Oral corticosteroids (eg, prednisone) Beta2 -agonist and anticholinergic combinations (eg, ipratropium and albuterol, umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol inhaled) Beta2 -agonist and corticosteroid combinations (eg, budesonide/formoterol, fluticasone and salmeterol, vilanterol/fluticasone inhaled) Pulmonary rehabilit...
These investigators argued that the vast majority of CFS/ME neuroimaging has failed to use optimal techniques for studying brain-stem, despite its probable centrality to any neuro-inflammatory causes or autonomic effects; MRS was discussed as a less informative but more widely available, less invasive...
Furthermore, the osteoporosis risk between dose and exposure time of ICS were also evaluated in Table3. First, while adjusting for other effects, COPD patients with high-dose ICS use had 1.085 fold-risk for osteoporosis (p-value < 0.0001), compared to no ICS use. It was showed that ...
Use of Corticosteroids and Other Therapies In total, 73 765 patients (92%) were initially treated with high doses of steroids administered intravenously, while 6220 (8%) began low doses of steroids given orally. Expressed in prednisone equivalents, the median total dose administered during the fi...

There are also spikes in testing and prescribing at time of incentive billing, but rates return to pre-period trends for all but a handful of care processes (HbA1c and lipid panels among diabetes patients, ACR and lipid panels testing hypertension patients, and prednisone dispensing among COPD ...
[12]. In a pooled analysis of 71 controlled clinical trials, a relative risk of 1.6 for infectious complications were reported in patients given more than a cumulative dose of >700 mg prednisone [12], but a stratified analysis of trials including patients with pulmonary diseases showed no ...
