A new framework for assessing the severity of COPD exacerbations has been published by the ERS Clinical Research Collaboration, @CICERO_CRC📋
The framework represents an important step forward in understanding and classifying COPD exacerbations.
Read more below
A European consortium of researchers has developed a new decision making framework for health professionals which they hope will transform the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (#COPD).
Dr Neil Greening from @Leic_hospital & @uniofleicester together with CICERO colleagues developed a novel multidimensional framework designed to predict exacerbation severity and prognostic risk.
The model incorporates three domains: Baseline functional status (B), Acuity of the event (A), and the Trigger (t) driving the episode. By integrating these elements using routinely collected clinical data, the BAt classification offers a structured approach to characterising exacerbations beyond traditional metrics.
Funded by #NIHRLeicesterBRC, @EuroRespSoc published in @TheLancet Respiratory Medicine & presented at the @BTSrespiratory Winter Conference today!

Two million children in the UK live with asthma. Well-managed asthma should mean no symptoms, but poor control can have a huge impact. We're pleased a combination inhaler is now licensed for ages six to 11 and look forward to the results.

This is not a Flutiform inhaler and gives the impression a blue salbutamol inhaler is being recalled.
