In COPD, exacerbations are believed to hasten loss of lung function and prevention of exacerbations is now an important outcome measure in studies of new therapeutics in both diseases. This will need to be further studied and standardized as far as automated algorithms for calculation of emphysema and small airway disease and its practical application globally. … Airway-predominant and emphysema-predominant subtypes are highly important in determining patterns of early disease progression.

An exacerbation of COPD is defined as an acute event characterized by a worsening of the patient’s respiratory symptoms that is beyond normal day-to-day variations and leads to a change in medication ( 47 – 49 ). Kuangyu Chen Published at : 24 Dec 2020 . These expanded criteria offer the potential to stimulate both current and future interventions that could slow or halt disease progression in patients before disability or irreversible lung structural changes develop. This study demonstrates the utility of incorporating the 4 significant features of exposure, symptoms, CT scan characterization of emphysema and airway wall thickening and physiological measures of lung function. Barnes NC, Sharma R, Lettis S, Calverley PMA. The MR-APD-only group was associated with conversion from GOLD 0 to preserved ratio-impaired spirometry (PRISm) status (odds ratio [OR] 11.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.7-22.1) and GOLD 0 to GOLD 2-4 (OR 6.0, 95% CI 2.0-18.0). Thank you for your interest in advertising in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation. The reintroduction of the FEV1, as a separate scale from the ABCD paradigm, acknowledges that the FEV1 confers greater refinement in classification of the COPD patient and their treatment options rather than simply being a surrogate measurement for risk of frequent exacerbations. 84 0 obj

Mehta R, Pefani E, Beerahee M, et al. Sputum eosinophils were studied to see if they helped predict good responders to ICSs and to the TH-2 biologics17-22 for treating patients with COPD or so-called asthma/COPD overlap. For Group D the initiating therapy could be LAMA or LAMA/LABA if the patient is particularly symptomatic or ICS/LABA if the blood eosinophil count is greater than 300 cells/MCL. These findings support the concept that, for at least certain interventions, early detection and commencement of therapy may lead to better long-term outcomes rather than waiting for further progression to occur before initiating treatment. In the past few years, there has been some jockeying in the placement of ICSs within the GOLD treatment paradigm.

Chronic Obstr Pulm Dis. The COPD Genetic Epidemiology study (COPDGene®) is a cohort of current and former smokers, > 45 years, with at least 10 pack years of smoking history. Individuals could express increased risk for mortality on one or both of the primary subtype axes (airway-predominant or emphysema-predominant) and thus they were further classified into 6 groups: high-risk airway-predominant disease only (APD-only), moderate-risk airway-predominant disease only (MR-APD-only), high-risk emphysema-predominant disease only (EPD-only), combined high-risk airway- and emphysema-predominant disease (combined APD-EPD), combined moderate-risk airway- and emphysema-predominant disease (combined MR-APD-EPD), and no high-risk pulmonary subtype.

Ultimately, the goal of such documents is to educate health care providers and the public about the deleterious effects of cigarette smoke (and other potential harmful inhalant exposures) and lay out comprehensive strategies to prevent the development and progression of disease. Chronic Obstr Pulm Dis. Mortality is also being tracked. (expired Jul. Pulmonary subtypes exhibit differential global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease spirometry stage progression: the COPDGene study. This study also pointed out the benefits of smoking cessation leading to reduced progression for patients at early stages such as GOLD 0 and GOLD 1. Available from: https ... Ingebrigtsen TS, et al. These groups were also assessed for causal mortality. Chronic Obstr Pulm Dis. Moving to a definition of COPD that incorporates not only lung function, but also structural changes noted on CT scans will enable us to select patients with greater precision for clinical trials to test these newer medicines. High-risk subtype classification was defined for 2638 COPDGene® participants who were in the highest 2 deciles of either the airway-predominant and/or emphysema-predominant axis (32% of the cohort). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), projected to be the third leading cause of death by 2020, accounts for 6% of deaths globally. Ann Intern Med. Among current and former smokers, individuals in the highest 2 deciles for mortality risk on the airway-predominant axis and the emphysema-predominant axis have unique associations to spirometric patterns, different imaging characteristics, biomarkers and causal mortality. ERJ Open Res. New official guidelines have been published by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DPI Dry powder inhaler . COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease . Interestingly, 3 papers from theCOPDGene® study group were published in a Special Issue of this Journal—Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation—in November 2019.27-29 The papers present thought-provoking data compelling us to rethink whether our current definition, diagnostic criteria, and characterization of patients with COPD is adequate to optimally care for this patient population. After accounting for intra-individual measurement variability in spirometry measures between baseline (Phase 1) and the 5-year follow up (Phase 2) of the COPD Genetic Epidemiology (COPDGene®) study, 4615 individuals had complete data that would characterize patterns of disease progression over 5 years (2033 non-Hispanic whites; 827 African Americans; 48% female). The rationale has been that, while these abnormalities may indicate that these individuals are susceptible to lung injury related to cigarette smoking or other injurious inhalants, (biomass fuels for example), there is little evidence that our current treatment options have much impact on their symptoms or progression of their disease. Symptoms are assessed using the Modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC) or COPD assessment test (CAT) scale.

A new table has been added that provides a clearer outline of the decision factors to be used to decide on the use of ICSs and indicates that the strongest support is history of at least 1 hospitalization or at least 2 moderate exacerbations for COPD exacerbations or at least moderate exacerbations per year and blood eosinophil count > 300 cell/mcL and history of/or current concomitant asthma. Conversion between PRISm and GOLD 2-4 (31%-38%) occurred in both the APD-only and the MR-APD-only groups.

Blood eosinophils as a marker of response to inhaled corticosteroids in COPD. With the data generated from this study and the papers that are being published, we are able to more clearly phenotype individuals who have significant smoking histories and indeed, pose a compelling argument for revisiting our current GOLD definition of COPD that has been the accepted standard for almost 20 years. Yang M, Du Y, Chen H, Jiang D, Xu Z. The COPDGene® cohort is highly enriched with heavy smokers (average of approximately 50 pack years) with airflow limitation and therefore the findings, including associations and projections, may not be universally applicable to those with lower cigarette, (or biomass), exposure or non-smokers who demonstrate airflow limitation. New guidelines for the management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) were released by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and the Lung Foundation Australia in 2020. Tuberc Respir Dis (Seoul). New to the 2020 GOLD guidelines are treatment escalation pathways depending on whether the patient has had an exacerbation or dyspnea is not improving or worsening. Using these 4 disease characteristics, 8 categories of participants were identified and evaluated for odds of spirometric disease progression (FEV1 > 350 ml loss over 5 years), and the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was examined.

COPD diagnosis is confirmed based on FEV1/FVC post bronchodilator ratio <0.70 whereas FEV1 alone is now limited The GOLD2019 report, provided greater refinement of its ABCD paradigm by revisiting the utility of combining the ABCD classification scheme (symptoms and exacerbation frequency) with a separate scale for spirometry, Grades 1-4.2 For example, a patient with a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of 25%, a COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score of 25 and 2 exacerbations in the past 12 months would be a 4-D patient and triple therapy would be recommended, whereas a patient with an FEV1 of 30% but no exacerbations and a CAT score of 25 would be a 4-B and may warrant consideration for long-acting beta2-agonists/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LABA/LAMA) without an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and could be considered for lung volume reduction or lung transplant due to severe emphysema and or significant small airway disease and air trapping. The new year dawns with new guidelines.Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD 2020) has some major and few minor changes to offer for the management of COPD. Niewoehner DE, Rice K, Cote C, et al. It has been proposed as a means to improve the precision of determining treatment options for COPD patients. The rationale for this shift relates to concerns regarding ICS adverse effects, particularly, their higher association with lower respiratory tract infections,3 in addition to evidence that LAMAs (with or without a LABA) were capable of reducing exacerbations in a subset of COPD patients who had at least 1 exacerbation in the previous 12 months.4-12 More recent large-scale studies such as the IMPACT and FULFIL trials have revisited the role of ICSs in the reduction of exacerbations,13-15 (suggesting the reduction is superior to LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS in patients who have 2 or more exacerbations, but also, with respect to the IMPACT trial, reexamining the potential mortality benefit related to ICSs).16.
