Not surprisingly, the picture in LMIC is a bit different
PRISm can represent lung or extrathoracic effects. Prevalence varied by site, up to 16%. More common in women and younger people. Risk factors for PRISm in high-income settings such as obesity and 🚬 were not significant here. PRISm was associated with poor respiratory health.
