Priorities for Screening and Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in the United States.

Conclusions: LTBI screening guidelines could make progress toward TB elimination by prioritizing screening for close contacts, HIV-infected and the foreign-born regardless of time living in the U.S. For these groups, IGRA screening was more cost-effective than TST screening.

The application of routine exclusion criteria leads to underestimates of the role of high school completion on FEV1.

Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of an Aerosolized Beta-2 Agonist for Treatment of Acute Lung Injury.

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that aerosolized albuterol does not improve clinical outcomes in ALI patients. Routine use of beta-2 agonist therapy in mechanically ventilated ALI patients cannot be recommended. Clinical trials information available at www.clinicaltrials.gov, trial registry code NCT00434993.

Ascertainment of Individual Risk of Mortality for Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

CONCLUSION: It appears that the prognosis for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may be accurately determined using four readily ascertainable predictors. Our simplified scoring system may be a valuable tool for determining prognosis and guiding clinical management. Additional research is needed to validate the applicability and accuracy of the scoring system.
