Although we know that exacerbations are key events in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), our understanding of their frequency, determinants, and effects is incomplete. In a large observational cohort, tested the hypothesis there frequent-exacerbation phenotype COPD independent severity.We analyzed frequency associations exacerbation 2138 patients enrolled Evaluation Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate Endpoints (ECLIPSE) study. Exacerbations were defined as led care...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex condition with and extra-pulmonary manifestations. This study describes the heterogeneity of COPD in large well characterised controlled cohort (ECLIPSE). We studied 2164 clinically stable patients, 337 smokers normal lung function 245 never smokers. In these individuals, we measured clinical parameters, nutritional status, spirometry, exercise tolerance, amount emphysema by computed tomography. patients were slightly older than...

A key feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an accelerated rate decline in forced expiratory volume 1 second (FEV(1)), but data on the variability and determinants this change patients who have established are scarce.We analyzed changes FEV(1) after administration a bronchodilator over 3-year period 2163 patients. random-coefficient model was used to evaluate possible predictors both levels their time.The mean (±SE) 33±2 ml per year, with significant variation among...

Background Because chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous condition, the identification of specific clinical phenotypes key to developing more effective therapies. To explore if persistence systemic inflammation associated with poor outcomes in COPD we assessed patients recruited well-characterized ECLIPSE cohort (NCT00292552). Methods and Findings Six inflammatory biomarkers peripheral blood (white cells (WBC) count CRP, IL-6, IL-8, fibrinogen TNF-α levels) were...

Rationale: Accurate prediction of mortality helps select patients for interventions aimed at improving outcome.Objectives: Because chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by low-grade systemic inflammation, we hypothesized that addition inflammatory biomarkers to established predictive factors will improve accuracy.Methods: A total 1,843 enrolled in the Evaluation COPD Longitudinally Identify Predictive Surrogate Endpoints study were followed 3 years. Kaplan-Meier curves,...

Increasing evidence suggests that the lung microbiome plays an important role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity. However, dynamics of during COPD exacerbations and its potential aetiology remain poorly understood.We completed a longitudinal 16S ribosomal RNA survey on 476 sputum samples collected from 87 subjects with at four visits defined as stable state, exacerbation, 2 weeks post-therapy 6 recovery.Our analysis revealed dynamic microbiota where changes appeared to...

Outcomes other than spirometry are required to assess nonbronchodilator therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Estimates of the minimal clinically important difference 6-minute-walk distance (6MWD) have been derived from narrow cohorts using nonblinded intervention.To determine minimum change in 6MWD over 1 year as a function mortality and first hospitalization an observational cohort patients with COPD.Data ECLIPSE were used (n = 2,112). Death or index events; we measured...

Background Alterations in the composition of lung microbiome associated with adverse clinical outcomes, known as dysbiosis, have been implicated disease severity and exacerbations COPD. Objective To characterise longitudinal changes AERIS study (Acute Exacerbation Respiratory InfectionS COPD) their relationship COPD outcomes. Methods We surveyed 584 sputum samples from 101 patients to analyse at both stable exacerbation time points over 1 year using high-throughput sequencing 16S ribosomal...

Surfactant protein (SP)-D is a lung-derived that has been proposed as biomarker for inflammatory lung disease. Serum SP-D was evaluated components of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Evaluation COPD Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate Endpoints (ECLIPSE) cohort and its response assessed administration anti-inflammatory agent prednisolone. The median level serum significantly elevated 1,888 individuals with compared 296 current former smokers without airflow...

<h3>Background:</h3> Circulating levels of Clara cell secretory protein-16 (CC-16) have been linked to toxicity. It has therefore suggested that this protein may be a useful marker chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <h3>Methods:</h3> Serum CC-16 were measured in 2083 individuals aged 40–75 years with COPD and smoking history ⩾10 pack-years, 332 controls pack-years normal lung function 237 non-smoking controls. <h3>Results:</h3> had coefficient repeatability 2.90 over 3 months...

The 2011 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classifies patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) into four groups (A to D). We explored the characteristics, stability and relationship outcomes of these within ECLIPSE study (Evaluation COPD Longitudinally Identify Predictive Surrogate End-points) (n = 2101). Main results showed that: 1) differed in several clinical, functional, imaging biological characteristics addition those used their own...

Bronchodilator responsiveness is a potential phenotypic characteristic of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We studied whether change in lung function after bronchodilator abnormal COPD, stable responder subgroups can be identified, and these experience different clinical outcomes.1831 patients with 285 smoking (SC) 228 non-smoking (NSC) controls from the Evaluation COPD Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate Endpoints (ECLIPSE) cohort.
