E pluribus plurima: Multidimensional indices and clinical phenotypes in COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disorder of the respiratory system characterized by progressive and only partially reversible airflow obstruction, due to a varying combination of large (bronchitis) and small airways (small airway disease) damage, and lung parenchymal and vascular destruction [1]. We prefer the term obstruction to airflow limitation because the latter is a phys...
متن کاملCOPD management: role of symptom assessment in routine clinical practice
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) present with a variety of symptoms that significantly impair health-related quality of life. Despite this, COPD treatment and its management are mainly based on lung function assessments. There is increasing evidence that conventional lung function measures alone do not correlate well with COPD symptoms and their associated impact on pa...
متن کاملPrognostic indices in clinical practice.
PROGNOSTIC INDICES ARE USED EXTENSIVELY IN CLINIcal research and health service quality reviews to adjust for patients’ severity of illness. Given their ubiquitous use in clinical studies, it seems surprising that prognostic indices are rarely used in clinical practice. Such disregard seems to persist even if a prognostic index addresses an important outcome, is derived by rigorous methods, and...
متن کاملClinical Neuropathology practice news 1-2014: Pyrosequencing meets clinical and analytical performance criteria for routine testing of MGMT promoter methylation status in glioblastoma
Testing of the MGMT promoter methylation status in glioblastoma is relevant for clinical decision making and research applications. Two recent and independent phase III therapy trials confirmed a prognostic and predictive value of the MGMT promoter methylation status in elderly glioblastoma patients. Several methods for MGMT promoter methylation testing have been proposed, but seem to be of lim...
متن کاملExternal validation of multidimensional prognostic indices (ADO, BODEx and DOSE) in a primary care international cohort (PROEPOC/COPD cohort)
BACKGROUND Due to the heterogeneous and systemic nature of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the new guidelines are oriented toward individualized attention. Multidimensional scales could facilitate its proper clinical and prognostic assessment, but not all of them were validated in an international primary care cohort, different from the original ones used for model development...
