Welcome to Hot Topics

Welcome to HOT TOPICS

We are delighted to introduce COPDforum’s Hot Topics. In this new feature we will provide regular reviews, including slides, of recent peer-reviewed publications in COPD. Each publication is selected and reviewed by our renowned Leadership to provide insight to the topic covered. Access the summary slides as well to include this up-to-date information in your presentation.

Preventing exacerbations is a key goal in the management of patients with COPD because these events are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and more rapid decline in pulmonary function. While bronchodilator and bronchodilator plus inhaled corticosteroid treatment significantly decrease exacerbations, they are not effective in all patients and new COPD therapies are urgently needed. The first Hot Topic paper describes the efficacy of roflumilast, a new COPD treatment, in decreasing exacerbations and the successful use of a strategy for identification of a patient phenotype with increased likelihood of responding to this therapy.
