For patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), lower eosinophil counts are associated with increased in-hospital ... WASHINGTON -- Use of an exhalation delivery system with fluticasone (EDS-FLU; Xhance) significantly reduced acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis, which may drive down the need for antibiotics ... High-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) might have reduced need for endotracheal intubation for persistent hypercapnia during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive ...

Understanding the Context

EurekAlert!: A computed tomography-based lung radiomics nomogram to identify acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a multi-institutional validation study Background: Diagnosing acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) remains challenging in clinical practice. Computed tomography (CT) plays a great role in characterizing and ... A computed tomography-based lung radiomics nomogram to identify acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a multi-institutional validation study Medical Xpress: Lower eosinophil count linked to mortality in patients with acute COPD exacerbation in ICU Lower eosinophil count linked to mortality in patients with acute COPD exacerbation in ICU News Medical: Study explores the challenges of the clinical diagnoses of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Study explores the challenges of the clinical diagnoses of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease The American Journal of Managed Care: Standardized Definition, Smarter Treatment Approaches Needed for Acute Chronic Rhinosinusitis Exacerbations The study's findings suggest that high baseline white blood cell count, particularly high neutrophil count, was associated with a higher incidence of long-term acute exacerbation of chronic ...
