TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify major correlates of health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) in patients with asthma in a survey of patients who were either general practitioners or respiratory physicians.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jean-Paul Collet,Thierry Ducruet,Seema Haider,Stan Shapiro,Ann Robinson,P Renzi,André-Pierre Contandriopoulos,Pierre Ernst +7 more
TL;DR: Given the high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease worldwide and the high cost of acute exacerbations, immunostimulants may become a key element in the improved control of this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences between asthmatics and nonasthmatics hospitalised with influenza A infection
TL;DR: The remarkable increase in the risk of hospital admission in asthmatics with pandemic H1N1, compared with both seasonal influenza A and rhinovirus, may be explained by a lack of adaptive immunity to the H 1N1 virus in many young asthmatic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of HFA-134a beclomethasone dipropionate extra-fine aerosol over six months.
TL;DR: HFA-BDP has a systemic adverse event profile comparable to that of CFC-B DP 1500 microg/day, and further control of asthma symptoms may be achieved after a switch from CFC -BDP 1500 microG/day to HFA- BDP 800 microg /day.
