The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) penalizes hospitals for 30-day readmissions and was extended to COPD in October 2014. There is limited evidence available on readmission risk factors and reasons for readmission to guide hospitals in initiating programs to reduce COPD readmissions.
6855. Reliability of home respiratory polygraphy for the diagnosis of sleep apnea in children.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) in children with a clinical suspicion of OSA-hypopnea syndrome (OSAS).

COPD is a chronic inflammatory disorder associated with oxidative stress. Serum bilirubin has potent antioxidant actions, and higher concentrations have been shown to protect against oxidative stress. The relation between serum bilirubin and COPD progression is unknown.

Short telomeres are a common defect in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, yet mutations in the telomerase genes account for only a subset of these cases.
6858. Natural history of typical pulmonary carcinoid tumors: a comparison of nonsurgical and surgical treatment.
The natural history of typical pulmonary carcinoid tumors has not been described and has important implications for counseling elderly patients or patients with high operative-risk about surgical resection.
6859. How Common Is Airflow Limitation in Patients With Emphysema on CT Scan of the Chest?

COPD has traditionally been defined by the presence of irreversible airflow limitation on spirometry using either the GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) or American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society criteria (lower limit of normal [LLN]). We have observed that some patients with clinical COPD and emphysema on chest CT scan have no obstruction on spirometry. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of obstruction by GOLD and LLN criteria in patients with emphysema on CT scan and determine which radiographic criteria were associated with a clinical diagnosis of COPD.
