Endoscopic examinations were performed on 965 Standardbred racehorses competing at Yonkers Raceway between June 16 and Aug 3, 1988, to demonstrate an association between exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and poor racing performance. Findings suggested that both exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease adversely affect performance, whereas a combination of the 2 conditions more severely affects racing performance than do either of the conditions individually.
1988年6月16日至8月3日期间，对在扬克斯赛马场参赛的965匹标准赛马进行了内镜检查，以证明运动性肺出血或慢性阻塞性肺疾病与不良比赛表现之间的关联。研究结果表明，运动性肺出血和慢性阻塞性肺疾病均会对比赛表现产生不利影响，而这两种情况同时存在对比赛表现的影响比单独任何一种情况都更为严重。
