The relationship between prescription rates of oral corticosteroids for respiratory diseases and deprivation in England
This study carried out a multivariable regression analysis of publicly available data and found that deprivation is associated with a statistically significant increase in the proportion of patients receiving an OCS prescription for asthma or COPD at a GP practice level (p < 0.001). The model estimated that the proportion of prescriptions is 1.88% (95% CI 1.83% to 1.92%) and 2.84% (95% CI 2.70% to 2.98%) for the least deprived GP practice and the most deprived GP practice, respectively. This study lays the groundwork for future research using individual patient level data to consider the impact of variation in OCS presc...

Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2023 Guidelines Reviewed
Open Respir Med J. 2024 Jan 10;18:e18743064279064. doi: 10.2174/0118743064279064231227070344. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) report is an essential resource for all clinicians who strive to provide optimal care to patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). The annual report of GOLD makes few revisions and updates besides including data from the preceding year. At an interval, GOLD comes up with a significant modification in its guidelines, which is generally a major overhaul of the pre-existing guidelines. According to the latest 2023 updates, publishe...

Inappropriate Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate in the Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of inappropriate PIFR among patients with COPD is 17.2% for aerosol device users and 42.1% for DPI users. Suboptimal PIFR correlates with female gender, shorter stature, lower weight and MVV in DPI users.PMID:38659389 | DOI:10.4046/trd.2023.0195 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Implications of Cardiopulmonary Risk for the Management of COPD: A Narrative Review
Adv Ther. 2024 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s12325-024-02855-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitutes a major global health burden and is the third leading cause of death worldwide. A high proportion of patients with COPD have cardiovascular disease, but there is also evidence that COPD is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in cardiovascular disease. Patients with COPD frequently die of respiratory and cardiovascular causes, yet the identification and management of cardiopulmonary risk remain suboptimal owing to limited awareness and clinical intervention. Acute exacerbations punctu...

Heightened long-term cardiovascular risks after exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Conclusion Moderate and severe COPD exacerbations are independent risk factors for adverse CV events, especially HF decompensation. The impact of optimising COPD management on CV outcomes should be evaluated. (Source: Heart)
