Evaluation of Asthma Control by Physicians and Patients: Comparison with Current Guidelines
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: Current asthma consensus guidelines recommend a series of criteria for determining whether asthma is controlled. It is not known whether physicians are using these criteria to assess treatment needs and how effective such assessments are compared with patient assessment of asthma control.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the parameters used by physicians and patients with asthma to determine whether asthma control is acceptable, according to the current Canadian asthma consensus ...

Tools for Assessing Outcomes in Studies of Chronic Cough CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: Since the publication of the 2006 American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) cough guidelines, a variety of tools has been developed or further refined for assessing cough. The purpose of the present committee was to evaluate instruments used by investigators performing clinical research on chronic cough. The specific aims were to (1) assess the performance of tools designed to measure cough frequency, severity, and impact in adults, adolescents, and children with chronic ...

The prevalence of allergic airway diseases such as asthma and rhinitis has increased dramatically to epidemic proportions worldwide. Besides air pollution from industry derived emissions and motor vehicles, the rising trend can only be explained by gross changes in the environments where we live. The world economy has been transformed over the last 25 years with developing countries being at the core of these changes. Around the planet, in both developed and developing countries, ...

BACKGROUND: Cough is a common symptom experienced by athletes, particularly after exercise. We performed a systematic review to assess the following in this population: (1) the main causes of acute and recurrent cough, either exercise-induced or not, (2) how cough is assessed, and (3) how cough is treated in this population. From the systematic review, suggestions for management were developed.
METHODS: This review was performed according to the CHEST methodological guidelines and ...

Classification of Cough as a Symptom in Adults and Management Algorithms CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: We performed systematic reviews using the population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) format to answer the following key clinical question: Are the CHEST 2006 classifications of acute, subacute and chronic cough and associated management algorithms in adults that were based on durations of cough useful?
METHODS: We used the CHEST Expert Cough Panel's protocol for the systematic reviews and the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) methodological guidelines and ...

BACKGROUND: Unexplained chronic cough (UCC) causes significant impairments in quality of life. Effective assessment and treatment approaches are needed for UCC.
METHODS: This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) asked: What is the efficacy of treatment compared with usual care for cough severity, cough frequency, and cough-related quality of life in patients with UCC? Studies of adults and adolescents aged > 12 years with a chronic cough of > 8 weeks' duration that ...

Management of severe asthma: a European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society guideline
[ PUBLICATION ]
This document provides clinical recommendations for the management of severe asthma. Comprehensive evidence syntheses, including meta-analyses, were performed to summarise all available evidence relevant to the European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society Task Force's questions. The evidence was appraised using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach and the results were summarised in evidence profiles. The evidence syntheses were ...

BACKGROUND: Successful management of chronic cough has varied in the primary research studies in the reported literature. One of the potential reasons relates to a lack of intervention fidelity to the core elements of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic interventions that were meant to be used by the investigators.
METHODS: We conducted a systematic review to summarize the evidence supporting intervention fidelity as an important methodologic consideration in assessing the effectiveness of ...

Efficacy and Safety of Indacaterol, a New 24-hour β 2-Agonist, in Patients with Asthma: A Dose-Ranging Study
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: Indacaterol is a new once-daily inhaled beta(2)-agonist in clinical development for asthma as a component of a fixed-dose combination with an inhaled corticosteroid.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the efficacy and safety of indacaterol in patients with chronic persistent asthma.
METHODS: A total of 115 patients were randomized in a double-blind, incomplete-block cross-over design to sequences of four 7-day treatment periods (separated by 7-day washouts) with indacaterol 100, 200, ...

Chronic Cough Due to Gastroesophageal Reflux in Adults CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: We updated the 2006 ACCP clinical practice guidelines for management of reflux-cough syndrome.
METHODS: Two population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) questions were addressed by systematic review: (1) Can therapy for gastroesophageal reflux improve or eliminate cough in adults with chronic and persistently troublesome cough? and (2) Are there minimal clinical criteria to guide practice in determining that chronic cough is likely to respond to therapy for ...
