ClinConnect Summary

The Extended Salford Lung Study (Ex-SLS) is a research project focused on understanding asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) better. This study aims to gather more detailed information about patients' health journeys, including their past and future experiences with these conditions. By collecting data from electronic medical records and a short questionnaire, researchers hope to learn more about risks, treatment options, and how these diseases progress over time.

To be eligible for this study, participants must have been part of the original Salford Lung Study and be willing to provide written consent for their additional health information to be collected. The study is open to all adults aged 65 to 74. If you decide to participate, you can expect to share your health history and experiences, which will help improve the understanding of asthma and COPD for everyone. This is an important opportunity not just for researchers but also for patients like you, as it could lead to better treatments in the future.
