Predicting outcomes following hospitalization for acute exacerbations of COPD.
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are a frequent cause of hospital admission and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, high readmission rates and high resource utilization. More accurate prediction of survival and readmission in patients hospitalized with AECOPD should help to optimize clinical management and allocation of resources, including...
متن کاملPredicting the outcome from NIV for acute exacerbations of COPD.
The use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the management of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is now supported by a number of randomised controlled trials. It has been shown to reduce intubation rates, 3–5 mortality, 2–5 and length of stay. 4 It has the advantage that it can be applied intermittently, avoids the need for sedation, and allows the patient to e...
متن کاملThe inflammasome pathway in stable COPD and acute exacerbations
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by pulmonary and systemic inflammation that bursts during exacerbations of the disease (ECOPD). The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key regulatory molecule of the inflammatory response. Its role in COPD is unclear. We investigated the NLRP3 inflammasome status in: 1) lung tissue samples from 38 patients with stable COPD, 15 smokers with norm...
متن کاملExpiratory central airway collapse in stable COPD and during exacerbations
BACKGROUND Tracheal obstruction resulting from expiratory tracheal deformation has been associated with respiratory symptoms and severe airway exacerbations. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute exacerbations (AECOPD) create large intrathoracic pressure swings which may increase tracheal deformation. Excessive central airway collapse (ECAC) may be diagnosed when the tracheal a...
متن کاملClinical determinants of exacerbations in severe, early-onset COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations impair health. The present authors analysed participants in the Boston Early-Onset COPD Study for familial aggregation and propensity for COPD exacerbations. In the present study, two exacerbation outcomes, episodes of cough and phlegm, and frequent exacerbations were analysed with multivariable modelling and generalised estimating equa...
