Single-Inhaler Triple Therapy Reduces Composite AE Risk vs Dual Therapy in COPD
Single-inhaler triple therapy is associated with a favorable benefit-risk profile compared with dual therapy for patients with symptomatic COPD and a history of exacerbations.
Interstitial Lung Disease Diagnosis: Safety, Utility of Surgical Lung Biopsy
Surgical lung biopsies that are performed via video-assisted thoracic surgery are safe for obtaining histopathologic tissue for select patients.
Spirometry Measurements Obtained at Home vs Clinic Evaluated
Spirometry measurements obtained at home had poor agreement with results obtained in the clinic.
Dupilumab Effective in Treating OCS-Dependent Asthma, Weaning OCS Use
Long-term treatment of oral corticosteroid (OCS)-dependent asthma with dupilumab has shown efficacy in weaning off OCS while improving lung function.
High Levels of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide Associated With Severe Asthma Exacerbations
Patients with severe asthma who had high levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) were more likely to have asthma exacerbations than those with low levels.
Asthma, COPD Do Not Increase Mortality Risk in Patients With COVID-19
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) do not appear to increase the risk of mortality in patients with COVID-19.
Effect of Blood Eosinophil Counts on COPD Clinical Outcomes
Patients with COPD who exhibit low blood eosinophil counts had no change in exacerbations or survival compared with patients with typical counts.
Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease Mortality Rates, Trends
Although the overall rheumatoid arthritis-related mortality rates have been decreasing in recent years, rates of mortality among patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease remain stable.
Asthma Treatment Satisfaction Depends on Impact of Disease Severity on QoL
Patients who report medium-to-high impact of asthma on their quality of life are less likely to report satisfaction with treatment compared with those who report low-to-medium impact of their disease.
