Chest disease in an MD Medicine thesis usually comes through the emergency and the general ward: acute exacerbations of COPD, tuberculosis with complications, exudative pleural effusions and pulmonary embolism. The sample titles also look at asthma control and spirometry, rifampicin resistance detection, interstitial lung disease in the elderly and polysomnographic severity in sleep apnoea.

Spirometry, chest radiography, pleural fluid analysis and CBNAAT are widely available, which makes these studies achievable, while CT pulmonary angiography and polysomnography may need prior arrangement. Where the hospital also has a pulmonary medicine department, choose a physician-oriented question, such as comorbidity or systemic markers, to avoid overlapping with their residents.

4Tips for a Respiratory Medicine thesis

  • Define COPD and asthma with GOLD and GINA criteria and confirm airflow limitation on post-bronchodilator spirometry, not on clinical diagnosis alone.
  • For pleural effusion studies, use Light's criteria to classify exudates and state the pleural fluid ADA cut-off in advance rather than choosing it after seeing results.
  • Pulmonary embolism work should record Wells or Geneva scores and the confirmatory test, since patients too unstable for CT angiography may otherwise be missed or misclassified.
