J., Nair, S., Rao, S., Siqueira-Filha, N., Spathis, A., & Williams, S. (2024). Breathlessness without borders: a call to action for global breathlessness research. NPJ Primary Care Respiratory Medicine, 34(1), Article 26. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41533-024-00384-9

It is likely that the burden of breathlessness in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) is much higher than has been estimated using calculations of disease burden and expected prevalence of the symptom. However, most breathlessness research has be... Read More about Breathlessness without borders: a call to action for global breathlessness research.
