Treatment persistence and exacerbations in patients with asthma initiating treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and beta-adrenergic agonists: retrospective cohort study.
BMJ Open
April 2022
Objective: To determine treatment persistence and exacerbations in patients initiating inhaler treatment with fixed-dose combinations of inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta-2-adrenergic agonists (ICS/LABA) for the treatment of asthma.
Design: Retrospective observational study conducted by review of electronic medical records (database: Fundación RediSS).
Setting: Retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: Undertreatment of trauma-related pain is common in the pre-hospital and hospital settings owing to barriers to the use of traditional standard of care analgesics. Low-dose methoxyflurane is an inhaled non-opioid analgesic with a rapid onset of pain relief that is approved for emergency relief of moderate-to-severe trauma-related pain in adults. This analysis was performed to compare the efficacy and safety of low-dose methoxyflurane with standard of care analgesics in adults with trauma-related pain.

Article Synopsis
- The InMEDIATE study aimed to compare the effectiveness of methoxyflurane to standard analgesics in reducing traumatic pain within the first 20 minutes for adult patients in Spanish emergency departments.
- The study involved 305 patients who experienced moderate to severe trauma-associated pain, with findings showing that methoxyflurane provided a greater reduction in pain intensity and quicker pain relief compared to standard treatments.
- Results indicated that methoxyflurane not only offered better pain control and comfort ratings from both patients and clinicians but also significantly exceeded expectations in comparison to standard analgesic methods.
Introduction: Bone metastasis is the most common cause of cancer-related pain, and metastatic bone pain (MBP) is not only severe but also progressive in many patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between pain management and performance status in patients with metastatic bone cancer in the Spanish clinical setting.
Methods: A 3-month follow-up prospective, epidemiologic, multicenter study was conducted in 579 patients to assess the evolution of their performance, the impact of pain control on sleep and functionality, and the degree of pain control according to analgesic treatment.
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a widely used pain measurement tool. There are 2 versions, the BPI Long Form (BPI-LF) and Short Form (BPI-SF), which share 2 core scales measuring pain severity and pain interference but which use different recall periods (24 hours vs. 1 week).
