Article Synopsis
- COPD is a significant health issue, and the 2019 GOLD strategy introduced blood eosinophils as a key biomarker to help identify COPD patients at risk for exacerbations and inform treatment decisions.
- A study analyzing a Colombian cohort of COPD patients found that most participants were elderly, with a balanced gender ratio and a notable prevalence of biomass exposure as a risk factor.
- The results revealed varying eosinophil counts among patients, with those who had a history of smoking and frequent exacerbations showing higher counts, alongside a high rate of recorded exacerbations within the study period.
Background: There is a high variability in clinical practice regarding nutritional care which could affect nutritional status of oncological patients. This variability can be diminished following evidence based recommendations from clinical practice guidelines (CPG) with good methodological quality in its development.
Objective: To review and evaluate the quality of published guidelines in nutrition in hospitalized oncological adult patients.
