Heightened ventilatory response during stair climbing in individuals with dysfunctional breathing
Open accessAbstract
This prospective cohort study confirms that patients with dysfunctional breathing experience dyspnoea and an abnormal breathing pattern when faced with undertaking everyday exercise challenges, such as climbing stairshttps://bit.ly/3OEWwPM

This overlap complicates efforts to identify DB's unique features, as symptoms like breathlessness, chest tightness, and dyspnea are often shared with these comorbid conditions.
“This overlap complicates efforts to identify DB's unique features, J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f as symptoms like breathlessness, chest tightness, and dyspnea are often shared with these comorbid conditions (75).”
From How is dysfunctional breathing characterised in the clinical literature? A scoping review (2026) · cites this paper as [75]
The paper’s Abstract reports breathlessness in people with dysfunctional breathing and says there is no gold-standard means of diagnosis. It does not say that chest tightness or dyspnea are shared with comorbid conditions, or that symptom overlap is what makes DB’s unique features hard to identify.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
