Development of ADCT involved literature review as well as interviews with patients and physicians, and was funded by Sanofi and Regeneron.

The ADCT gives a measure of how controlled your patient’s eczema is. Use these 6 concise questions to evaluate all dimensions of atopic dermatitis control.

Atopic dermatitis, a type of eczema, may be affecting your patient’s life in more ways than you know.

<h2>Type 2 Inflammation may increase the risk of exacerbations and lung function impairment in COPD6,7</h2>
<h3>COPD is characterised by mucus production, airway obstruction, and coughing8</h3>

<h3>Inflammation manifests systemically and locally</h3>

<ul>
 <li>Chronic inflammation causes structural changes, including narrowing of the airways and decreased lung elasticity8</li>
 <li>Studies have identified a relationship between inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in respiratory conditions such as COPD9</li>
</ul>

<h2>Look for elevated blood eosinophils&nbsp;- A Biomarker of Type 2 Inflammation in COPD8</h2>

<h4>&nbsp;</h4>
<h3>Elevated eosinophils in COPD are a treatable trait and marker of type 2 inflammation11</h3>
The 2024 GOLD Report recognises elevated blood EOS as a clinically used biomarker in identifying COPD with type 2 inflammation8
<h2>Type 2 inflammation in COPD can involve multiple pathways, cytokines, and inflammatory cells12</h2>

<h2>IL-4, IL-13, and IL-5 are type 2 cytokines involved in COPD</h2>

&nbsp;&nbsp;aBased on findings from 5 studies in COPD patients without asthma. Eosinophil levels used to define type 2 inflammation ranged from ≥300 cells/μL to ≥340 cells/μL (blood), ≥2% in induced sputum or 3% in peripheral blood. Percentages of patients with type 2 inflammation ranged from 12.3% to ~40%6,7 bA severe exacerbation was defined as a hospitalisation due to COPD. Exacerbations had to be a minimum of 4 weeks apart to be considered separate exacerbations.10 cIn a cohort of patients with EOS &gt;200 cells/μL.9 dReproduced with permission of the American Thoracic Society.

a The SGRQ is a 50-item questionnaire designed to measure the qualitative impact of COPD on overall health , daily life, and perceived well-being. Higher scores mean greater disease severity.1,2 b E-RS:COPD is an 11-item patient-reported derivative tool that measures the effect of treatment on respiratory symptom severity in patients with stable COPD . Higher scores mean greater disease severity. 3,4

<h2>COPD exacerbation risk has been shown to accelerate after each exacerbation.2,a&nbsp;</h2>
<h3>Exacerbation risk accelerates after each exacerbation2</h3>

*Severe exacerbations were defined as those which resulted in hospitalisation with a primary discharge diagnosis of COPD2
<h3>Despite triple inhaled therapyc, many patients remain symptomatic as defined by persistent symptoms and exacerbations.2</h3>

<h2>COPD exacerbations may lead to an accelerated rate of decline in lung function3,d</h2>

<ul>
 <li>
 Rate of FEV1 decline nearly double3</li>
 <li>
 Lung function decline may occur after only one COPD exacerbation3</li>
</ul>

aBased on data from a large population-based cohort of 73,106 Canadian patients (mean age 75 years) who were hospitalised for the first time because of a severe exacerbation of COPD (1990-2005, followed until death or March 31, 2007). The hazard functions of successive hospitalised COPD exacerbations and all-cause mortality over time were estimated, and HRs adjusted for age, sex, calendar time and comorbidity.&nbsp;2 bAdjusted for age, sex, calendar time, and the modified Chronic Disease Score.2 cOr double inhaled therapy if ICS is contraindicated.4 dFEV1 decline after a single moderate-to-severe exacerbation.
