Airway disease forms the bulk of any pulmonary medicine OPD, and good theses here go beyond diagnosis to phenotype and control. The sample titles relate smoking index to GOLD grade, compare biomass and tobacco COPD, use blood eosinophils and skin prick testing in asthma, study inhaler technique errors, anxiety and depression, asthma-COPD overlap and DLCO in emphysema.

Spirometry is universal, but DLCO, body box, skin prick panels and HRCT vary between centres, so build around what your lab does well. Exacerbation outcomes need follow-up over several months and good record-keeping. Many patients are elderly women exposed to biomass, so history-taking must cover kitchen fuel and ventilation, not just tobacco.

4Tips for a Asthma, COPD & ABPA thesis

  • Confirm diagnosis with post-bronchodilator spirometry meeting ATS/ERS quality standards, and grade COPD by GOLD and asthma control by GINA or the Asthma Control Test.
  • Diagnose ABPA using ISHAM working group criteria, measuring total IgE, Aspergillus-specific IgE and eosinophils, with HRCT for bronchiectasis and mucus plugging.
  • Assess inhaler technique by direct observation against a device-specific checklist, and record adherence and inhaler type, since errors differ between MDI, DPI and spacer use.
