Abstract
TOPIC IMPORTANCE Cognitive and physical limitations are common in individuals with chronic lung diseases, but their interactions with physical function and activities of daily living are not well characterized. Understanding these interactions and potential contributors may provide insights on disability and enable more tailored rehabilitation strategies. REVIEW FINDINGS This review summarizes a 2-day meeting of patient partners, clinicians, researchers, and lung associations to discuss the interplay between cognitive and physical function in people with chronic lung diseases. This report covers four areas: (1) cognitive-physical limitations in patients with chronic lung diseases; (2) cognitive assessments; (3) strategies to optimize cognition and motor control; and (4) future research directions. Cognitive and physical impairments have multiple effects on quality of life and daily function. Meeting participants acknowledged the need for a standardized cognitive assessment to complement physical assessments in patients with chronic lung diseases. Dyspnea, fatigue, and age were recognized as important contributors to cognition that can affect motor control and daily physical function. Pulmonary rehabilitation was highlighted as a multidisciplinary strategy that may improve respiratory and limb motor control through neuroplasticity and has the potential to improve physical function and quality of life. SUMMARY There was consensus that cognitive function and the cognitive interference of dyspnea in people with chronic lung diseases contribute to motor control impairments that can negatively affect daily function, which may be improved with pulmonary rehabilitation. The meeting generated several key research questions related to cognitive-physical interactions in individuals with chronic lung diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Errors using inhaled delivery systems for COPD are common and it is assumed that these lead to worse clinical outcomes. Previous systematic reviews have included patients with both asthma and COPD and much of the evidence related to asthma. More studies in COPD have now been published. Through systematic review, the relationship between errors using inhalers and clinical outcomes in COPD, including the importance of specific errors, was assessed.MethodsElectronic databases were searched on 27 October 2023 to identify cohort, case-control or randomised controlled studies, which included patients with COPD, an objective assessment of inhaler errors and data on at least one outcome of interest (forced expiratory volume in 1 s, (FEV1), dyspnoea, health status and exacerbations). Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle and Ottawa scales. A narrative synthesis of the results was performed as there was insufficient detail in the publications to allow quantitative synthesis. There was no funding for the review. RESULTS 19 publications were included (7 cohort and 12 case-control) reporting outcomes on 6487 patients. 15 were considered low quality, and most were confounded by the absence of adherence data. There was weak evidence that lower error rates are associated with better FEV1, symptoms and health status and fewer exacerbations. Only one considered the effects of individual errors and found that only some were related to worse outcomes. CONCLUSION Evidence about the importance of specific errors using inhalers and outcomes would optimise the education and training of patients with COPD. Prospective studies, including objective monitoring of inhalation technique and adherence, are needed. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023393120.

[PMID: 37977266 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.11.011] [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: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Because guidelines and strategies for pharmacologic treatment of COPD focus on specific classes of inhaled medications, there is an unmet need for information to guide health care professionals for selecting an inhaled medication delivery system that matches the unique characteristics of individual patients. This article provides guidance for selecting an inhaled medication delivery system based on three "key" patient factors: cognitive function, manual dexterity/strength, and peak inspiratory flow. In addition, information is provided about specific tests to assess these patient factors. Cognitive impairment with an estimated prevalence of 25% among patients with COPD adversely affects patients' ability to correctly use a handheld device. To our knowledge, the prevalence of impaired manual dexterity/strength has not been reported in those with COPD. However, 79% of patients with COPD have reported one or more physical impediments that could influence their ability to manipulate an inhaler device. The measurement of peak inspiratory flow against the simulated resistance (PIFr) of a dry powder inhaler establishes whether the patient has the inhalation ability for creating optimal turbulent energy within the device. A suboptimal PIFr for low to medium-high resistance dry powder inhalers has been reported in 19% to 84% of stable outpatients with COPD. Health care professionals should consider cognitive function, manual dexterity/strength, and PIFr in their patients with COPD when prescribing inhaled pharmacotherapy. Impairments in these patient factors are common among those with COPD and can affect the individual's competency and effectiveness of using inhaled medications delivered by handheld devices.

Effectiveness of an educational intervention about inhalation technique in healthcare professionals in primary care: a cluster randomized trial. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1266095. [PMID: 37915412 PMCID: PMC10617029 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1266095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Incorrect inhalation technique (IT) is an important issue for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthcare professionals. Studies in which counseling is carried out with healthcare professionals beforehand so that they can properly educate their patients are required. The objective of the present trial is to assess the improvement in the performance of the IT in subjects with COPD and prescribed inhaled therapy after the implementation of an educational intervention conducted by their general practitioners. Methods: A cluster randomized clinical trial was conducted. A total of 286 COPD patients received scheduled inhalation therapy from 27 general practices in seven primary care centers. A teach-back educational intervention was implemented for both healthcare professionals and patients. The primary outcome of this study was the performance of the correct inhalation technique. It is considered a good technique if all steps in the inhalation data sheet are correctly performed. The secondary outcomes were assessed using forced spirometry, the basal dyspnea index, the Medical Research Council dyspnea scale, St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and EuroQoL5D-5L for health-related quality of life. A one-year follow-up was conducted using an intention-to-treat analysis. Results: After the intervention, incorrect IT was observed in 92% of professionals and patients, with rates reaching 50% and 69.2%, respectively. The effectiveness in patients was significant, with a number needed to treat of 2.14 (95% CI 1.79-2.66). Factors related to correct IT in patients included the type of intervention, length of intervention (>25 min), good pulmonary function, age (youngest <=65, oldest >83), and less limitation of activity due to dyspnea. There was no relation with the cluster. Conclusion: This study shows the effectiveness of direct inhaler technique training provided by a trained professional on an appropriate timescale (for example, a specific consultation for medication reviews), aiming to help subjects improve their performance using the teach-back method. This could be an encouraging intervention to improve medication adherence and health promotion in people with COPD. Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov, identifier ISRCTN93725230.

Abstract
Geriatric traumatological rounds (GTR) with representatives of several disciplines are a challenge in the setting of primary care hospitals with limited resources. The GTR were started with only an experienced traumatologist and a geriatrician in 2019. Routine quality control data showed a reduction of the frequency of cardiac failure and mortality after the start of the GTR. Therefore, even the minimum variant of GTR with the focus on the differential diagnosis of falls and adequate drug treatment appears to be beneficial for the patient. Special attention is given to the medical treatment of cardiac failure, pulmonary diseases, osteoporosis, psychiatric disorders and anemia. Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency are substituted. When anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors are indicated, they are resumed early. Potentially inadequate drugs for older patients are avoided. Doses of many drugs used in geriatric patients must be adjusted to a reduced renal function often present in old age. Frequent electrolyte abnormalities are diagnosed and adequately treated.

Cognitive impairment according to Montreal Cognitive Assessment independently predicts the ability of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients to maintain proper inhaler technique. BMC Pulm Med 2023; 23:144. [PMID: 37101175 PMCID: PMC10131352 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-023-02448-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining correct inhaler technique is crucial in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to investigate the inhaler technique in patients with COPD, to compare it immediately after and at 1 month after training, and to identify the predictors of incorrect inhaler use at 1 month after training. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at the COPD clinic of Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand). Patients demonstrating improper inhaler use were trained face-to-face by pharmacists. Inhaler technique was re-assessed immediately after and at 1 month after training. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, pulmonary function tests, 6-min walk distance (6 MWD), modified Medical Research Council scale score, and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score were evaluated. RESULTS Sixty-six patients with COPD who demonstrated at least one critical error during the use of any controller inhaler were enrolled. The mean age was 73.0 ± 9.0 years, and 75.8% patients had moderate/severe COPD. Immediately after training, all patients used dry powder inhalers correctly and 88.1% used pressurized metered-dose inhalers correctly. At 1 month, the number of patients demonstrating the correct technique decreased across all devices. Multivariable analysis revealed that MoCA score ≤ 16 was independently associated with a critical error at 1 month after training (adjusted odds ratio: 12.7, 95% confidence interval: 1.8-88.2, p = 0.010). At 1 month, CAT score (11.4 ± 8.9 vs. 8.4 ± 5.5, p = 0.018) and 6 MWD (351 ± 93 m vs. 372 ± 92 m, p = 0.009) had significantly improved in patients demonstrating the correct technique, and CAT score met the minimal clinically important difference. CONCLUSIONS Face-to-face training by pharmacists improved patient performance. However, the number of patients following proper technique had decreased at 1 month after training. Cognitive impairment (MoCA score ≤ 16) independently predicted the ability of COPD patients to maintain proper inhaler technique. Assessment of cognitive function combined with technical re-assessment and repeated training should improve COPD management.

Wenshen Yiqi Keli Mitigates the Proliferation and Migration of Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells through miR-155/FoxO3a Axis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4427637.

Abstract
Some domestic scholars revealed the effectiveness of Wenshen Yiqi Keli (WSYQKL) on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the exact mechanism of WSYQKL on COPD is fuzzy and needs further research. We adopted UPLC-Q/TOF-MS to analyze the chemical components of WSYQKL. In in vitro experiments, human airway smooth muscle cells (hASMCs) were intervened with 2.5% cigarette smoke extract (CSE), medicine serum of WSYQKL, miR-155 mimic, and FoxO3a silencing. Cell viability, proliferation, migration, and the expressions of miR-155, PCNA, Ki67, p21, p27, and FoxO3a were examined by cell counting kit-8, EdU staining, Transwell assay, scarification assay, qRT-PCR, immunol cytochemistry, and western blot, respectively. The association between miR-155 and FoxO3a was assessed by database and luciferase reporter gene analysis. We identified 47 kinds of chemical compositions of WSYQKL in ESI+ mode and 42 kinds of components of WSYQKL in ESI− mode. The medicine serum of WSYQKL strongly alleviated the proliferation and migration of hASMCs induced by CSE in a concentration-dependent manner. The medicine serum of WSYQKL enhanced the levels of p21, p27, and FoxO3a and weakened PCNA and Ki67 levels in hASMCs induced by CSE with the increase of concentration. MiR-155 mimic or FoxO3a silencing notably advanced CSE-treated HASMC viability, proliferation, migration, and the levels of PCNA and Ki67 and downregulated the levels of p21, p27, and FoxO3a in CSE-triggered hASMCs, which was reversed by WSYQKL-containing serum. Our results described that WSYQKL alleviated the proliferation and migration of hASMCs induced by CSE by modulating the miR-155/FoxO3a axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medicine is becoming increasingly digitalized. Digital applications are finding their way into health care. The aim of the study was to record the attitudes of members of the German Respiratory Society (DGP) towards digitalization. METHODS The study was conducted in cooperation with the DGP, the German Respiratory League and the Health Innovation Hub (HIH) of the German Federal Ministry of Health. Data were gathered with the help of an online questionnaire (July/August 2021), analyzed descriptively and supplemented with a subgroup comparison regarding proactivity of the members. RESULTS 284 questionnaires were complete and included in the analysis (31% female); 76.4% believed that digitalization would change their daily professional life within five years. 47.2% had prescribed or planned to prescribe Digital Health Applications (DiGA). Lack of technology skills of patients and the time required for health professionals were seen as critical (49.3 and 47.5%). Regarding DiGA, scientific proof of efficacy (48.9%) and ease of use for patients (47.9%) were rated as most important. The subgroup comparison showed that 42.7% actively informed themselves about digital medicine and that this group saw more opportunities for meaningful use of DiGA. CONCLUSION The members of the DGP have mostly a positive view about the profound changes expected from digital medicine. The more active the role of DGP members and other professional societies, the more digital elements can add value to practice.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive degenerative disease, of which smoking is the main causer. We carried out this study with the aim of exploring the underlying mechanism of methylprednisolone (MP) treating the COPD. To stimulate COPD in vitro, cigarette smoke extract (CSE)was employed to induce human bronchial epithelial cells BEAS-2B. With the help of MTT and Tunel assays, the viability and apoptosis of BEAS-2B cells after indicated treatment were assessed. The levels of inflammatory response and oxidative stress were determined by the changes of markers basing on their commercial kits. Additionally, annexin A1 (ANXA1) expressions at both protein and mRNA levels were assessed with Western blot and Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Moreover, the expressions of apoptosis- and formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) receptors and the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway-related proteins were determined with Western blot., related proteins and proteins. As a result, MP up-regulated the ANXA1 expression in CSE-induced BEAS-2B cells. MP enhanced the viability but suppressed the apoptosis, inflammatory response and oxidative stress of CSE-induced BEAS-2B cells via regulating FPR2/AMPK pathway, while ANXA1 knockdown exhibited oppositive effects on them. In conclusion, MP up-regulated ANXA1 to inhibit the inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress of BEAS-2B cells induced by CSE, alleviating COPD through suppressing the FPR2/AMPK pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of the survey were to assess first experiences of Swiss COPD patients switching from the disposable to the new reusable Respimat inhaler, and to evaluate physicians´ and patients´ views of the new training material. METHODS Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COPD using a disposable Respimat inhaler for at least three months were included. Patients´ demographics, COPD stage, current treatment, and comorbidities relevant for the handling of the device were assessed. Further, patients were trained on the reusable Respimat by placebo inhaler, patient brochure, video cards/demo films and SMS reminder service. After at least one cartridge change, patients gave comprehensive feedback on their satisfaction with the reusable Respimat and physicians evaluated the need for re-training. RESULTS 235 patients participated in the survey. Of these, 37% suffered from comorbidities restricting the handling of the Respimat. 216 (92%) patients had a better overall satisfaction with the reusable than with the disposable Respimat. Dose counter (86%), monthly preparation (81%) and daily handling (77%) were also assessed as better by most of the patients. In 80% of cases, the user ability was stated as better than for the disposable Respimat. Less than 15% of the patients required further training. Placebo inhaler was the mostly preferred training material by both, physicians (in 86% of the patients) and patients (75%). In patients with comorbidities affecting inhaler handling, overall satisfaction was also better in 86% of the patients. CONCLUSION The majority of patients were satisfied with the new reusable Respimat device and proper handling could be attained using the provided training material, even in patients with restricting comorbidities.

Effectiveness of one-on-one coaching in improving pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) technique among COPD patients: a prospective clinical study. BMC Pulm Med 2021; 21:266. [PMID: 34399721 PMCID: PMC8365924 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-021-01627-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Incorrect use of inhalers among asthma and COPD patients is very prevalent. Yet, no single intervention is considered standard of care. We aimed to conduct a COPD-specific investigation of active one-on-one coaching as the educational intervention to improve pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) technique and COPD symptoms management. METHODS COPD patients who have pMDI in their treatment regimen were enrolled in this prospective study using the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease criteria. After rapid cognitive screen, inhaler technique was assessed and an active one-on-one coaching was provided utilizing the 12-step American Thoracic Society instructions. Patients' inhaler technique was assessed and scored again at their regular follow-up visits. RESULTS One hundred and one patients participated in the study. The percentage of pMDI misuse decreased from 43.5% pre-teaching to 12.9% post-teaching (binomial test p value < 0.001). The mean number of errors decreased from 3.1 errors pre-teaching to 1.7 errors post-teaching (paired t-test p value < 0.001). The number needed to treat was 3.3 patients to prevent one misuse. Patients with an impaired cognitive function were more likely to have inhaler misuse in general and less likely to improve their technique when provided training. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals that many COPD patients have incorrect pMDI techniques that can be improved with a short training in the clinic. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Abstract
Purpose Numerous studies have demonstrated that incorrect use of inhalers prescribed to treat airway diseases is commonly observed and is associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether inhalation technique can be improved by the demonstration of short training video sequences provided by the German Airway League. Patients and Methods Patients filling a script for an inhalator in a community pharmacy were asked to demonstrate their inhalation technique which was rated using specific checklists. Patients not inhaling correctly demonstrated inhaler use again after having viewing the training video. Results A total of 229 (n=229) patients were included in the study of whom 165 (n=165) (72.1%) made at least one critical mistake when inhaling. Training videos were only demonstrated to patients with incorrect inhaler technique. After having watched the video 80 (n=80) of 165 (n=165) (48.5%) patients with incorrect inhaler use at baseline demonstrated correct inhalation technique now and the number of critical mistakes decreased significantly (1 [0; 1] vs 2 [1.5; 3]; p<0.0001). Device use was demonstrated by a member of the study team to patients still not inhaling correctly (n=85) resulting in a correct technique in 64 (n=64) (75.3%) of these patients. Conclusion Incorrect device use is still a major problem. Training videos could be an efficient part of a multi-modal approach to improve inhalation technique in clinical practice.
