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.
