Superficially, the pulmonary-function studies suggested the presence of possible obstructive pulmonary disease as well, since the maximum breathing capacity and 1-second vital capacity were both low.

Chronic bronchitis and asthma are obstructive lung diseases. Obstructive lung disease prevents you from exhaling all the air from your lungs, while restrictive lung disease decreases the volume of ...

Severe obstructive physiology and restrictive physiology were associated with an increased risk for severe COVID-19 compared with normal spirometry, with adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of 2.11 (95% ...
