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.

Acute bronchodilator responses to β2-agonist and anticholinergic agent in COPD: Their different associations with exacerbation.

TL;DR: Increased cholinergic airway tone, which is reflected in the higher BDR only to anticholinergic agent, but not to β2-agonist, may be associated with exacerbation in COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Olodaterol for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a narrative review.

TL;DR: Olodaterol improves lung function for 24 h and reduces rescue medication use and may also improve dyspnea, exercise tolerance, and health-related quality of life and is well tolerated with an acceptable cardiovascular and respiratory adverse event profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating Comorbidities and Phenotype-Based Medicine in Patient-Centered Medicine in COPD.

TL;DR: Four major dilemmas in the search for a patient-centered approach to COPD management are addressed and how to combine them all in a single easy-to-use strategy is suggested.

Glycopyrronium for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: evidence and rationale for use from the GLOW trials

TL;DR: Glycopyrronium is a useful addition to the treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and had a similar effect on clinical outcomes with a faster onset of action than the long-acting muscarinic antagonist tiotropium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Malnutrition Risk in Lung Transplant Candidates Using the Nutritional Risk Index.

TL;DR: Malnutrition risk assessed with NRI was not prognostic of posttransplant outcomes in this retrospective cohort of lung transplant candidates, and LTx candidates with high malnutrition risk were able to maintain their weight pretransplant and demonstrated considerable weight gain in the first-year post Transplant.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
