Systemic glucocorticoids are recommended for use in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations; however, there is increased harm associated with their use. We hypothesised that the of eosinophil biomarker-directed oral prednisolone therapy at time an exacerbation COPD was effective reducing without affecting adverse outcomes.
Near-patient testing (NPT) allows clinical decisions to be made in a rapid and convenient manner is often cost effective. In COPD the peripheral blood eosinophil count has been demonstrated have utility providing prognostic information predicting response treatment during an acute exacerbation. For this potential achieved having reliable NPT of would extremely useful. Therefore, we investigated use HemoCue® WBC Diff System evaluated its sensitivity specificity healthy, asthmatic subjects....

<b>Introduction:</b> The majority of COPD patients are seen in primary care, where approximately 1.4 million acute exacerbations treated, but little is known about the inflammatory phenotype or response to treatment at time an exacerbation. peripheral blood eosinophil (PBE) count can be measured from a single drop & inform clinicians phenotype. We conducted prospective observational study with Thames Valley region understand characteristics (Stratified TreAtment Reduce Risk COPD: STARR...
<b>Introduction:</b> The COPD STARR study (Stratified TreAtment to Reduce Risk in COPD) is an observational performed GP practices the Thames Valley region understand inflammatory characteristics COPD. To maximise recruitment, a new peripatetic research model was performed, with two dedicated nurses aligned 8 over large geographical area. <b>Methods:</b> Subjects COPD, defined according clinical history & spirometry, were entered into study. Data sampling at entry included baseline...
