Better recognition: With advances in medical care & better understanding of the pathophysiology of many disorders, we can now diagnose many different forms of lung disorders with greater certainty and ease. There is more awareness about many chronic lung conditions & people now seek help sooner. Availability of advanced imaging & diagnostic procedures such as bronchoscopy & pfts has further improved management.
