Declining or Waning
- Traditional Lung Function Testing:
There has been a noticeable shift towards advanced imaging and non-invasive techniques for assessing lung function, leading to a decline in the emphasis on conventional spirometry and related methodologies. - Single Disease Focus Studies:
Research that focuses solely on one respiratory disease, such as asthma or COPD, is waning, as there is a growing interest in the overlapping characteristics of these diseases and the need for integrated management approaches. - Invasive Diagnostic Procedures:
With the advent of more advanced and less invasive diagnostic tools, there has been a reduction in studies focusing on traditional invasive methods such as bronchoscopy and thoracentesis. - Longitudinal Cohort Studies:
While longitudinal studies remain important, there has been a declining trend in their prevalence, possibly due to the increasing complexity and resource demands of conducting such extensive research.
