Résumé
Substance use disorder (SUD) causes conditions such as cognitive and behavioral disorders, anxiety, depression, and social isolation it also causes acute airway inflammation by affecting airway bronchial dynamics. The current study aimed to investigate the lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity in patients with SUD. One hundred-eighty three patients with SUD, a total of 119 healthy controls, 54 of whom were cigarette smokers and 65 of whom were non-smokers were included in the study. Spirometric tests, respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP), and the 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT) were assessed. The III National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to evaluate respiratory symptoms in patients with SUD and cigarette smokers. 86.3% of the SUD patients included in the study were using heroin, 9.2% were cannabis, and 5.5% were spice. The most common symptom in both SUD patients and cigarette smokers was shortness of breath, wheezing, and sputum production. After post-hoc tests, the FVC (p = 0.002), FVC (%predicted) (p < 0.0001), FEV The study findings indicate that substance use has an effect on lung functions and the most commonly reported symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, and sputum production. In addition, respiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity were decreased in SUD patients compared to non-smokers.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Substance use disorder (SUD) causes conditions such as cognitive and behavioral disorders, anxiety, depression, and social isolation it also causes acute airway inflammation by affecting airway bronchial dynamics. The current study aimed to investigate the lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity in patients with SUD.
METHODS
METHODS
One hundred-eighty three patients with SUD, a total of 119 healthy controls, 54 of whom were cigarette smokers and 65 of whom were non-smokers were included in the study. Spirometric tests, respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP), and the 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT) were assessed. The III National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to evaluate respiratory symptoms in patients with SUD and cigarette smokers.
RESULTS
RESULTS
86.3% of the SUD patients included in the study were using heroin, 9.2% were cannabis, and 5.5% were spice. The most common symptom in both SUD patients and cigarette smokers was shortness of breath, wheezing, and sputum production. After post-hoc tests, the FVC (p = 0.002), FVC (%predicted) (p < 0.0001), FEV
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The study findings indicate that substance use has an effect on lung functions and the most commonly reported symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, and sputum production. In addition, respiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity were decreased in SUD patients compared to non-smokers.
