	abstract = {Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has been shown to reduce dyspnoea and provide symptomatic improvement for a sub-set of patients with severe emphysema. The National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) demonstrated prognostic benefit in those with heterogenous disease, upper lobe predominance, and low baseline exercise capacity (1). This trial also identified patients at high risk of early mortality over the baseline risk of usual care. These patients had a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of },
