@gracemussell_ @NorthumbriaNHS @NorthumbriaLung You've been brilliant and will be sorely missed. Thanks from all of us. I'm sure Sunderland will be great and we'll see you back soon

In this study of 13208 patients with #COPD the QRISK3 score underestimated their 10 year risk of #cardiovascular events. On average, the observed risk was 52% higher than QRISK3 predicted (33.5% vs 22.1%), & more so in patients aged <65 years @ThoraxBMJ

Prednisolone given universally for COPD exacerbations causes harm without any benefit. Patients deserve blood eosinophil-guided prednisolone treatment for COPD exacerbations. https://t.co/7Q5W4r2uFo

I was very sad to hear the great Dr Gbenga Afolabi died last week. He was a great colleague and loved by many. 🥲

@JenButlerSLT @NorthumbriaNHS @UpperAirwayCEN @drsmparker @DpMedical So great to have you. Already had patients reporting back to me how much of a difference you made

@LewisStanding1 @joekibbler @NorthumbriaLung Yes, guidance encourages teams to think about CVD and test if possible. Also advises bnp in those with no obv indication for echo. Guidance not always followed but that's why decent number of new diagnoses made in UC.

[John Steer @jsteeros]

Great work @joekibbler. Presenting early results from SCATECOPD #ERSCongress. In people hospitalised with COPD exac, 50% with LVSD not on BB/ACE and new cardiac diagnoses found in 75% if you look. Opportunity to improve care for our patients with #copd. @NorthumbriaLung.

[Martijn A. Spruit @pulmonary_rehab]

Readmissions following a first #COPD exacerbation-related hospitalization are common, non-respiratory events constitute the majority. So, also treatment targeting non-respiratory causes of hospitalization should be considered to decrease readmissions.

@Anna_L_Mitchell @geordielungdoc @OlenkaDuffy @nickydlane @KarenMarshall02 I thought it was related, in part, to excess glucocorticoids. But I don't know much about them 'ormones. Maybe for another session. Hope tomorrow goes well

[John Steer @jsteeros]

@Anna_L_Mitchell @geordielungdoc @OlenkaDuffy @nickydlane @KarenMarshall02 How to minimuse the harms from steroids. Should we do anything about testosterone levels in copd. Sounds like a great session
