Meanings of pulmonary ntm in anglès

Eligible studies compared populations with and without pulmonary NTM disease in high-income jurisdictions.

Populations with pulmonary NTM reported significantly worse or similar HRQOL than the general population, depending on the instruments used.

These differences in species distribution may partly determine the frequency and manifestations of pulmonary NTM disease in each geographical location.

No consistent trends were observed although there is suggestion of an increased health burden from respiratory diseases and increased mortality associated with pulmonary NTM disease.
