Journal ArticleDOI
Is the association between inhaled beta-agonist use and life-threatening asthma because of confounding by severity?
Pierre Ernst,B Habbick,Samy Suissa,Brenda R. Hemmelgarn,Cockcroft D,A S Buist,Ralph I. Horwitz,M McNutt,Walter O. Spitzer +8 more
TL;DR: An increasing dose-response relationship between the regular use of beta-agonist inhalers and the risk of asthma death and near death among a cohort of 12,301 subjects who had been dispensed 10 or more prescriptions of asthma drugs from January 1980 to April 1987 is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-dose inhaled and nasal corticosteroid use and the risk of cataracts.
TL;DR: It is concluded that, among the elderly, even low doses of inhaled corticosteroids are associated with a small but significant excess risk of cataracts requiring extraction, and the increase in risk was apparent even at daily doses of ≤500 μg.

TL;DR: This guide for asthma management is based on the best available published data and the opinion of health care professionals including asthma experts and educators and generally support previous recommendations and focus on new issues, particularly those relevant to children and their families.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled Corticosteroids and Risk of Tuberculosis in Patients with Respiratory Diseases
TL;DR: Exposure to ICS is not associated with risk of TB in the presence of OCS but is associated with increased TB risk in nonusers of O CS, and among users of EMT, no significant relationship could be demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risks of pneumonia in patients with asthma taking inhaled corticosteroids.
Paul M. O'Byrne,Søren Pedersen,Lars Göran Carlsson,Finn Radner,Anders Thorén,Stefan Peterson,Pierre Ernst,Samy Suissa +7 more
TL;DR: There is no increased risk of pneumonia in patients with asthma, identified as an AE or SAE, in clinical trials using budesonide, and the relative effect of ICS on pneumonia adverse events (AEs) or serious adverse Events (SAEs) was estimated.
