Respiratory Muscle Strength and Mortality in Patients with COPD: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
MIP shows a consistent directional association with survival in patients with COPD, although magnitude estimates vary with measurement protocols and confounder control. We propose a minimum reporting set (posture, starting lung volume, trials/repeatability, device/calibration, cmH<sub>2</sub>O units, and prespecified confounders) and immediate clinical actions: standardized MIP during stable visits for risk stratification and PIFR screening to guide inhaler selection.
