Receptor for advanced glycation end-products and environmental exposure related obstructive airways disease: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our group has identified the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) as a predictor of World Trade Center particulate matter associated lung injury. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the relationship between RAGE and obstructive airways disease secondary to environmental exposure.

Methods

A comprehensive search using PubMed and Embase was performed on January 5, 2018 utilising keywords focusing on environmental exposure, obstructive airways disease and RAGE and was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018093834). We included original human research studies in English, focusing on pulmonary end-points associated with RAGE and environmental exposure.

Results

A total of 213 studies were identified by the initial search. After removing the du
