TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe differences in indicators of asthma symptoms and exacerbations among patients using more or less SABA than the guideline-recommended threshold of Patients and methods Data from Dutch respondents in the European REcognise Asthma and LInk to Symptoms and Experience (REALISE) survey were used in this post hoc analysis.

Comparative Study of Inhaler Device Handling Technique and Risk Factors for Critical Inhaler Errors in Korean COPD Patients.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the rates and risk factors for critical inhaler errors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Asian population in Korea.

Comparing the efficacy and safety of salmeterol/fluticasone pMDI versus its mono-components, other LABA/ICS pMDIs and salmeterol/fluticasone Diskus in patients with asthma
TL;DR: Pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI) should be the choice of device to administer LABA/ICS maintenance therapy, as it is already being used by the patients for reliever therapy, which may eventually improve patient adherence and compliance.

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.
