Impact of baseline clinical features on outcomes of nebulized glycopyrrolate therapy in COPD.

TL;DR: In 2017, glycopyrrolate (GLY) delivered via the eFlow® closed system (CS) nebulizer (nebulized GLY; 25µg twice daily), was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for maintenance treatment of moderate-to-very-severe COPD as mentioned in this paper.

ECG Abnormalities in Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis and Factors Associated with High Probability of Abnormality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the most common ECG abnormalities in patients with acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis and studied the correlation between the cardiac disorder and the other risk factors of the exacerbation.

Cardiometabolic comorbidities and associated patterns of healthcare utilization and quality of life: results from the Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE) Wave 2 in Ghana

TL;DR: In this article , the association of different comorbidity combinations with healthcare utilization and quality of life (QoL) was assessed using the World Health Organization (WHO) study on global AGEing and adult health Wave 2 (2015) conducted in Ghana.

Systemic inflammation induced by exacerbation of COPD or pneumonia in patients with COPD induces cardiac troponin elevation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether acute exacerbation of COPD causes troponin elevation, and they found that higher levels in patients with COPD are associated with higher troponins.

Association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and systemic inflammation: a systematic review and a meta-analysis

TL;DR: Reduced lung function is associated with increased levels of systemic inflammatory markers which may have important pathophysiological and therapeutic implications for subjects with stable COPD.

Prevalence and outcomes of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease in COPD.

TL;DR: Subjects with GOLD stage 3 or 4 COPD had a higher prevalence of diabetes, which contributes to a higher risk of adverse outcomes of mortality and hospitalisations, and subjects with impaired lung function had more comorbid disease.

Mortality in COPD: Role of comorbidities.

TL;DR: The current paper reviews the role of comorbidities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease mortality, the putative underlying pathogenic link between chronic obstructives pulmonary disease and comorbrid conditions (i.e. inflammation), and the tools used to predict Chronic obstructivemonary disease mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
