aimed to investigate associations between alterations commonly found in COPD and peripheral neuropathy, with particular emphasize on the distinction between direct and indirect effects. Methods We used visit 4 data of the COPD cohort COSYCONET, which included indicators of polyneuropathy (repeated tuning fork and monofilament testing), excluding patients with diabetes a/o increased HbA1c. These indicators were analysed for the association with COPD characteristics, including lung function, blood gases, 6-min walk distance (6-MWD), timed-up-and-go-test (TUG), exacerbation risk according to GOLD, C-reactive protein (CRP), and ankle-brachial index (ABI). Based on the results of conventional regression analyses adjusted for age, BMI, packyears and gender, we utilized structural equation modelling (SEM) to quantify the network of direct and indirect relationships between parameters. Results 606 patients were eligible for analysis. The indices of polyneuropathy were highly correlated with each other and related to base excess (BE), ABI and TUG. ABI was linked to neuropathy and 6-MWD, exacerbations depended on FEV1, 6-MWD and CRP. The associations could be summarized into a SEM comprising polyneuropathy as a latent variable (PNP) with three measured indicator variables. Importantly, PNP was directly dependent on ABI and particularly on BE. When also including patients with diabetes and/or elevated values of HbA1c (n = 742) the SEM remained virtually the same. Conclusion We identified BE and ABI as major determinants of peripheral neuropathy in patients with COPD. All other associations, particularly those with lung function and physical capacity, were indirect. These findings underline the importance of alterations of the micromilieu in COPD, in particular the degree of metabolic compensation and vascular status.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) primarily affects the lungs; however, cardiovascular conditions are among the most common extrapulmonary comorbidities. Besides shared risk factors such as cigarette smoking, pathophysiological connections between the lung and the heart have been identified as mediators of reduced cardiac output. Recent research has focused on hyperinflation of the lung as a pulmonary cause for heart dysfunction. Hyperinflation is a typical lung abnormality seen in COPD; it is characterized by increased residual volume, intrathoracic gas volume, and total lung capacity while vital capacity is decreased. The degree of hyperinflation with airway obstruction is inversely related to left ventricular filling, stroke volume, and cardiac output. The underlying mechanisms are assumed to be compression of the pulmonary veins and thus reduced preload of the left heart as well as decreased pulmonary microvascular blood flow due to compression of the pulmonary vasculature. Treatment with a dual bronchodilator antagonizes this detrimental lung-heart unbalance effectively: Pulmonary blood flow, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, and stroke volume increase in COPD patients without cardiac abnormalities. Similar effects, yet less pronounced, were reported with single bronchodilator therapy. Future work needs to investigate whether these promising findings can be reproduced in COPD patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
RATIONALE Alterations of acid-base metabolism are an important outcome predictor in acute exacerbations of COPD, whereas sufficient metabolic compensation and adequate renal function are associated with decreased mortality. In stable COPD there is, however, only limited information on the combined role of acid-base balance, blood gases, renal and respiratory function on exacerbation risk grading. METHODS We used baseline data of the COPD cohort COSYCONET, applying linear and logistic regression analyses, the results of which were implemented into a comprehensive structural equation model. As most informative parameters it comprised the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), lung function defined via forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), intrathoracic gas volume (ITGV) and (diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), moreover arterial oxygen content (CaO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaCO2), base exess (BE) and exacerbation risk according to GOLD criteria. All measures were adjusted for age, gender, body-mass index, the current smoking status and pack years. RESULTS 1506 patients with stable COPD (GOLD grade 1-4; mean age 64.5 ± 8.1 y; mean FEV1 54 ± 18 %predicted, mean eGFR 82.3 ± 16.9 mL/min/1.73 m2) were included. BE was linked to eGFR, lung function and PaCO2 and played a role as indirect predictor of exacerbation risk via these measures; moreover, eGFR was directly linked to exacerbation risk. These associations remained significant after taking into account medication (diuretics, oral and inhaled corticosteroids), whereby corticosteroids had effects on exacerbation risk and lung function, diuretics on eGFR, BE and lung function. CONCLUSION Even in stable COPD acid-base metabolism plays a key integrative role in COPD risk assessment despite rather small deviations from normality. It partially mediates the effects of impairments in kidney function, which are also directly linked to exacerbation risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 2010, the number of organ donations has decreased by 30% in Germany; however, stricter organizational structures in clinics and improved payment for hospital services associated with organ removal should increase the current decline in the number of organ donations in Germany. In addition, the Federal Minister of Health proposed introduction of the double presumed consent solution for organ donation. This proposal is currently being discussed very controversially. Against this background, we conducted an online survey of all members of the German Society of Medical Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DGIIN) in order to evaluate the attitude towards organ donation. METHOD The present work is an anonymous online survey among the members of DGIIN, which took place from 10-23 September 2018. In addition to a few demographic queries, the personal opinion on the regulation of organ donation was collected. RESULTS A total of 1019 (51.9%) of 1964 invited DGIIN members took part at the survey: 79.3% of the participants were male; average age 47.5 ± 11.2 years; 97.7% were physicians, of whom 89.2% were specialists and 62.7% had the additional degree in critical care; 20.6% voted for the current decision-making solution, 43.1% for the presumed consent, 33.1% for the double presumed consent, whereas 3.2% of the respondents were uncertain in their decision. CONCLUSION A clear majority of the surveyed members of DGIIN support the concept of presumed consent.

Abstract
Human blood monocytes are divided into populations based on the differential expression of CD14 and CD16 receptors: CD14 + CD16(classical), CD14 + CD16 + (intermediate), and CD14-CD16+ (non-classical). Given their functional differences and their role in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), monocyte profiling is of clinical interest. Here we investigated blood monocyte subsets in clinically stable COPD patients with alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (PiZZ, n = 7) and with normal AAT variant (PiMM, n = 7). Peripheral whole blood was collected in sodium heparin tubes and incubated with LPS (from E. coli; 1 μg/ml) or placebo for 6 h at 37 °C, 5% CO2. To profile monocyte subsets we performed flow cytometry analysis based on HLA-DR and CD14/CD16 staining. HLA-DR + subsets of cells did not differ between PiZZ and PiMM COPD, and healthy controls (n = 7), used as a reference. Monocyte profiling, which express the CD14 and CD16, but not the HLA-DR (HLA-DR-) showed that intermediate monocytes subset was lowest in PiZZ group, and almost totally disappeared from blood treated with LPS. The non-classical subset was almost absent in PiZZ patients independently of LPS treatment. Recent studies demonstrate that non-classical monocytes exhibit a unique ability to protect the vascular endothelium under both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions whereas intermediate monocytes are recruited at a later stage of inflammation, and are associated with secretion of cytokines/chemokines and wound healing. Evident alterations in blood monocyte subsets together with a partial reduction of AAT levels, an important anti-inflammatory protein, can be key factors for the early manifestation of emphysema in some PiZZ AATD carriers.

Abstract
Professional opinions on and assessments of physical performance must be oriented to the individual capacity of the person in question. Moreover, this performance has to be correlated with the expected physical load at work, sports activities or operative stress. This "Load to Capacity Concept" is already a part of an integrative medical assessment, based on clinical experience and common sense, rather than on diagnostic numerical values. An evaluation of work intensity in the context of socio-medical assessment ("light - moderate - severe - very severe", German Statutory Pension Insurance, based on the German REFAClassification) can now be complemented by well accessible and valid data based on measurements of real-life and professional activities. Also the ratio of continuous power in view of the maximal power output (V'O2 peak) and the power at the aerobic-anaerobic threshold (V'O2 at VT1) is well established. This information is gained by ergospirometry (CPET - Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Testing). The focus while interpreting the performance lies on Watt as a physical parameter and on O2-consumption (V'O2 L/min) as the crucial biological correlate. V'O2 is presented as a direct value (L/min) or in complex values like MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) and calories (kcal).Recent studies can take advantage of technical progress in this field: rapid sensory measurement, convenient display in graphs and tables. In earlier literature there is ample information on working demands and energy expenditure, supplemented by V'O2-data and MET (see Ainsworth et al.). These studies are helpful for orientation. However, it has to be kept in mind that these studies were done with technical possibilities available then, mostly in a laboratory setting, not under real-life conditions. Portable ergospirometry was not available at that time. Ergospirometry has already proved to be a useful tool in cases where expert opinion is required on compensation claims or questions of early retirement. Positive results of our study on "Occupational Activity of Cleaning Personnel in Clinics" are also reported here.

Abstract
Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Diagnosis requires spirometric change, which becomes increasingly difficult with advancing CLAD. Fourier decomposition magnetic resonance imaging (FD-MRI) permits acquisition of ventilated-weighted images during free-breathing. This study evaluates FD-MRI in detecting CLAD in selected patients after bilateral lung transplantation (DLTx). DLTx recipients demonstrating CLAD at various stages participated. Radiologists remained blinded to clinical status until completion of image analysis. Image acquisition used a 1.5-T MR scanner using a spoiled gradient echo sequence. After FD processing and regional fractional ventilation (RFV) quantification, the volume defect percentage at 2 thresholds (VDP1,2 ), median lung RFV and quartile coefficient of dispersion (QCD) were calculated. Sixty-two patients participated. CLAD was present in 29/62 (47%) patients, of whom 17/62 (27%) had forced expiratory volume in 1 second ≤65% at image acquisition. VDP1 was higher among these participants compared to other groups (P < .001). Increased VDP1 was associated with subsequent graft loss, with values >2% showing reduced survival, independent of degree of graft dysfunction (P = .005). VDP2 discriminated between presence or absence of CLAD (area under the curve = 0.71; P = .03). QCD increased significantly with advancing disease (P < .001). In conclusion, FD-MRI-derived parameters demonstrate potential in quantitative CLAD diagnosis and assessment after DLTx.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate quantitative computed tomography (CT) measurements of the lung parenchyma in lung transplant (LTx) patients for early detection of the bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS 359 CT scans of 122 lung transplant patients were evaluated. Measurements of lung volume and density were performed for the whole lung and separately for each lobe. For longitudinal analysis the difference between the baseline at 6 months after LTx and follow-up examinations was calculated. Patients with and without BOS (matched 1:2) were compared at two different time points, the last examination before the BOS onset and the first examination within one year after BOS onset. RESULTS 30 patients developed BOS during the follow-up period. Longitudinal changes in the lung volume and lung density measured on CT differed significantly between those patients with and without early BOS, in particular the difference of the inspiratory and expiratory lung volume (p < 0.001), the ratio of the expiratory and inspiratory lung volume (p < 0.001-p = 0.001) and MLD (p < 0.001-p = 0.001), the volume on expiration (p < 0.001-p = 0.007), the MLD on expiration (p < 0.001-p = 0.007), and the percentiles on expiration (p < 0.001-p = 0.002) with an increase of lung volume and a decrease of lung density. Changes were pronounced in the lower lobes. Before BOS onset, patients with and without future development of BOS showed no significant differences. CONCLUSION Longitudinal changes of lung volume and lung density measured on CT start markedly at BOS onset with increased lung volume and decreased lung density indicating increased inflation levels. Even though this method may help to diagnose BOS at onset it is not useful as a predictor for BOS before disease onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy with transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a well-established tool in mediastinal staging in lung cancer and gains importance in exploration of non-malignant lymphadenopathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of EBUS-TBNA in suspected non-malignant diseases. METHODS A retrospective, single-center, observation analysis of endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy procedures was performed in a university medical center between March 2013 and July 2015. All patients with suspected non-malignant mediastinal lymphadenopathy were included. Cytopathological and microbiological results of EBUS were compared to clinical diagnosis 6 months after procedure and performance of EBUS was contrasted to malignant indications. RESULTS During study period, 333 EBUS bronchoscopies in 315 patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy were performed. 111 out of 315 (35 %) patients had neither primary signs nor history of a malignant disease, categorised as patients with suspected non-malignant disease. 245 lymph nodes were sampled (median size 15 mm [IQR10 - 19]). Preferred station for TBNA was lymph node station 7 (38 %). Cytopathological findings revealed non-specific inflammation (n = 81; 70 %), carcinoma (n = 7; 6 %), epithelioid cell granulomas (n = 20; 17 %). 7 samples (6 %) were non-representative. Microbiologic testing of lymph nodes identified 3 infections (Mycobacteria tuberculosis [n = 2] and Nocardia nova [n = 1]) relevant to antibiotic therapy. Minor adverse events were observed in 9 out of 115 (8 %) patients. Sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA intervention in suspected non-malignant disease was 76 % and specificity 96 %. CONCLUSIONS EBUS-TBNA revealed a specific cause for suspected non-malignant lymphadenopathy in one-third of cases and was associated with excellent specificity. Predominant specific causes were granuloma, besides from tumor. In 3 patients pathogen could be isolated by TBNA.
