    Abstract Background: Despite initiatives to improve awareness and treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), country-level processes for AATD management remain unclear.
    Objectives: We conducted a pan-European physician survey to clarify the pathways for AATD care.
    Method: Professionals involved in AATD diagnosis and/or management completed a web-based survey on the detection, evaluation, monitoring and treatment of AATD and the utilisation of European reference network centres for rare lung diseases (ERN-LUNG).
    Results: Surveys were completed by 166 physicians from 18 European countries. Overall, 25 % of respondents were unaware of local specific AATD testing guidelines, and most (72 %) had referred <10 patients to a specialist. However, there was general agreement regarding reasons for referral and the types of patient referred. Approaches to AATD testing are heterogenous, with significant between-country differences in the sample testing and collection methods used. Alpha-1 antitrypsin therapy is most frequently monitored using spirometry (98 %), gas transfer (79 %) or symptoms (82 %). Overall, 28 % of respondents were unfamiliar with ERN-LUNG centres, with Portugal and Spain reporting the lowest familiarity, and use of these centres for patient evaluation varied widely. However, engagement with ERN-LUNG centres was widely agreed to be useful when it did occur (especially in Italy and Poland). Little cross-border use of ERN-LUNG centres for patient testing/evaluation was reported.
    Conclusions: European care pathways for AATD are largely uniform, but with notable heterogeneity in testing approaches and a need for education and standardisation. Familiarity with and use of ERN-LUNG AATD services is variable, and increased awareness of these services is warranted.

    Abstract Introduction: Exacerbations are common in individuals with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) related lung disease. This study intended to identify independent predictive factors for exacerbations in AATD using the Portuguese European Alpha-1 Research Collaboration (EARCO) registry.
    Methods: This study includes patients from the Portuguese EARCO registry, a prospective multicentre cohort (NCT04180319). From October 2020 to April 2023 this registry enrolled 137 patients, 14 of whom were excluded for analysis for either missing 12 months of follow-up or baseline pulmonary function.
    Results: Among the 123 AATD patients, 27 (22.0%) had at least one exacerbation in the last 12 months of follow-up. Patients with Pi*ZZ phenotype were three times more likely than the rest of the population to experience any exacerbation (32.7% vs 14.1%, p=0.014; OR 3.0). BODE index was significantly higher in exacerbators than in non-exacerbators (3.9±2.4 vs 1.3±1.2; p<0.001), including on multivariate analysis (p=0.002). Similar results were found for BODEx (multivariate p<0.001). DLCO was the only functional parameter independently associated with exacerbations (p=0.024).
    Conclusions: DLCO, BODE and BODEx were independent predictors of exacerbations at 12 months in AATD patients. Understanding these risk factors can aid decision-making on AATD-related lung disease management and improve patient outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Accurate and early staging of lung cancer has a critical impact on its prognosis. EBUS-TBNA is often the procedure of choice for mediastinal staging. Comprehension of the likelihood of malignancy of each lymph node (LN) can assist puncture decision-making during EBUS and offer insight of the procedure expected diagnostic yield.
    Methods: Prospective analysis of mediastinal LN of patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA from April 2021 to May 2022. The relationship between PET-CT SUV
    Results: A total of 363 LN from 132 patients (71% male, mean 62 years old) were analyzed. Among those with suspected benign disease, no LN puncture resulted in a diagnosis of malignancy. PET-CT SUV
    Conclusion: LN that has higher SUV

    Abstract Viral infections are known to be the main trigger for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. Face masks are acknowledged for effective viral aerosol shedding reduction. COVID-19 pandemic generated an opportunity to study the impact of face masks and confinement on droplet transmission diseases, usually implicated in acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). We aimed to evaluate the variation on severe AECOPD (sAECOPD) rate in a Portuguese COPD cohort during the first COVID-19 lockdown and following months. This retrospective self-controlled study enrolled 322 adult patients followed at COPD-specialized consultation in a tertiary hospital from February 2016 to July 2020, of whom 286 met inclusion criteria. Severe AECOPD events were registered from March 2020 (beginning of state of emergency) until July 2020. From 2016 to 2019 there was a mean of 38 patients per year with sAECOPD. During 2020, 11 patients experienced sAECOPD. Over the course of 2020 there was a 73.4% (
