EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF RESPIRATORY DISEASES AND ITS IMPACT ON TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Keywords:
early diagnosis, respiratory diseases, treatment outcomes, screening, lung function, spirometry, imaging, prevention, healthcare policy.Abstract
Respiratory diseases constitute a significant part of global health
challenges, affecting millions of people across all age groups and leading to substantial
morbidity and mortality. Improved understanding and awareness of the importance of
early diagnosis have been at the forefront of respiratory medicine, as timely detection
of diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis,
pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, and lung cancer is directly associated with better
treatment outcomes and reduced disease burden. The nature of respiratory diseases
often involves progressive decline in lung function and general health if left undetected
or untreated; hence, the early recognition of symptoms and immediate medical
evaluation forms the basis of effective management and prevention of complications.
