Концепция контроля хронической обструктивной болезни легких как инструмент принятия решения и оптимизации базисной терапии в реальной клинической практике

The main goals of COPD therapy are to achieve clinical stability with minimal clinical manifestations and low risk of relapse. The proposed COPD control concept by analogy with asthma has not been quite well characterized yet. COPD control is defined as "the long - term maintenance of a clinical situation with a low impact of symptoms on the patient’s life and absence of exacerbations." The situation of clinical control in COPD is considered desirable and potentially achievable for most patients with COPD. Pharmacotherapeutic options for COPD are constantly expanding. The control concept may be useful when the decision on treatment of COPD is made for dynamic adjustment of the therapy volume.Основными целями терапии хронической обструктивной болезни легких (ХОБЛ) является достижение клинической стабильности с наименьшим количеством симптомов и низким риском обострений. Предложенная концепция контроля ХОБЛ по аналогии с бронхиальной астмой пока недостаточно хорошо охарактеризована. Контроль ХОБЛ определяется как «долгосрочное поддержание клинической ситуации с низким воздействием симптомов на жизнь пациента и отсутствием обострений». Ситуация клинического контроля при ХОБЛ рассматривается как желательная и потенциально достижимая для большинства пациентов с ХОБЛ. Возможности фармакологической терапии ХОБЛ постоянно расширяются. Концепция контроля может быть полезна для принятия решения о лечении ХОБЛ для динамической корректировки объема терапии

How do dual long-acting bronchodilators prevent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

Decreasing the frequency and severity of exacerbations is one of the main goals of treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Several studies have documented that long-acting bronchodilators can reduce exacerbation rate and/or severity, and others have shown that combinations of long-acting b2-adrenergic agonists (LABAs) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) provide greater reductions in exacerbation frequency than either their monocomponents or LABA/inhaled corticosteroid combinations in patients at low and high risk for these events. In this review, small groups of experts critically evaluated mechanisms potentially responsible for the increased benefit of LABA/LAMA combinations over single long-acting bronchodilators or LABA/inhaledcorticosteroids in decreasing exacerbation. These included effects on lung hyperinflation and mechanical stress, inflammation, excessive mucus productionwith impairedmucociliary clearance, and symptom severity. The data assembled and analyzed by each group were reviewed by all authors and combined into thismanuscript. Available clinical results support the possibility that effects of LABA/LAMA combinations on hyperinflation, mucociliary clearance, and symptom severity may all contribute to decreasing exacerbations. Although preclinical studies suggest LABAs and LAMAs have antiinflammatory effects, such effects have not been demonstrated yet in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. © 2017 by the American Thoracic Society
