Background Low physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. To inform the design of a home-based physical activity promotion program for patients with COPD recently discharged from a minority-serving hospital, we conducted a cohort study to evaluate objectively measured daily physical activity and patient-reported outcomes. Methods This was a 12-week prospective cohort study of patients with a physician diagnosis of COPD recently hospitalized (≤ 12 weeks) for respiratory symptoms. Daily physical activity was recorded using wrist-based and "clip-on" pedometers, and analyzed as mean daily step counts averaged over 7 days. Results Twenty-two patients were enrolled a median (interquartile range, [IQR]) of 14 (7 to 29) days after hospital discharge. The median daily step count (IQR) in the first week after enrollment (week 1) was 3710 (1565 to 5129) steps. The median within-person change in daily step count (IQR) from week 1 to week 12 was 314 (-30 to 858) steps (p=0.28). Within-person correlation of week-to-week daily step counts was high (r ≥ 0.75). Time from hospital discharge to enrollment was not correlated with mean daily step counts on week 1 (r= -0.13) and only weakly correlated with change in mean daily step counts from week 1 to week 12 (r=0.37). Conclusions Daily physical activity was variable in this cohort of recently hospitalized patients with COPD, but with little within-person change over a 12-week period. These observations highlight the need for flexible physical activity promotion programs addressing the needs of a heterogeneous patient population.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI) Division of Lung Diseases is celebrating its 50th anniversary. On this occasion, we are reviewing the major landmark clinical trials that were initiated by the NHLBI's Division of Lung Disease and that have had substantial impact on our understanding of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and how it is best treated. Although some of these trials did not show hypothesized treatment benefits for COPD, they have enabled clinicians to provide care for individuals with COPD relying on the most rigorous evidence. The 5 trials that are reviewed here are: the Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing Trial, the Nocturnal Oxygen Treatment Trial, the Lung Health Study, the National Emphysema Treatment Trial, and the Long-term Oxygen Treatment Trial. These clinical trials have not only set the standards for COPD care but have served as models for the state-of-the-art conduct of clinical research in COPD.

Our understanding of the epidemiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including such metrics as incidence, prevalence, risk factors, outcome, and comorbidities has increased greatly over the past 50 years. Much of this increase is attributable to National Heart Blood and Lung Institute (NHLBI)-sponsored studies. This paper will review 13 of these key studies and their contribution to our understanding of COPD in the last half century.

Asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) is a common clinical syndrome, yet there is no single objective definition. We hypothesized that immunoglobulin E (IgE) measurements could be used to refine the definition of ACO. In baseline plasma samples from 2870 participants in the COPD Genetic Epidemiology (COPDGene®) study, we measured total IgE levels and specific IgE levels to 6 common allergens. Compared to usual chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), participants with ACO (based on self-report of asthma) had higher total IgE levels (median 67.0 versus 42.2 IU/ml) and more frequently had at least one positive specific IgE (43.5% versus 24.5%). We previously used a strict definition of ACO in participants with COPD, based on self-report of a doctor's diagnosis of asthma before age 40. This strict ACO definition was refined by the presence of atopy, determined by total IgE > 100 IU/ml or at least one positive specific IgE, as was the broader definition of ACO based on self-reported asthma history. Participants with all 3 ACO definitions were younger (mean age 60.0-61.3 years), were more commonly African American (36.8%-44.2%), had a higher exacerbation frequency (1.0-1.2 in the past year), and had more airway wall thickening on quantitative analysis of chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Among participants with ACO, 37%-46% did not have atopy; these individuals had more emphysema on chest CT scan. Based on associations with exacerbations and CT airway disease, IgE did not clearly improve the clinical definition of ACO. However, IgE measurements could be used to subdivide individuals with atopic and non-atopic ACO, who might have different biologic mechanisms and potential treatments.

COPD Genetic Epidemiology Study (COPDGene®) manuscripts have provided important insights into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathophysiology and outcomes, including a better understanding of COPD phenotypes relating computed tomography (CT) anatomic data to spirometric and patient-reported outcomes. Spirometry significantly underdiagnoses smoking-induced lung disease, and there is a marked improvement in sensitivity and specificity with CT scanning. This review also highlights the COPDGene® exploration of specific spirometry phenotypes (e.g.,PRISm), contributors to spirometric decline, composite physiologic measures, asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) syndrome, consequences of bronchodilator responsiveness, newer methods to assess small airway dysfunction, and spirometric correlates of comorbid diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Introduction Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increasingly receive combination bronchodilator therapies. Real world evidence for the benefits of combination therapy compared to monotherapy is lacking. Methods COPD patients aged ≥ 40 years initiating monotherapy (MT) with either a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) or long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) or dual therapy (DT) with a LAMA/LABA fixed dose combination (FDC) between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016 were identified from a large U.S. administrative claims database. Patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or asthma were excluded. Cohorts were propensity score matched 1:1 using baseline measures (e.g., exacerbations, hospitalizations) as proxies for COPD severity to create balanced cohorts. Results Following propensity score matching (PSM), 1286 patients remained in each cohort for analysis. Patients were followed for approximately 1 year. Patients in the DT versus MT cohort had lower rates of exacerbations leading to hospitalization (incidence rate ratio 0.7886; p=0.019), lower mean COPD-related pharmacy costs per patient per month (PPPM) ($300 versus $379, respectively; p<0.001) and total costs PPPM ($990 versus $1203, respectively; p=0.003). This occurred despite lower mean COPD-related pharmacy fills PPPM in the DT versus MT cohorts (1.41 versus 1.51, respectively; p=0.038). Patients in the DT cohort had lower rates of switching (p<0.001) and augmentation (p<0.001), and higher rates of non-persistence (p<0.001) versus the MT cohort. Rates of discontinuation were similar. Conclusions Patients in the DT cohort had lower rates of exacerbations leading to hospitalization, lower COPD-related pharmacy and total costs PPPM, and lower rates of switching and augmentation compared to patients in the MT cohort.

Background Metered dose inhalers (MDIs) are commonly prescribed for inhalation therapy, but correct use is critical to promoting effective medication delivery. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis evaluates the overall and step-by-step prevalence of errors among adults with obstructive lung diseases in the United States who used MDIs. Methods Electronic and manual searches conducted between 1979-2018 using PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane, and Google identified 10 articles that met the following inclusion criteria: (a) English language, (b) U.S. adults diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and (c) MDI use error rates. Meta-analytic techniques using random-effects models were applied to calculate effect sizes, weighted proportions, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Heterogeneity was assessed by the I2 statistic. Results Aggregate findings revealed that 86.7% of patients (n=390, 95% CI 77.5-96.0) made at least 1 inhalation technique error, and 76.9% (n=885, 95% CI 65.8-87.9) incorrectly performed ≥ 20% of device use steps. The most prevalent step-by-step errors across the studies (n=1105) were failure to: (a) exhale fully and away from the inhaler before inhalation (65.5% [95% CI 52.0, 78.9]); (b) hold breath for 5-10 seconds (41.9% [95% CI 29.8, 53.9]); (c) inhale slowly and deeply (39.4% [95% CI 26.2, 52.5]); (d) exhale after inhalation (35.9% [95% CI 17.0, 54.8]); and (e) shake the inhaler before use (34.2% [95% CI 30.6, 37.7]). Conclusions Across the studies used in this meta-analysis more than three-fourths of U.S. adults with obstructive lung diseases used MDIs incorrectly. Our findings suggest the need for ongoing patient education and consideration of alternative devices to mitigate errors.
背景:计量吸入器(MDIs)通常用于吸入治疗,但正确使用对于促进有效的药物传递至关重要。本系统的文献综述和荟萃分析评估了美国使用MDIs的成人阻塞性肺疾病患者的总体和逐步患病率。方法在1979-2018年期间使用PubMed、EMBASE、PsycINFO、Cochrane和Google进行电子和手动检索,确定了10篇符合以下纳入标准的文章:(a)英语,(b)诊断为慢性阻塞性肺病的美国成年人,(c) MDI使用错误率。采用随机效应模型的元分析技术计算效应大小、加权比例和95%置信区间(ci)。采用I2统计量评估异质性。结果86.7%的患者(n=390, 95% CI 77.5-96.0)至少出现1次吸入技术错误,76.9%的患者(n=885, 95% CI 65.8-87.9)错误执行≥20%的器械使用步骤。研究中最常见的逐步错误(n=1105)是未能:(a)在吸入前充分呼气并远离吸入器(65.5% [95% CI 52.0, 78.9]);(b)屏气5-10秒(41.9% [95% CI 29.8, 53.9]);(c)缓慢深吸气(39.4% [95% CI 26.2, 52.5]);(d)吸气后呼气(35.9% [95% CI 17.0, 54.8]);(e)使用前摇晃吸入器(34.2% [95% CI 30.6, 37.7])。在本荟萃分析中使用的研究中,超过四分之三患有阻塞性肺病的美国成年人错误地使用了MDIs。我们的研究结果表明,需要对患者进行持续的教育,并考虑使用替代设备来减少错误。

Background Lung cancer screening (LCS) via chest computed tomography (CT) scans can save lives by identifying early-stage tumors. However, most smokers die of comorbid smoking-related diseases. LCS scans contain information about smoking-related conditions that is not currently systematically assessed. Identifying these common comorbid diseases on CT could increase the value of screening with minimal impact on LCS programs. We determined the prevalence of 3 comorbid diseases from LCS eligible scans and quantified related adverse outcomes. Methods We studied COPD Genetic Epidemiology study (COPDGene®) participants (n=4078) who met criteria for LCS screening at enrollment (age > 55 years, and < 80 years, > 30 pack years smoking, current smoker or former smoker within 15 years of smoking cessation). CT scans were assessed for coronary artery calcification (CAC), emphysema, and vertebral bone density. We tracked the following clinically significant events: myocardial infarctions (MIs), strokes, pneumonia, respiratory exacerbations, and hip and vertebral fractures. Results Overall, 77% of eligible CT scans had one or more of these diagnoses identified. CAC (> 100 mg) was identified in 51% of scans, emphysema in 44%, and osteoporosis in 54%. Adverse events related to the underlying smoking-related diseases were common, with 50% of participants reporting at least one. New diagnoses of cardiovascular disease, emphysema and osteoporosis were made in 25%, 7% and 46%, of participants respectively. New diagnosis of disease was associated with significantly more adverse events than in participants who did not have CT diagnoses for both osteoporosis and cardiovascular risk. Conclusions Expanded analysis of LCS CT scans identified individuals with evidence of previously undiagnosed cardiovascular disease, emphysema or osteoporosis that corresponded with adverse events. LCS CT scans can potentially facilitate diagnoses of these smoking-related diseases and provide an opportunity for treatment or prevention.
