Long-term ICS use reduces pleural effusion in patients with CAPPublic release date: 23-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

ATS 2012, SAN FRANCISCO Prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in patients with respiratory disorders who develop community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with a lower incidence and severity of parapneumonic effusion, according to a new study from researchers in Spain.
A parapneumonic effusion is a type of pleural effusion (excess fluid that accumulates between the two pleural layers, the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs) that arises as a result of a pneumonia, lung abscess, or bronchiectasis.
"Long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is associated with an elevated risk of CAP in patients with COPD, while at the same time, use of inhaled corticosteroids is also associated with less CAP severity and a lower risk of pneumonia-related mortality," said Jacobo Sellares, MD, PhD, associate faculty member at Hospital Clnic The August Pi I Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona, Spain. "In our study, prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in patients who developed CAP was associated with a lower incidence and less severity of parapneumonic effusion, regardless of the patient's baseline chronic respiratory condition."
The results will be presented at the ATS 2012 International Conference in San Francisco.
The single center study enrolled 3,602 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of CAP. Of these, 659 (18%) had respiratory disorders treated with inhaled corticosteroids before CAP was diagnosed. Respiratory disorders included COPD (56%), asthma (13%), bronchiectasis (6%), and other disorders (25%).
Patients with prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids, compared with those without, had a significantly lower incidence of parapneumonic effusion (5% vs. 12%). This association remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, comorbidities, and CAP severity. Prior corticosteroid treatment was associated with a higher incidence of simple parapneumonic effusion and a lower incidence of empyema compared with no prior corticosteroid treatment.
Baseline pulmonary disorder did not affect the relationship between corticosteroid treatment and parapneumonic effusion.
"Pleural infection is common in patients with CAP and is associated with an increased mortality risk," said Dr. Sellares. "Our results show that previous treatment of respiratory disorders with inhaled corticosteroids may reduce the risk of developing this dangerous complication."
The potential preventive role of inhaled corticosteroids in preventing parapneumonic effusion in patients with high risk of CAP must be clarified in future randomized studies, according to Dr. Sellares.

Influence Of Long-Term Use Of Inhaled Corticoids On The Development Of Pleural Effusion In Community Acquired Pneumonia
Type: Scientific Abstract
Category: 10.03 - Community Acquired Respiratory Infections (Including Epidemiology) (MTPI)
Authors: J. Sellares1, A. Lopez-Guiraldo1, C. Lucena1, E. Polverino1, C. Cilloniz1, R. Amaro1, M.A. Marcos1, J. Mensa1, A. Torres2; 1Hospital Clinic - Barcelona/ES, 2Hospital Clinic Del Barcelona / - Barcelona/ES
Abstract Body
Rationale
Long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been associated with increase risk of CAP. By contrast ICS have been associated with less CAP severity and a decreased risk of pneumonia-related mortality. Pleural infection is a frequent complication of CAP that may increase mortality. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of long-term use of ICS on the incidence and severity of parapneumonic effusion in patients with different baseline respiratory disorders.
Methods
We conducted a single centre cohort study of 3602 patients consecutively collected with the diagnosis of CAP. We assessed clinical, radiographic and pleural fluid chemistry and microbiological variables. Pleural effusion was classified according to American College of Chest Physicians guidelines. Patients were classified whether they received prior ICS treatment or not.
Results
659 patients (18%) were treated with ICS before diagnosis of CAP (COPD: 56% Asthma: 13%, Bronchiectasis: 6%, others: 25%). Prior treatment with ICS was significant associated with less incidence of parapneumonic effusion compared to those without prior ICS treatment (5% vs. 12%, p
Conclusions
The prior treatment of ICS in patients who develop CAP is associated with lower incidence and less severity of parapneumonic effusion, regardless of the baseline chronic respiratory condition.

Let?s face it: Renting isn?t the American Dream. But for most of us out there ? and even more so now that the demand for rentals has increased ? the day-to-day reality of being a tenant, while figuring out how to pay more rent and still save money to buy a home, is getting tougher.
Before I bought a house in a short sale two years ago, I rented. In 10 years, I lived in six different rentals with varying degrees of satisfaction. Mostly, I was unprepared to rent because my family hadn?t rented when I was growing up (my parents bought their home four years before I was born and still have it). I knew to read my lease before I signed it, but I didn?t know what I should look for in a ?fair? lease or that rent and lease terms could be negotiated. I didn?t know what my rights as a tenant were. When I was a college student, I naively thought the contract was more between my parents and my landlord than me and my landlord ? even though I?d signed the lease.
That all changed when my shared rental house was sold in the middle of the lease term and my new landlord gave me $33 of my $350 security deposit back when I moved out. My dad said, ?That?s what happens.? He told me to get over it, even though the repairs the landlord charged us for contradicted the terms of the lease we?d signed with our original landlord.
A little research into Ohio?s tenant laws (if the judgment is in favor of the tenant, the landlord must pay the tenant?s attorney fees and double the judgment amount), a few threatening letters from our attorney, and I?d recovered all but $50 of my deposit.
So, when all you want is a comfortable place to live while you squirrel away money for a down payment on your own house, how do you protect yourself?
First, learn in advance what I learned out of necessity: States have tenant laws and knowing them will help prevent a landlord from trying to take advantage of you. I?ve rented and lived in three states (Ohio, Minnesota and California) and all of them set up their tenant laws to keep renters safe from unfair landlords.
Second, make sure your lease has some minimum responsibilities outlined: length of lease, rent due date, grace period, late fees and included utilities. The easiest way to protect yourself is to have everything in writing. If you and your landlord agree to an amendment of your lease, write it down and both of you sign it.
Most of all, though, don?t do what my dad advised if you think you?re being treated unfairly. Turn to the internet or low-cost legal services to see if there?s something you can do. It never hurts to try. Oh, and buy renters? insurance.

A blog on grandparents, children, and divorce recently appeared in the NY times. The author, KJ Dell?Antonia, had several cogent points to make on the need to encourage this relationship post-divorce. Readers added? pertinent comments as well. We can all appreciate that children should not be robbed of this relationship, even when parents are no longer married to one another. Some suggestions include the following:
1. Keep lines of communication open. Do not assume that the relationship will follow the same old rules. Work on keeping channels open.
2.? Divorce affects all family members. Grandparents may be reluctant to freely come over for regular visits. Issue invitations to ensure positive relationships.
3.? Be aware of children?s needs. It is obvious that significant events in a child?s life will normally be enhanced by the presence of grandparents.
4.? Do not assume about relationships that are post-divorce. There are pleasant surprises that occur when people, in good faith, work on continuing positive relationships.
5.? This comes from a reader?Keep extending the hand of reconciliation even if that hand is sometimes bitten. A worthy goal. Focus on your child?s needs; you can?t go wrong with such efforts.
