Abstract
In COPD patients, exacerbation has a detrimental influence on the quality of life, disease progression and socioeconomic burden. This study aimed to develop and validate models to predict exacerbation, frequent exacerbations and severe exacerbations in COPD patients. We conducted an observational prospective multicenter study. Clinical data of all outpatients with stable COPD were collected from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and Beijing Renhe Hospital between January 2018 and December 2019. Patients were followed up for 1 year. The data from Chaoyang Hospital was used for modeling dataset, and that of Renhe Hospital was used for external validation dataset. The final dataset included 456 patients, with 326 patients as the model group and 130 patients as the validation group. Using LABA + ICS, frequent exacerbations in the past year and CAT score were independent risk factors for exacerbation in the next year (OR = 2.307, 2.722 and 1.147), and FVC %pred as a protective factor (OR = 0.975). Combined with chronic heart failure, frequent exacerbations in the past year, blood EOS counts and CAT score were independent risk factors for frequent exacerbations in the next year (OR = 4.818, 2.602, 1.015 and 1.342). Using LABA + ICS, combined with chronic heart failure, frequent exacerbations in the past year and CAT score were independent risk factors for severe exacerbations in the next year (OR = 1.950, 3.135, 2.980 and 1.133). Based on these prognostic models, nomograms were generated. The prediction models were simple and useful tools for predicting the risk of exacerbation, frequent exacerbations and severe exacerbations of COPD patients in North China.

Cui Y, Ma Y, Dai Z, Long Y, Chen Y. Does the 2017 global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease revision really improve the assessment of Chinese chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients? A multicenter prospective study for more than 5 years. Chin Med J (Engl) 2023; 136:2587-2595. [PMID: 37367695 PMCID: PMC10617920 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 proposed a new classification that reclassified many chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients from group D to B. However, there is a paucity of data related to the comparison between reclassified and non-reclassified COPD patients in terms of long-term prognosis. This study aimed to investigate long-term outcomes of them and determine whether the GOLD 2017 revision improved the assessment of COPD patients. METHODS This observational, multicenter, prospective study recruited outpatients at 12 tertiary hospitals in China from November 2016 to February 2018 and followed them up until February 2022. All enrolled patients were classified into groups A to D based on GOLD 2017, and the subjects in group B included patients reclassified from group D to B (group DB) and those remaining in group B (group BB). Incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated for the exacerbation of COPD and hospitalization in each group. RESULTS We included and followed up 845 patients. During the first year of follow-up, the GOLD 2017 classification had a better discrimination ability for different risks of COPD exacerbation and hospitalization than GOLD 2013. Group DB was associated with a higher risk of moderate-to-severe exacerbation (HR = 1.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.37-2.59, P <0.001) and hospitalization for COPD exacerbation (HR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.29-3.85, P = 0.004) than group BB. However, during the last year of follow-up, the differences in the risks of frequent exacerbations and hospitalizations between group DB and BB were not statistically significant (frequent exacerbations: HR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.51-2.03, P = 0.955; frequent hospitalizations: HR = 1.66, 95% CI = 0.58-4.78, P = 0.348). The mortality rates of the two groups were both approximately 9.0% during the entire follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS The long-term prognosis of patients reclassified into group B and of those remaining in group B was similar, although patients reclassified from group D to group B had worse short-term outcomes. The GOLD 2017 revision could improve the assessment of Chinese COPD patients in terms of long-term prognosis.

Abstract
Respiratory oscillometry allows measuring respiratory resistance and reactance during tidal breathing and may predict exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) advocates the ABCD classification tool to determine therapeutic approach based on symptom and exacerbation history, we hypothesized that in addition to spirometry, respiratory oscillometry complemented the ABCD tool to identify patients with a high risk of exacerbations. This study enrolled male outpatients with stable COPD who were prospectively followed-up over 5 years after completing mMRC scale and COPD assessment test (CAT) questionnaires, post-bronchodilator spirometry and respiratory oscillometry to measure resistance, reactance, and resonant frequency (Fres), and emphysema quantitation on computed tomography. Total 134 patients were classified into the GOLD A, B, C, and D groups (n = 48, 71, 5, and 9) based on symptoms on mMRC and CAT and a history of exacerbations in the previous year. In univariable analysis, higher Fres was associated with an increased risk of exacerbation more strongly than other respiratory oscillometry indices. Fres was closely associated with forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1). In multivariable Cox-proportional hazard models of the GOLD A and B groups, either lower FEV1 group or higher Fres group was associated with a shorter time to the first exacerbation independent of the GOLD group (A vs B) and emphysema severity. Adding respiratory oscillometry to the ABCD tool may be useful for risk estimation of future exacerbations in COPD patients without frequent exacerbation history.

Actigraphy informs distinct patient-centered outcomes in Pre-COPD. Respir Med 2021; 187:106543.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Actigraphy can provide useful patient-centered outcomes for quantification of physical activity in the "real-world" setting. METHODS To characterize the relationship of actigraphy outputs with "in-laboratory" measures of cardiopulmonary function and respiratory symptoms in pre-COPD, we obtained actigraphy data for 8 h/day for 5 consecutive days a week before in-laboratory administration of respiratory questionnaires, PFT, and CPET to a subgroup of subjects participating in the larger study of the health effects of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke who had air trapping but no spirometric obstruction (pre-COPD). Using machine learning approaches, we identified the most relevant actigraphy predictors and examined their associations with symptoms, lung function, and exercise outcomes. RESULTS Sixty-one subjects (age = 66±7 years; BMI = 24±3 kg/m2; FEV1/FVC = 0.75 ± 0.05; FEV1 = 103 ± 17 %predicted) completed the nested study. In the hierarchical cluster analysis, the activity, distance, and energy domains of actigraphy, including moderate to vigorous physical activity, were closely correlated with each other, but were only loosely associated with spirometric and peak exercise measures of oxygen consumption, ventilation, oxygen-pulse, and anaerobic threshold (VO2AT), and were divergent from symptom measures. Conversely, the sedentary domain clustered with respiratory symptoms, air trapping, airflow indices, and ventilatory efficiency. In Regression modeling, sedentary domain was inversely associated with baseline lung volumes and tidal breathing at peak exercise, while the activity domains were associated with VO2AT. Respiratory symptoms and PFT data were not associated with actigraphy outcomes. DISCUSSION Outpatient actigraphy can provide information for "real-world" patient-centered outcomes that are not captured by standardized respiratory questionnaires, lung function, or exercise testing. Actigraphy activity and sedentary domains inform of distinct outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth most frequent disease globally, and its worldwide prevalence is projected to increase in the following decades. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of COPD patients depends on multiple factors. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the most important risk factors affecting HRQOL of COPD patients and to measure how specific clinical parameters can predict HRQOL. METHODS A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study combined with clinical data was conducted among patients diagnosed with COPD (n = 321, 52.6% females, mean age 66.4 ± 9.5) at the National Koranyi Institute for Pulmonology, Budapest in 2019-2020. The inclusion criteria were age ≥40 years and existing COPD. Multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted on three components of the COPD-specific Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C) and on the physical (PCS) and mental component scales (MCS) of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of patient and disease characteristics on COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores. RESULTS We found that frequent exacerbations, multiple comorbidities and tobacco smoking were associated with worse HRQOL. Engaging in more frequent physical activity and better 6-minute walking distance results were associated with better HRQOL. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the complex therapy of COPD should focus not only on improving lung functions and preventing exacerbation, but also on treating comorbidities, encouraging increased physical activity, and supporting smoking cessation to assure better HRQOL for patients.

Respir Res 2020; 21:5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at risk of exacerbations and pneumonia; how the risk factors interact is unclear. METHODS This post-hoc, pooled analysis included studies of COPD patients treated with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2 agonist (LABA) combinations and comparator arms of ICS, LABA, and/or placebo. Backward elimination via Cox's proportional hazards regression modelling evaluated which combination of risk factors best predicts time to first (a) pneumonia, and (b) moderate/severe COPD exacerbation. RESULTS Five studies contributed: NCT01009463, NCT01017952, NCT00144911, NCT00115492, and NCT00268216. Low body mass index (BMI), exacerbation history, worsening lung function (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease [GOLD] stage), and ICS treatment were identified as factors increasing pneumonia risk. BMI was the only pneumonia risk factor influenced by ICS treatment, with ICS further increasing risk for those with BMI <25 kg/m2. The modelled probability of pneumonia varied between 3 and 12% during the first year. Higher exacerbation risk was associated with a history of exacerbations, poorer lung function (GOLD stage), female sex and absence of ICS treatment. The influence of the other exacerbation risk factors was not modified by ICS treatment. Modelled probabilities of an exacerbation varied between 31 and 82% during the first year. CONCLUSIONS The probability of an exacerbation was considerably higher than for pneumonia. ICS reduced exacerbations but did not influence the effect of risks associated with prior exacerbation history, GOLD stage, or female sex. The only identified risk factor for ICS-induced pneumonia was BMI <25 kg/m2. Analyses of this type may help the development of COPD risk equations.

Abstract
With the 60th anniversary of the CIBA symposium, it is worth evaluating research questions that should be prioritized in the future. Coming research initiatives can be summarized in 10 main areas. (1) From epidemiology the impact of new forms of electronic cigarettes on prevalence and mortality of COPD will be sought. (2) The study of the disease endotypes and its relationship phenotypes will have to be unraveled in the next decade. (3) Diagnosis of COPD faces several challenges opening the possibility of a change in the definition of the disease itself. (4) Patients' classification and risk stratification will need to be clarified and reassessed. (5) The asthma-COPD overlap dilemma will have to be clarified and define whether both conditions represent one only chronic airway disease again. (6) Integrating comorbidities in COPD care will be key in a progressively ageing population to improve clinical care in a chronic care model. (7) Nonpharmacological management have areas for research including pulmonary rehabilitation and vaccines. (8) Improving physical activity should focus research because of the clear prognostic impact. (9). Pharmacological therapies present several challenges including efficacy and safety issues with current medications and the development of biological therapy. (10) The definition, identification, categorization and specific therapy of exacerbations will also be an area of research development. During the next decade, we have a window of opportunity to address these research questions that will put us on the path for precision medicine.
