Proud developers and facilitators of #ASHLEY & #CASSIE, structured education courses for Croydon adults with Asthma and COPD. Not very good at Twitter!


A European consortium of researchers has developed a new decision making framework for health professionals which they hope will transform the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (#COPD). Dr Neil Greening from @Leic_hospital & @uniofleicester together with CICERO colleagues developed a novel multidimensional framework designed to predict exacerbation severity and prognostic risk. The model incorporates three domains: Baseline functional status (B), Acuity of the event (A), and the Trigger (t) driving the episode. By integrating these elements using routinely collected clinical data, the BAt classification offers a structured approach to characterising exacerbations beyond traditional metrics. Funded by #NIHRLeicesterBRC, @EuroRespSoc published in @TheLancet Respiratory Medicine & presented at the @BTSrespiratory Winter Conference today! Read more: leicesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/cicero/
