In patients with COPD, how do levels of physical capacity and physical activity relate to all-cause mortality?
Prevalence of Chronic Conditions Increased Among Cancer Survivors
Increase also seen in prevalence of multiple chronic conditions for cancer survivors, which was most pronounced among those aged 18 to 44 years.
Associations Found Between HIV Infection and Impaired Pulmonary Gas Exchange
Investigators assessed the relationship between HIV infection and impaired pulmonary gas exchange, as well as the influence HIV has on the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide in patients with and without comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Dedicated Inhaler Technique Reduces Exacerbations in COPD and Asthma
Does teaching proper technique for inhaler use to COPD and asthma patients measurably affect their health outcomes?
Nebulized Revefenacin for COPD Appears More Effective in Women vs Men
Researchers conducted subgroup analysis of revenfenacin phase 3 trial data to assess health status improvements in women vs men with moderate to severe COPD.
Asthma, Smoking, Chronic Sinusitis Tied to Early COPD Risk
Large study of Hispanic adults shows association with risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease before age 50.
Asthma, COPD Tied to Worse COVID-19 Outcomes
Individuals should continue to receive asthma care and take asthma medications during the pandemic.
Exploring the Use of Omics to Eliminate Sex and Gender Differences in COPD
Although it has become widely accepted that COPD encompasses a range of phenotypes, the development of a precision medicine approach has been slow.
Asthma, COPD Do Not Increase Mortality Risk in Patients With COVID-19
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) do not appear to increase the risk of mortality in patients with COVID-19.
Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Matter Increases CV Mortality Risk in COPD
In adults with COPD, long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular mortality.
Indoor Mold Exposure, Anti-Aspergillus Antibodies May Hold Clinical Implications for COPD
Indoor mold exposure and the presence of anti-Aspergillus antibodies may be linked to worsened lung function during exacerbations in COPD.
ACA Improved Uninsurance Rates in COPD and Asthma, but Not Affordability
While the ACA effectively reversed coverage losses for patients with airway disease, neither care affordability nor disparities improved for these patients.
E-Cigarette Use May Increase COPD Risk
Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use may be associated with an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Duration-dependent beneficial effects of metformin, sulfonylurea, and thiazolidinedione use on COPD exacerbation have been observed in patients with COPD and diabetes.
Reduced All-Cause Mortality in COPD With Budesonide/ Glycopyrrolate/ Formoterol
Triple therapy with budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate may reduce the risk of death compared with glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate in patients with COPD.
Inhaled Corticosteroid Therapy May Reduce Lung Function Decline in COPD
The adjusted rate of decline in predose trough FEV1 during 52 weeks in theResearchers used a substudy of the Phase 3 ETHOS study to evaluate lung function decline in patients with inhaled corticosteroid-containing therapies vs glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate metered dose inhaler.
Revefenacin Plus Formoterol Via Nebulization Improves Lung Function Response in COPD
Once-daily revefenacin when administered via a jet nebulizer with formoterol was well tolerated and associated with greater lung function response compared with formoterol alone in patients with COPD.
