Supporting referral to pulmonary rehabilitation from primary care: A systematic evaluation of interventions using the ERIC taxonomy
Abstract Background Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a key component in managing chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). Primary care, often the first point of contact for people with CRD, is well-positioned to facilitate referral to PR, yet referral rates are low. This systematic review aimed to…

The European respiratory society guideline for adult bronchiectasis 2025: summary and implementation guide for primary care
Abstract Bronchiectasis is a common chronic respiratory disease with rising prevalence, hospitalisation rates, and mortality. It is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 200 adults, imposing a substantial symptom burden and significant healthcare costs, largely driven by exacerbations. Although…

Comparative effectiveness of different home-based pulmonary rehabilitation models in patients with COPD: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Abstract To compare the efficacy and safety of four home-based pulmonary rehabilitation models—traditional home-based pulmonary rehabilitation, telerehabilitation, hybrid pulmonary rehabilitation, and self-management pulmonary rehabilitation-in patients with COPD. We sought to generate comparative…

Pelargonium sidoides extract (EPs® 7630) versus usual care for acute bronchitis in Swiss primary care (PHYTOBRONCH): a pragmatic, open-label, randomised controlled trial
Abstract We aimed to assess whether Pelargonium sidoides extract (EPs®7630) reduces symptom duration or antibiotic use compared with usual care in adults with acute bronchitis. We conducted a pragmatic randomised-controlled trial across 36 primary care practices and five walk-in clinics in…

Identifying patients with mild-to-moderate COPD who require intensified initial treatment to control annualized clinically important deterioration
Abstract Background The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) guidelines recommend selecting initial treatment based on the severity of respiratory symptoms or exacerbation history. However, some patients still experience clinically important deterioration (CID) despite this strategy…

Global, regional, and national trends in burden of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and associated risk factors, 1990–2021: results from the global burden of disease study 2021
Abstract Background Lung cancer (LC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are fatal respiratory diseases with shared pathophysiological mechanisms. However, their global burden patterns remain insufficiently characterized within a comparative framework. This study aimed to conduct a…

Comparative risk of pneumonia and acute exacerbation between P-CAB and PPI use in patients with COPD and GERD
Abstract Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are newer gastric acid suppressants used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but evidence regarding their respiratory safety compared with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)…

Health status and prognosis of COPD patients in relation to the FEV1/FVC ratio
Abstract Whether COPD should be diagnosed using the lower limit of normal (LLN) or a fixed FEV1/FVC ratio 0.05. Moreover, comparable prevalence of exacerbations and hospital admissions were found during the subsequent three years (31.7 vs 37.7%, and 4.8 vs 2.6%, respectively, all p-values > 0.05)…

Educating the patient, controlling the disease: a point prevalence evaluation of structured pharmaceutical asthma care in real world settings
Abstract Asthma control remains suboptimal worldwide, often due to modifiable factors such as incorrect inhaler technique and reliever overuse. Community pharmacists (CPs) are well-positioned to address these gaps through structured patient education. A point prevalence evaluation was conducted in…

How to quickly determine whether patients with chronic cough need corticosteroid treatment——construction of a predictive model for corticosteroid-responsive cough in chronic cough
Abstract Patients with chronic cough need to undergo a wide range of tests and rely on empirical medication to determine the underlying cause. Corticosteroid-responsive cough (CRC) accounts for the majority of the causes of chronic cough, and the diagnostic process is relatively complicated. To…
