Once-daily indacaterol versus tiotropium for patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (INVIGORATE): a randomised, blinded, parallel-group study

TLDR
Indacaterol and tiotropium provided clinically relevant improvements in lung function with comparable safety profiles and the present data offer evidence consistent with current guidelines.

Prevention of Exacerbations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Knowns and Unknowns.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to discuss knowns and unknowns in the current understanding of exacerbations, what known factors increase their risk, and how to best prevent them.

Pharmacological treatment optimization for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Proposals from the Société de Pneumologie de Langue Française

TL;DR: Any COPD diagnosis, based on pulmonary function tests, should lead to recommend smoking cessation, vaccinations, physical activity, pulmonary rehabilitation in case of activity limitation, and short-acting bronchodilators, according to the severity of the disease.

[Translated article] Spanish COPD guidelines (GesEPOC) 2021: Updated pharmacological treatment of stable COPD

TL;DR: The Spanish COPD Guidelines (GesEPOC) were first published in 2012, and since then have undergone a series of updates incorporating new evidence on the diagnosis and treatment of COPD as discussed by the authors .

Effect of tiotropium on COPD exacerbations: A systematic review

TL;DR: Tiotropium was associated with a longer time to first exacerbation event and fewer exacerbations (including severe exacerbations/hospitalizations) compared with placebo and long-acting β2-agonists, and showed similar efficacy to glycopyrronium and a fixed long- acting muscarinic antagonist/long-actingβ2-agonist combination.

Standardisation of spirometry

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Standardation of LUNG FUNCTION TESTing” that combines “situational awareness” and “machine learning” to solve the challenge of integrating nanofiltration into the energy system.

A self-complete measure of health status for chronic airflow limitation. The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

TL;DR: The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a valid measure of impaired health in diseases of chronic airflow limitation that is repeatable and sensitive andMultivariate analysis demonstrated that SGRQ scores summed a number of areas of disease activity.

The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

TL;DR: The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a standardized self-completed questionnaire for measuring impaired health and perceived well-being in airways disease and the background and rationale for its development are discussed together with an analysis of its performance.

Relationship between exacerbation frequency and lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that the frequency of exacerbations contributes to long term decline in lung function of patients with moderate to severe COPD.
