Elevated pulmonary pressures above 20 mmHg predict poor outcomes, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment. This study examines the correlation between PAH severity and OAD, aiming to inform targeted therapies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This cross-sectional observational study included OAD patients attending the Respiratory Medicine Department at PIMSR, Vadodara, from March 2023 to March 2024.
