World Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Day 2016

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an umbrella term that covers those long-term lung conditions which are characterized by shortness of breath, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and chronic asthma, and which aren ’t fully reversible. World COPD Day is observed each year in November to highlight and raises awareness about the symptoms, risk factors and, treatment for COPD – and is a good time to share some of our relevant Cochrane evidence.Blogpost: 3 things to help people with COPD keep well and keep out of the hospitalonEvidently Cochrane.Antibiotics for exacerbations of COPD Nebulisers or inhalers to give bronchodilators for exacerbations of COPD  Pulmonary rehabilitation for COPDHelp for sexual problems in people with COPDMucolytics for COPD or chronic bronchitisInhaled corticosteroids with LAMAs and LABAs for COPD Long-acting beta2-agonists (LABAs) for COPDIndacaterol for COPDTuesday, November 15, 2016
