Bronchial thermoplasty versus mepolizumab: Comparison of outcomes in a severe asthma clinic
David Langton, Joy Sha, Suzy Guo, Julie Sharp, Ceri Banks, Wei Wang, Virginia Plummer, Francis Thien
10.1111/resp.13830
This is the first study to directly compare BT to the monoclonal antibody mepolizumab for the treatment of severe asthma. The findings suggest that BT is equally as effective as mepolizumab in reducing symptoms, exacerbations and oral steroid use, without being limited to patients with an eosinophilic phenotype.

Cost of hospitalization for bronchiectasis exacerbation in children

The mean cost to the health system in 2016 dollars from hospitalizing a child with an acute respiratory exacerbation of bronchiectasis was AUD 30 182 per admission. Costs were significantly higher in younger children, with longer hospital admissions and more severe bronchiectasis, but lower in those receiving some of their treatment by 'HITH' regime.
The emblem of AusBREATHE (Australian Bronchiectasis Centre of Research Excellence, especially for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children) is a reproduction of a painting by First Nations artist and former Menzies employee, who describes how the painting represents the lungs as follows:
When the earth was made, so were the first trees. They cleaned the air through their branches and leaves. The same is reflected in us with our lungs; they have branches like trees breathing in the air and cleaning our body and provide much needed oxygen.The butterflies represent a delicate balance; if something happens to the air, the butterflies will die. That's why we must look after our air, like we have to look after our lungs because they keep us alive. The red dots represent alveoli that are at the end of the branches. |

The risk prediction model for RA-ILD patients using age from 60 years onwards and imaging parameters such as extent of fibrosis at ≥20% of the total lung extent, a UIP pattern and emphysema, was effective in predicting prognosis both in the derivation and validation cohorts. |

In this case–control study, we explored the role of sex hormones in IPF. We found that plasma testosterone levels decreased in male patients with IPF, and plasma testosterone was positively associated with LTL. No coding variations of androgen-related pathway genes were associated with androgen concentrations. |

1274 | Opportunities to diagnose fibrotic lung diseases in routine care: A primary care cohort study
Mark G Jones, Christopher R T Hillyar, Anjan Nibber, Alison Chisholm, Andrew Wilson, Toby M Maher, Alan Kaplan, David Price, Simon Walsh, Luca Richeldi, On behalf of the RESPIRATORY EFFECTIVENESS GROUP'S INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE WORKING GROUP
10.1111/resp.13836
We analysed a primary care clinical cohort database to investigate respiratory symptoms and healthcare use in the 10 years prior to a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. Utilization progressively increased in the years prior to diagnosis, suggesting multiple opportunities for diagnosis at an earlier stage. |

10.1111/resp.13837
This is the largest Asian study to date to evaluate the performance of the LENT prognostic score and the first study to validate the modified-LENT and clinical PROMISE prognostication scores in an Asian population of patients with MPE for pleuroscopy. An improved prognostication score (SELECT) is also proposed. |
