Journal ArticleDOI
Underreporting Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in a Longitudinal Cohort
TL;DR: The number of symptoms at onset was the most important predictor of reporting an exacerbation, and both reported and unreported exacerbations had an impact on health status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Fatal and Near-Fatal Asthma in Relation to Inhaled Corticosteroid Use
Pierre Ernst,Walter O. Spitzer,Samy Suissa,Donald W. Cockcroft,Brian F. Habbick,Ralph I. Horwitz,Jean-Francois Boivin,Mary McNutt,A S Buist +8 more
TL;DR: Data support recent guidelines from several countries that recommend the use of inhaled corticosteroids in moderate and severe asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled corticosteroids and the risks of diabetes onset and progression.
TL;DR: In patients with respiratory disease, inhaled corticosteroid use is associated with modest increases in the risks of diabetes onset and diabetes progression, and the risks are more pronounced at the higher doses currently prescribed in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Risk of Childhood Asthma From Antibiotic Use in Early Life
TL;DR: Antibiotic use in early life was associated with the development of childhood asthma, a risk that may be reduced by avoiding the use of BS cephalosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in Airway Cytokine Profile in Severe Asthma Compared to Moderate Asthma
Joanne Shannon,Pierre Ernst,Yasuhiro Yamauchi,Ronald Olivenstein,Catherine Lemière,Susan Foley,Leo Cicora,Mara S. Ludwig,Qutayba Hamid,James G. Martin +9 more
TL;DR: Patients with severe asthma have increases in neutrophils and eosinophils in the sputum, and differ in airway cytokine/chemokine expression from moderate asthmatics, but differences in eOSinophilia do not appear to be associated with IL-5 and eotaxin expression.
