Asthma remission has emerged as a potential treatment goal. This study evaluated the effectiveness of two biologics (mepolizumab/omalizumab) in achieving asthma remission.
Methods
This observational study included 453 severe asthma patients (41% male; mean age ± SD 55.7 ± 14.7 years) from two real‐world drug registries: the Australian Mepolizumab Registry and the Australian Xolair Registry...
Oxygen is a life‐saving therapy but, when given inappropriately, may also be hazardous. Therefore, in the acute medical setting, oxygen should only be given as treatment for hypoxaemia and requires appropriate prescription, monitoring and review. This update to the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) guidance on acute oxygen therapy is a brief and practical resource for all healthcare...
This scientific letter considers the rationale for the target oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) range of 92–96% for oxygen therapy in adult patients without COPD or other conditions associated with chronic respiratory failure, recommended by the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand, in contrast to the 94–98% target range recommended by the British Thoracic Society. We conclude...
