Recommendations for Clinicians to Combat Environmental Disparities in Pediatric Asthma
Asthma is a common lung disease in children with environmental factors, including unhealthy housing and school-based exposures, contributing to increased asthma morbidity and widening disparities. A review in the journal CHEST® highlights environmental factors at the housing and school levels to be aware of and encourages clinicians to make evidence-based recommendations to drive effective exposure reduction strategies to mitigate asthma morbidity.
Eosinopenia as Predictor of Disease Severity in Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Studies have found that eosinophil levels <50/μL correlate with an increased mortality in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in addition to acute exacerbation of COPD. To better understand the role of eosinopenia for predicting short-term outcomes in CAP, a study in the journal CHEST® analyzed blood eosinopenia ≤50/μL as a predictor of disease severity in patients with CAP.
