RCTs of therapies in severe asthma: poorly generalisable

A new study published in the European Respiratory Journal has found that randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of biological therapies in severe asthma are poorly generalisable, with most patients excluded by outdated disease concepts, despite possessing the targetable trait addressed by the treatment. Read the study here or visit erj.ersjournals.com to browse the issue.

COPD, pulmonary arterial disease and mortality

The current issue of ERJ Open Research includes a study that investigates the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Detection of mild cognitive impairment in OSA

Obstructive sleep apnoea increases the risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. A study in the November issue of the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) characterises the ability of two screening tests, the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, to detect mild cognitive impairment in adults aged 55–85 years with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The study concluded that the Montreal Cognitive Assessment performs best and can be used in the clinical setting (though neuropsychological referral is preferable where neurodegenerative processes are suspected).

The Mechanical Ventilation-Respiratory Distress Observation Scale

Dyspnoea is one of the most distressing sources of discomfort that intensive care unit patients experience. It is also very difficult to assess in intubated patients. A study published in the October issue of the European Respiratory Journal suggests that the Mechanical Ventilation-Respiratory Distress Observation Scale could be of major clinical relevance, and would make the evaluation of breathing comfort possible in critically ill, noncommunicative patients.

Bronchiectasis - available now!

Although it is a hot topic in respiratory medicine, there is a lack of knowledge about bronchiectasis in terms of the research performed, clinical management, classification and patient treatment. Bronchiectasis is also very complex as it can be caused by multiple underlying disorders, meaning its clinical presentation is highly diverse. The latest ERS Monograph tackles these issues by providing a series of chapters from recognised experts covering: clinical management, service delivery, pathophysioogy, microbiology and underlying disorders. It also addresses the challenges faced in clinical trials and the need for drug development. Read the book online here or visit the online bookshop to buy your printed copy.

Pulmonary hypertension and neurofibromatosis type 1

The September issue of the European Respiratory Review features an interesting series article on pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a rare but severe complication of neurofibromatosis type 1. The article suggests that as there are no data available on the efficacy of specific PH treatment, patients should be evaluated in expert centres and referred for lung transplantation at an early stage. To read this article and many others on bronchiectasis, lung cancer, noninvasive ventilation and COPD, visit err.ersjournals.com

Pharmacist-led intervention can improve medication adherence in asthma

Over 300 million people worldwide have asthma, a figure that is set to increase by 100 million by 2025. Adherence to inhaled preventive asthma medication is suboptimal in >50% of people with asthma, and the Lancet Asthma Commission has called for more effective methods of addressing non-adherence. A review and meta-analysis published in the August issue of the European Respiratory Journal addresses this point and suggests that, with adequate renumeration and integration into care, pharmacists can help improve medication adherence in asthma. Read the study here or visit erj.ersjournals.com to access other papers in the issue.

OSA and liver stiffness

A study published in the June issue of the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) has assessed the relationship between the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and the liver stiffness measurement (a screening tool used for liver fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). The study found that in patients with metabolic comorbidities, severe OSA was independently associated with increased liver stiffness. This may lead to a higher risk of liver disease and a poor prognosis. Read the study in full here or access the June ERJ at erj.ersjournals.com

ERJ Open Research: spacer devices for inhaled therapy

In the current issue of ERJ Open Research, Walter Vinken and colleagues review the use of spacer devices for inhaled therapy. They conclude that every patient treated with a pressurised metered-dose inhaler should own and regularly use a spacer or valved holding chamber, and know how to use it properly, both for routine preventer therapy and in an emergency. Vinken and colleagues also reiterate practical recommendations for correct usage and maintenance. Read the article here or visit openres.ersjournals.com to access the issue in full.

Clinical Exercise Testing - available now!

In the last 10 years, the use of clinical exercise testing in respiratory medicine has grown significantly and, if used in the appropriate context, it has been demonstrated to provide clinically useful information. However, as its implementation and interpretation can be complicated, it should be used alongside previous medical evaluation and should be interpreted with the results of these additional tests in mind. The latest ERS Monograph on Clinical Exercise Testing provides a comprehensive update on the contemporary uses of exercise testing to answer clinically relevant questions in respiratory medicine. Read the book online here or visit the online bookshop to buy your printed copy.
