Clinical implications of blood eosinophil count in patients with non-asthma–COPD overlap syndrome COPD
BACKGROUND Recent studies that assessed the relevance of the blood eosinophil count as a biomarker in patients with COPD may have overestimated it because they included patients with asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS). We investigated the clinical implications of the blood eosinophil count in patients with non-ACOS COPD. PATIENTS AND METHODS From a Korean COPD Subtype Study (KOCOSS) cohort, ...
متن کاملComparison of in-hospital mortality in patients with COPD, asthma and asthma-COPD overlap exacerbations.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Obstructive airway diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have airflow limitation associated with chronic inflammation. Using a national inpatient database in Japan, we aimed to evaluate factors affecting in-hospital mortality in patients with asthma, COPD or asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). METHODS We retrospectively collected data for i...
متن کاملLongitudinal changes in clinical outcomes in older patients with asthma, COPD and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome.
BACKGROUND The progression of obstructive airway diseases (OADs) including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome in older adults is not well understood. OBJECTIVE To examine the prognosis of OADs and to identify potential determinants for longitudinal changes in clinical outcomes. METHODS We consecutively recruited 99 older adults (>55 years) ...
متن کاملCOPD assessment test and severity of airflow limitation in patients with asthma, COPD, and asthma–COPD overlap syndrome
OBJECTIVE The COPD assessment test (CAT) consists of eight nonspecific scores of quality of life. The aim of this study was to compare the health-related quality of life and severity of airflow limitation in patients with asthma, COPD, and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS) using the CAT. METHODS We examined CAT and lung functions in 138 patients with asthma, 99 patients with COPD, 51 patien...
متن کاملFavorable longitudinal change of lung function in patients with asthma-COPD overlap from a COPD cohort
BACKGROUND The recognition of asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) as a distinct phenotype of COPD or asthma has increased. Although ACO has worse clinical features than non-ACO COPD, limited information is available on long-term outcomes of lung function decline for ACO and non-ACO COPD. METHODS COPD patients with at least 3 years of follow-up were selected from ...
