Levels of immunoglobulin isotypes in serum and respiratory samples of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory respiratory disorder characterised by the progressive worsening of lung function. Acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) is a leading contributor to patient morbidity, mortality and hospitalisations. The clinical significance of immunoglobulin (Ig) levels in COPD patients is not well established and is in need of further investigation. Methods and analysis We will conduct a systematic review to describe levels of different Ig isotypes (IgG, IgA and IgM) in various samples (serum, sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage) of patients with COPD. IgE levels i...

The Physiology of Asthma-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap
Immunol Allergy Clin North Am. 2022 Aug;42(3):575-589. doi: 10.1016/j.iac.2022.04.001. Epub 2022 Jun 30.ABSTRACTAsthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are both characterized by airway obstruction and share similar clinical manifestations. However, they differ in many respects related to underlying cause, mechanism of airway obstruction, pattern and progression of symptoms, and response to therapy. It remains unclear whether there is a unique physiologic phenotype that characterizes asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). This review describes the common and distinct physiologic tests that help define asthma and COPD an...

Early Features of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Patients with Asthma: Is there ACO before ACO?
Immunol Allergy Clin North Am. 2022 Aug;42(3):549-558. doi: 10.1016/j.iac.2022.03.002.ABSTRACTThe diagnosis of asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is considered when a patient presents features of both asthma and COPD, usually including a component of irreversible airway obstruction (IRAO). However, some patients with asthma, particularly smokers, may have various features typical of COPD in the absence of such component of IRAO. Features of early COPD can be found at a young age in such patients even with normal spirometry. More longitudinal studies should be conducted to determine steps need...
