BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) demonstrate variable responses to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). The factors contributing to this variability are not well understood. Data from patients with asthma have suggested that low 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels contribute to a lack of ICS response in asthma. The objective of this study was to determine whether...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use affects outcome in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). This was a prospective, observational study of patients with spirometry-confirmed COPD presenting with a primary diagnosis of CAP in Lothian, UK. Outcome measures were compared between IC...
BACKGROUND Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) has played an important role in the management of asthma. Although several kinds of ICSs are currently available, there is no established strategy for ICS selection. METHODS Using the data from the 2004 questionnaire surveys by the Niigata Asthma Treatment Study Group, we analyzed relationships between each patient and the ICS employed on the basis of p...
OBJECTIVE To examine the patient characteristics linked with reduced adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) use. METHODS A prospective study of adult asthmatic patients who were prescribed with ICS and are under regular follow-up at the pulmonary outpatient clinics between June 1st, and December 31st, 2001, at King Fahad National Guard Hospital in Riyadh. All patients underwent structured...
Review of methods for handling confounding by cluster and informative cluster size in clustered data
Clustered data are common in medical research. Typically, one is interested in a regression model for the association between an outcome and covariates. Two complications that can arise when analysing clustered data are informative cluster size (ICS) and confounding by cluster (CBC). ICS and CBC mean that the outcome of a member given its covariates is associated with, respectively, the number ...
BACKGROUND Most randomised clinical trials typically exclude a significant proportion of asthma patients, including those at higher risk of adverse events, with comorbidities, obesity, poor inhaler technique and adherence, or smokers. However, these patients might differentially benefit from extrafine-particle inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). This matched cohort, database study, compared the effe...
some scrutiny, it is unclear if any given ICS has a truly superior therapeutic index. Yet, one thing is apparent. ICS dose-response curves are fairly flat, and low doses of these drugs should suffice for the vast majority of patients that pediatricians will be treating primarily. Furthermore, children treated with medium or high doses of ICS should have pulmonary function monitoring. FP is a pa...
In the present research, we argue for the robustness of illusory correlations (ICs, Hamilton & Gifford, 1976) regarding two boundary conditions suggested in previous research. First, we argue that ICs are maintained under extended experience. Using simulations, we derive conflicting predictions. Whereas noise-based accounts predict ICs to be maintained (Fielder, 2000; Smith, 1991), a prominent ...
