The effect of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the risk of osteoporosis and fracture in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess this risk in patients with COPD.Electronic medical record data linked to National Health Registries were collected from COPD patients and matched reference controls at 52 Swedish primary care centres from 2000 to 2014. The outcomes analysed were the effect of ICS on all fractures, fractures typically related to osteoporosis, recorded osteoporosis diagnosis, prescriptions of drugs for osteoporosis and a combined measure of any osteoporosis-related event. The COPD patients were stratified by the level of ICS exposure.A total of 9651 patients with COPD and 59 454 matched reference controls were analysed. During the follow-up, 19.9% of COPD patients had at least one osteoporosis-related event compared with 12.9% of reference controls (p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis in the COPD population demonstrated a dose-effect relationship, with high-dose ICS being significantly associated with any osteoporosis-related event (risk ratio 1.52 (95% CI 1.24-1.62)), while the corresponding estimate for low-dose ICS was 1.27 (95% CI 1.13-1.56) compared with COPD patients not using ICS. A similar dose-related adverse effect was found for all four of the specific osteoporosis-related events: all fractures, fractures typically related to osteoporosis, prescriptions of drugs for osteoporosis and diagnosis of osteoporosis.We conclude that patients with COPD have a greater risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis, and high-dose ICS use increased this risk further.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease outpatients bear risks of both unplanned weight loss and obesity.

Background & Aims: Malnutrition is commonly seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has been associated with negative outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine unintended weight loss (UWL) within three months, as a primary indicator for disease related malnutrition among COPD outpatients, to evaluate the prevalence of UWL, and to identify possible characteristics for UWL.

Methods: A cross-sectional study including a patient questionnaire and medical record data extraction was made with all patients visiting a Danish COPD outpatient clinic. Read More

J Clin Lab Anal 2022 May 27:e24516. Epub 2022 May 27.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University, Xiamen, China.

Background: Long noncoding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (lnc-SNHG16) regulates sepsis-induced acute lung injury and inflammation, which is involved in the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study intended to explore the role of lnc-SNHG16 as a potential biomarker indicating ARDS risk, disease severity, inflammation, and mortality in sepsis.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were collected from 160 sepsis patients within 24 hours after admission and 30 healthy controls (HCs). Read More

Aim: This study protocol aims to examine the effectiveness and preconditions of a self-management program-named REducing Delay through edUcation on eXacerbations (REDUX)-in China.

Background: The high disease burden in people with chronic lung disease is mainly due to exacerbations. There is a need for effective exacerbation-management interventions. Read More

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is highly prevalent in the elderly population and typically reduces overall quality of life. Exacerbations of COPD are commonly treated with corticosteroids, a class of drug known to cause insulin resistance. The objective of this study was to assess the rate of exacerbations requiring emergency room visits, hospitalizations or any medical encounter (a combination of emergency room and hospitalizations) between COPD patients who did and did not develop type 2 diabetes.
