Mashup Score: 2Osteopenia and Osteoporosis Risk in Psoriatic Arthritis - 6 month(s) ago
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is an important screening test for osteoporosis among the elderly. In practice, patients with chronic inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as those on systemic corticosteroids are typically screened earlier due to a higher risk for osteoporosis.

Mashup Score: 3Cochrane Clinical Vignettes project aims to support evidence-based decision-making in clinical practice - 7 month(s) ago
Cochrane France is dedicated to promoting evidence-informed decision-making and practice. To support this mission, Cochrane France has launched a new project, Cochrane Clinical Vignettes. Cochrane France intends to produce several clinical vignettes per year covering various medical specialties in collaboration with Cochrane Skin, Cochrane Lung Cancer, and Cochrane Training. These clinical vignettes will present a clinical case scenario and a summary of the systematic review’s findings and conclusions,

Background Despite the evidence-based guidelines promoted by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), the overuse of prescription drugs to manage COPD, particularly inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), remains a persistent challenge. In this real-world study, we evaluated how patients with COPD were divided into ABCD groups based on the 2017 GOLD guidelines, determined the rate of adherence to the GOLD treatment recommendations, described the rate of ICS usage, and determined the rate of triple therapy (TT) prescription. Methods The charts of 2291 patients diagnosed with COPD were retrospectively analyzed, of which 1438 matched the eligibility criteria. Results The average patient age was 69.6 ± 10.9 years; 52% of patients were female. The average COPD assessment test (CAT) score was 18.3 ± 9.1. The ABCD breakdown was as follows: group A 19.5%, group B 64.1%, group C 1.8%, and group D 14.6%. All groups, except group D, showed discordance in COPD treatment relative t

Mashup Score: 0Reduced mechanical ventilation risk with corticosteroids in community-acquired pneumonia - 9 month(s) ago
Fewer patients with community-acquired pneumonia using corticosteroids vs. standard care needed mechanical ventilation, but mortality rates did not differ between both groups, according to study results published in CHEST.“In this up-to-date meta-analysis … no association was found between corticosteroid use and mortality,” Naveed Saleem, MSc, of the Bloomsbury Institute of

Background Systemic corticosteroids are often used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flares during pregnancy as maintenance of disease remission is crucial to optimize pregnancy outcomes. However, there is little data regarding the effect of in utero exposure to corticosteroids on the risk of adverse birth outcomes and early-life infections in the offspring. Methods We used the Danish…

Mashup Score: 11Higher-dose corticosteroids linked to increased risk of death in some hypoxic COVID-19 patients - 1 year(s) ago
A new study to be presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2023, Copenhagen April 15-18), and published in The Lancet, shows that compared with standard care that included low-dose corticosteroid use, treating hypoxic COVID-19 patients needing only oxygen therapy or no breathing support with higher-dose corticosteroids is associated with a…
