TLDR
The assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been refined to separate the spirometric assessment from symptom evaluation, and the concept of de‐escalation of therapy is introduced in the treatment assessment scheme.Abstract:
This Executive Summary of the Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 Report focuses primarily on the revised and novel parts of the document. The most significant changes include: (i) the assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been refined to separate the spirometric assessment from symptom evaluation. ABCD groups are now proposed to be derived exclusively from patient symptoms and their history of exacerbations; (ii) for each of the groups A to D, escalation strategies for pharmacological treatments are proposed; (iii) the concept of de-escalation of therapy is introduced in the treatment assessment scheme; (iv)non-pharmacological therapies are comprehensively presented and (v) the importance of co-morbid conditions in managing COPD is reviewed.read more

Gabriel Thabut,Gabriel Thabut,Jason D. Christie,Philippe Ravaud,Philippe Ravaud,Yves Castier,Olivier Brugière,Michel Fournier,Hervé Mal,Guy Lesèche,Raphaël Porcher,Raphaël Porcher +11 more
TL;DR: Bilateral lung transplantation leads to longer survival than single lung transplants in patients with COPD, especially those who are younger than 60 years, and had little benefit compared with single Lung Transplantation for patients who were 60 years and older.

Does the Clinical Examination Predict Airflow Limitation
TL;DR: Airflow limitation is a disorder known by many names, including airway obstruction and obstructive airways disease, which can lead to appropriate treatment and can yield important prognostic information.

Risk of death and readmission of hospital-admitted COPD exacerbations: European COPD Audit

TL;DR: Investigating the patient, resource and organisational factors associated with in-hospital and 90-day post-discharge mortality and readmission of COPD exacerbations within the European COPD Audit found deficiencies in acute COPD care such as making spirometry available and measuring blood gases and providing noninvasive ventilation more regularly would provide opportunities to improve COPD outcomes.
