TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of single-inhaler FF/UMEC/VI and triple therapy (MITT) in COPD patients were compared in usual clinical care, and the proportion of COPD Assessment Test (CAT) responders (≥2 unit decrease in CAT score from baseline) at week 24 was significantly greater with FF/Umbec/VI versus non-ELLIPTA MITT (odds ratio: 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13, 1.51).

Assessment of the Level of Asthma Control among Adult Patients in Two Tertiary Care Centers in Nigeria
TL;DR: Assessment of the level of asthma control among adult patients attending two tertiary care centers in Nigeria revealed that increasing age and a lack of tertiary education were weakly associated with asthma control and gender, marriage, smoking status, occupation, socioeconomic status, income, and the duration of the asthma were not associated.

Rajiv Dhand,Donald A. Mahler,Brian W. Carlin,Nicola A. Hanania,Jill A. Ohar,Victor Pinto-Plata,Tina Shah,David Eubanks,Sidney S. Braman +8 more
TL;DR: Differences between patients' beliefs and knowledge of COPD; the need for continuous education from health care providers, particularly on inhalation devices; and extensive use of pressurized metered-dose inhalers and dry-powder inhalers despite positive perceptions of SVNs are shown.

Inhaler Technique and Adherence to Inhaled Medications among Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Vietnam.
Chau Quy Ngo,Dung Minh Phan,Giap Van Vu,Phu Ngoc Dao,Phuong Thu Phan,Hanh Thi Chu,Long Hoang Nguyen,Giang Thu Vu,Giang Hai Ha,Tung Hoang Tran,Bach Xuan Tran,Bach Xuan Tran,Carl A. Latkin,Cyrus S.H. Ho,Roger C.M. Ho +14 more
TL;DR: Worse dyspnea, greater health condition impairment, and an increased frequency of exacerbations and hospitalizations were found to be associated negatively with correct inhaler use and treatment adherence.

Inhaler devices in asthma and COPD patients – a prospective cross-sectional study on inhaler preferences and error rates
TL;DR: Compared to commonly used inhaler devices in Germany in patients with chronic obstructive respiratory disease, the Spiromax and the Nexthaler achieved the best overall ratings and were the devices most preferred by patients.

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.

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.
