Inhaled budesonide (Pulmicort), commonly used in asthma, helped COVID-19 outpatients at extra risk for severe illness recover more quickly relative to standard care in the pragmatic PRINCIPLE trial, British researchers said.
In an updated analysis of interim data, through March 25, duration of illness was significantly shorter in the 751 patients assigned to budesonide by 2.6 days (95% CI 1.0-4.7) versus standard care, reported Christopher C. Butler, FMedSci, of the University of Oxford in England, and colleagues writing in a
Median times to self-reported recovery were 10 days (interquartile range [IQR] 4-25 days) in the budesonide group compared with 13 days (IQR 4 days to no upper bound) among those receiving standard care (n=1,028) in the randomized open-label trial (probability of superiority 0.999).

OAK BROOK, Ill. - Body composition information derived from routine chest CTs can provide important information on the overall health of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including their risk of all-cause mortality, according to a study published in
Radiology.
COPD is a group of chronic, progressive lung diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis that affect about 30 million people in the United States alone. It is frequently associated with obesity and sarcopenia, a loss of muscle mass and strength. Obesity is associated with lower mortality in patients with COPD. The longer survival rates of obese patients compared to leaner counterparts, a phenomenon known as the obesity paradox, h
