Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: hiding in plain sight, a Statement from the COPD Foundation Medical and Scientific Advisory Committee
This statement from the COPD Foundation Medical and Scientific Advisory Committee identifies challenges associated with and opportunities for progress in detecting individuals with COPD.
Sex Differences in Comorbidities and Mortality Risk Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: a Study Based on NHANES Data
Source : https://bmcpulmmed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12890-023-02771-3
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly have coexisting comorbidities that contribute to higher exacerbation frequency, poorer health status, and increased all-cause mortality; however, there are only a few...
Men with COPD and comorbid congestive heart failure, anemia, and gout had a significantly higher risk of mortality, whereas women with COPD and comorbid stroke and anemia had a significantly higher risk of mortality.
High-Intensity Non-Invasive Ventilation During Exercise-Training Versus Without in People With Very Severe COPD and Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure: a Randomised Controlled Trial
Source : https://bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/10/1/e001913.long
People with very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) experience reduced exercise capacity and severe dyspnoea during exercise training...
In this small group of patients with very severe COPD requiring nocturnal NIV, participation in an ET-program during PR significantly improved exercise capacity irrespective of HI-NIV use. Reported dyspnoea was in favour of HI-NIV.
Efficacy of Different Respiratory Supports to Prevent Hypoxia During Flexible Bronchoscopy in Patients of COPD: a Triple-Arm, Randomised Controlled Trial
Source : https://bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/10/1/e001524.long
Patients with chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease (COPD) undergo bronchoscopy for various reasons, and are at relatively higher risk of complications. This study evaluated the efficacy of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and high-flow-oxygen-therapy (HFOT) compared...
NIV and HFOT are superior to COT in preventing hypoxia during bronchoscopy, but NIV is associated with poor patient tolerance and inferior operator ease.
Inhaled Corticosteroid Exposure and Risk of Cataract in Patients With Asthma and COPD: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Source : https://www.hindawi.com/journals/joph/2023/8209978/
Purpose . Both systemic and inhaled corticosteroids may increase the risk of cataract in patients with both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Our aim was to assess the...
These results emphasize a previously underestimated potential long-term risk of treatment with ICS and underline the importance of targeting ICS treatment to improve the risk-benefit ratio of maintenance treatment in asthma and COPD.
