TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the prevalence of inhaler mishandling in a large population of experienced patients referring to chest clinics; to analyze the variables associated with misuse and the relationship between inhaler handling and health-care resources use and disease control.About:

First-time handling of different inhalers by chronic obstructive lung disease patients
TL;DR: Inhalers techniques greatly vary in their ease of use (self-explaining) ranging from easy inhaler (Ellipta) to intermediate inhalers (breezhaler, Easy Haler, Turbohaler, Aerolizer, Handihaler, and Diskus) followed by the most difficult inhaler(s) (pMDI, Diskhalers, and Respimat).

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-stakeholder National COPD Readmissions Summit was held to summarize the understanding of how to reduce hospital readmissions in patients hospitalized for COPD exacerbations.

Determinants of uncontrolled asthma in a Swedish asthma population: cross-sectional observational study.
TL;DR: Risk factors for poorly controlled asthma were female sex, older age, low educational level, and smoking and uncontrolled asthma was significantly associated with lower quality of life.

A pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial of early intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by practice nurse-general practitioner teams: Study Protocol
Jeremy Bunker,Helen K. Reddel,Sarah Dennis,Sandy Middleton,C.P. van Schayck,Alan J. Crockett,Iqbal Hasan,Oshana Hermiz,Sanjyot Vagholkar,Guy B. Marks,Nicholas Zwar +10 more
TL;DR: A pragmatic cluster randomised trial will test the hypothesis that intervention by a practice nurse-general practitioner (GP) team leads to improved health-related quality of life and greater adherence with clinical practice guidelines for patients with newly-diagnosed COPD, compared with usual care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of novel inhaler technique reminder labels on the retention of inhaler technique skills in asthma: a single-blind randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: After inhaler trained patients received individualized labels on their inhalers reminding them of their initial errors, there was significantly less decline in inhaler technique scores for active than control groups and no significant difference between active and control patients.

TL;DR: Results reinforce the usefulness of a brief, easy to administer, patient-based index of asthma control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Clinical Methods for Rating Dyspnea
TL;DR: The results show that the BDI, MRC scale, and OCD provide significantly related measures of Dyspnea, and the clinical ratings of dyspnea correlate significantly with physiologic parameters of lung function; and breathlessness may be related to the pathophysiology of the specific respiratory disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that incorrect DPI technique with established DPIs is common among patients with asthma and COPD, and suggests that poor inhalation technique has detrimental consequences for clinical efficacy.

Misuse of corticosteroid metered-dose inhaler is associated with decreased asthma stability
Violaine Giraud,Nicolas Roche +1 more
TL;DR: Misuse of pressurized metered-dose inhalers, which is mainly due to poor coordination, is frequent and associated with poorer asthma control in inhaled corticosteroid-treated asthmatics, highlighting the importance of evaluating inhalation technique and providing appropriate education in all patients.
