- Question
Inhaled corticosteroid responsiveness:- What features predict inhaled corticosteroid responsiveness most accurately in people with COPD?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Why this is important:- Bronchodilators and/or steroids are the main pharmacological treatments used to manage COPD. People with asthma or asthmatic features that may make them steroid responsive may need a different combination of drugs to other groups of people with COPD for the most effective treatment of their symptoms. Identifying these people would help ensure that they receive appropriate treatment.
