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

TL;DR: If a patient suffering from chronic bronchitis presents a documented airway obstruction, NAC should be administered at a dose of ≥1200 mg per day to prevent exacerbations, while if a patient suffers from chronic Bronchitis, but is without airway obstruct, a regular treatment of 600 mg per day seems to be sufficient.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to estimate the case fatality of a severe exacerbation from long-term survival data presented in the literature, and meta-analysis based on six studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria resulted in a weighted average case-fatality rate.

Elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is associated with increased mortality after acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: Elevated hs-cTnT during AECOPD is frequent, and it is associated with increased mortality, and the effect is stronger among patients having tachycardia than among patients with normal heart rate.
