Abstract
Non-smoking COPD is common in LMICs, especially in women. Biomass fuel and air pollution are major risk factors with distinct pathophysiology. The 'eosinophilic' endotype in COPD is biologically distinct from asthma. PRISm, FEV1/FVC Z-scores, and quantitative CT improve early COPD detection. Dupilumab (anti-IL-4/IL-13) improved exacerbations and lung function in COPD with blood eosinophils ≥ 300 cells/μL. Mechanisms are currently being investigated. Smoking cessation remains pivotal. Nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) can guide pharmacotherapy. Cytisine and varenicline are effective; e-cigarettes pose safety concerns. Mood disorders and dysfunctional breathing are common in COPD. Addressing these can reduce symptom burden and improve quality of life. Comorbidity management, particularly of cardiovascular risk, obesity, and sleep-disordered breathing, is integral to holistic COPD care.
期刊介绍:
Respirology is a journal of international standing, publishing peer-reviewed articles of scientific excellence in clinical and clinically-relevant experimental respiratory biology and disease. Fields of research include immunology, intensive and critical care, epidemiology, cell and molecular biology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, paediatric respiratory medicine, clinical trials, interventional pulmonology and thoracic surgery.
The Journal aims to encourage the international exchange of results and publishes papers in the following categories: Original Articles, Editorials, Reviews, and Correspondences.
Respirology is the preferred journal of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand, has been adopted as the preferred English journal of the Japanese Respiratory Society and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and is an official journal of the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology.
