Study Summary

The goal of this observational study is to develop an advanced expiratory algorithm model utilizing exhaled breath volatile organic compound (VOC) marker molecules. This model aims to accurately diagnose mutiple pulmonary diseases. The primary objectives it strives to accomplish are:

  1. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of an exhaled breath VOC-assisted diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI) model in diagnose several common pulmonary diseases.

  2. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of an exhaled breath VOC-assisted diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI) model in diagnose more pulmonary diseases.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males or females, age must be 18 years old or above.

  • Patients must meet the CT imaging diagnostic criteria for different lung diseases,and patients must be able to provide electronic versions of CT image data.

  • Patients must have a clear clinical diagnosis.

  • All participants must sign a written informed consent form.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women.

  • Individuals with a history of cancer other than lung disease.

  • Individuals who have undergone organ transplants or non-autologous (allogeneic) bonemarrow or stem cell transplants.

  • Individuals with other severe organic diseases or mental illnesses.

  • Individuals with metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.

  • Any other condition that researchers deem unsuitable for participation in thisclinical trial.

Study Description

This is a prospective, cross-sectional, observational cohort study aimed at recruiting 10,000 participants with multiple pulmonary disease, including lung cancer, lung infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary arterial hypertension, tuberculosis, lung abscess, emphysema, radioactive lung injury, cystic fibrosis of the lung, Bronchial Asthma, Bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) etc . Exhaled breath samples from these participants will be collected and analyzed using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) and micro Gas Chromatography-photoionisation detector (μGC-PID) system. Upon obtaining the μGC-PID results, a comprehensive evaluation of the diagnostic capabilities of exhaled breath samples in differentiating various pulmonary diseases will be performed, leveraging clinical diagnostic results, CT examination data, and clinical data.
