Current guidelines recommend adding long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) in patients with uncontrolled asthma, despite the use of moderate to high doses of inhaled steroid-long-acting beta agonists (ICS/LABA). This study aims to analyze the factors related to the prescription of add-on LAMA in clinical practice for asthma patients, shedding light on physicians' preferences. This study included adult asthma patients on add-on LAMA and ICS/LABA monitored for at least one year in a national registry comprising 2053 asthmatics.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the prognostic factors for C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), focusing on the total chronicity score (TCS) derived from a new histological index (C3G-HI).
  • 74 patients from 20 medical centers were analyzed to determine factors affecting kidney health outcomes, with a particular emphasis on hemoglobin levels and their correlation with patient survival and kidney function.
  • Results indicated that low hemoglobin levels were linked to worse outcomes in C3G patients, and a TCS of 4 or higher correlated with significantly lower kidney survival rates over three years.
