Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exacerbation Risk by Chronic Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in Obstructive Lung Diseases

Q: What were the main findings regarding risk and dose response?

PPI use was associated with a 16 percent higher risk of exacerbations, and there was a clear dose-response pattern with increasing risk from low to daily exposure, including an additional increase when co-prescribed with CYP2C19 inhibitors.

Exacerbation Risk by Chronic Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in Obstructive Lung Diseases

Q: Can you give a brief overview of your study design?

We used a nationwide observational cohort of chronic inhaler users from 2017 to 2021, compared PPI users to non-users, excluded those with contraindications or H2 antagonists, and examined cumulative PPI exposure with four exposure categories to assess dose-response.

Exacerbation Risk by Chronic Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in Obstructive Lung Diseases

Q: So what prompted you to specifically research this question?

We noted PPIs are widely prescribed and often used long-term in patients with obstructive airway diseases, and prior literature on PPIs and exacerbation risk was inconsistent. We designed a nationwide observational study to assess whether chronic PPI use is associated with exacerbation risk and whether a dose-response pattern exists.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Patients With Nosocomial Respiratory Infections: A Secondary Analysis of the European Network for ICU-Related Respiratory Infections

Q: What do you do with these results or how should clinicians think about pseudomonas risk factors in treatment?

Clinicians should ask whether the pneumonia is likely pseudomonas versus other pathogens, consider MRSA risk, and tailor empiric therapy based on individual risk factors and local epidemiology, using microbiology rapidly to adjust therapy rather than treating all cases the same.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Patients With Nosocomial Respiratory Infections: A Secondary Analysis of the European Network for ICU-Related Respiratory Infections

Q: Could you give us a little bit more details about the study design itself and maybe some of the statistical methods?

The guest explains ENIRI/NERB as a prospective multinational cohort across 12 countries, with data collected 2016–2019, and describes the use of data cleaning (excluding variables with lots of missing data), imputation (KNN), and variable selection with LASSO and elastic net, followed by random forest to rank variable importance and produce a clinically interpretable risk model.
