Concurrent blood eosinophils and FeNO as biological therapy indicators in severe asthma: findings from the PRISM study
, The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, ISSN: 2213-2198BackgroundThe combination of pretreatment peripheral blood eosinophil count (BEC) and FeNO levels for optimizing the therapeutic response of T2-biologics in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo compare longitudinal clinical outcome changes across subgroups stratified by the combination of high and low levels of BEC and FeNO.MethodsOverall, 278 patients with SEA (anti-IL-5/IL-5Rα users: n = 82; and anti-IL-4Rα users: n = 196) were stratified based on pretreatment BEC and FeNO levels and observed for 6 to 12 months. Group differences in exacerbation rate, lung function, Asthma Control Test, BEC, FeNO, and clinical remission over time were compared.ResultsApproximately 75% and 63% of patients presented with concurrent high BEC (≥300 cells/μL) and high FeNO (≥25 ppb) in the anti-IL-5/IL-5Rα and anti-IL-4Rα groups, respectively. Among anti-IL-5/IL-5Rα users, we observed no significant differences among BEC-FeNO groups regarding exacerbation rates or clinical remission. Patients with concurrent high BEC and FeNO levels demonstrated more pronounced reductions in both markers and greater FEV1 and Asthma Control Test score improvements compared with those with high FeNO but low BEC. In the anti-IL-4Rα group, patients with low BEC and FeNO, and those with high BEC but low FeNO, exhibited a significantly lower likelihood of achieving clinical remission (odds ratio [95% CI]: 0.08 [0.00-0.46] and 0.11 [0.01-0.63], respectively) and a slower rate of FEV1 improvement (all P for slope < .05) compared with those with concurrent high BEC and FeNO.ConclusionConcurrently elevated BEC and FeNO levels ensure optimal therapeutic response in patients with SEA who are treated with T2 biologics.Key wordsSevere eosinophilic asthmaBlood eosinophil countFeNOBiologicsAbbreviations usedACTAsthma Control TestBECBlood eosinophil countICSInhaled corticosteroidsNBNegative binomialOCSOral corticosteroidsPRISMPrecisio

Physiotherapy assessment of breathlessness and disordered patterns of breathing: defining a consensus on terminology and assessment
, Chronic Respiratory Disease, ISSN: 1479-9723Introduction: Abnormal breathing patterns unexplained by pathophysiology are typically referred to using terms including chronic breathlessness syndrome or complex breathlessness. Often patients with these conditions are referred to physiotherapy for an assessment of this breathlessness, where some are diagnosed with breathing pattern disorder (BrPD) or dysfunctional breathing (DB). The condition seen in physiotherapy occurs in at least 10% of the general population, increasing to 29−40% with coexisting conditions. Inconsistency in the nomenclature and physiotherapy assessment reduces recognition of the condition and hinders development in this area. Aims of the study: To establish expert physiotherapists' consensus on terminology to describe this condition and provide guidance for its physiotherapy assessment. Participants and methods: The opinions and experiences of ten respiratory physiotherapists, nine other clinicians (doctors, nurses, and speech and language therapists), and five patients diagnosed with BrPD were explored in focus groups or interviews regarding the terminology used and assessment experience. A second separate purposive sample of clinical expert physiotherapists (n = 11) took part in a nominal group technique (NGT) process to build consensus on the following questions: Question 1: What is your preferred term for this condition? Question 2: What are the most important assessment components to be included in all assessments? Results: One focus group (n = 10) and 14 interviews were completed. Framework analysis of the data from focus groups and interviews was undertaken and these results were shared with the participants in the nominal group. Consensus (71%) for the term breathing pattern disorder (BrPD) was achieved and an assessment guide was created. Conclusion: With improved consistency in its description and assessment, the adoption of breathing pattern disorder may help to further develop clinical and research priorities in this area w

Qualitative study of patients experiences and perceptions of stepping down asthma medication in primary care across England
, BMJ Open Respiratory Research, Vol: 12, ISSN: 2052-4439BackgroundGuidelines recommend that asthma medication should be stepped down to the minimally effective dose that achieves symptom control. Stepping down aims to prevent adverse medication effects and unnecessary costs but is often not implemented in primary care, where most asthma patients are managed. Little is known about the experiences and views of patients regarding stepping down. MethodsStable asthma patients, with regular use of a preventer inhaler, from GP practices across England, participated in a survey and/or semi-structured interview. Questions explored the patient’s understanding of their asthma, views and knowledge of preventer inhalers, experiences and perceptions of stepping down asthma medication. Qualitative group-based multi-disciplinary thematic analysis by two healthcare professionals and a patient were performed.Results143 patients responded to the survey, 63% were female, between the ages 18-80 years, and including geographical areas across the UK, 17 of whom participated in an interview. Half of these stable asthma patients, most with asthma for more than 10 years, had never had a discussion regarding stepping down asthma medication. Most stepping down that had occurred was related to seasonal changes in asthma control. Four overarching themes from the interviews were identified, (i) experiences of living with asthma and needing inhalers, (ii) insufficient education regarding preventer inhalers, (ii) stepping down is agreeable and possible and (iv) current asthma care is suboptimal.ConclusionStable asthma patients were able to self-manage their asthma well. They had little awareness of medication adverse effects and minimal experience of having their medication stepped down by a healthcare professional. Most were inclined to step down, if clinically safe to do so, indeed some had reduced their medication doses themselves, without professional guidance.
