Article Synopsis
- Rates of mortality and re-admission for patients with COPD after hospitalizations remain high, prompting the need for better inhaler selection and management upon discharge to reduce these risks.
- A study was designed to create a practical inhaler selection tool for clinicians to use prior to discharge and assess its impact on medication prescriptions and patient outcomes.
- The inhaler selection tool was successfully developed through clinician and patient feedback, and consensus was reached on the minimum clinically important differences for re-admissions and mortality rates following exacerbations of COPD.
