European Respiratory Society guidelines for the diagnosis of asthma in adults

Renaud Louis et al.

Summary: This article discusses the challenges faced in diagnosing asthma in adults and the recommendations provided by a taskforce set up by the European Respiratory Society. The taskforce emphasizes the importance of spirometry in the initial diagnosis and suggests further tests if obstruction is not detected. They also highlight the value of phenotyping and taking into account the patient's experience in the diagnostic process.

The Impact of an Electronic Health Record Intervention on Spirometry Completion in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Christine Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of electronic health record interventions on referral and completion rates of spirometry in patients diagnosed with COPD. The findings showed that the interventions resulted in higher referral and completion rates of spirometry and reduced misclassification of disease.

The Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 Pneumonia on the Pulmonary Function of Survivors

Ayad Mohammed Salem et al.

Summary: The research aimed to explore the long-term impact of COVID-19 pneumonia on lung function after three months from recovery. The study found that post-COVID-19 subjects showed significant reductions in lung capacity and diffusing capacity, with 50% of cases exhibiting restrictive lung impairment. Long-term follow-up of lung function in post-COVID-19 survivors is recommended.

Prevalence of overuse of short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA) and associated factors among patients with asthma in Germany

Heinrich Worth et al.

Summary: The prevalence of SABA overuse among asthma patients in Germany is high across all GINA steps, indicating suboptimal asthma control. Patients treated by general practitioners, in GINA steps 4 and 5, and male patients are more likely to overuse SABA. Further studies are needed to explore the reasons behind SABA overuse.
