Recent clinical trials of as-needed fixed-dose combination of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/formoterol have provided new evidence that may warrant a reconsideration of current practice. A Task Force was set up by the European Respiratory Society to provide evidence-based recommendations on the use of as-n...
Before initiation of antibiotic treatment, a specimen should be obtained for microbiological diagnostics. The first choice is an ulcer biopsy, as this method has the best microbiological diagnostic precision. It is important that the clinician arrives at the choice of diagnostics in consultation with the...
The working group finds that the training should be individualised and progressive based on the patient’s level and
progress. It is important for the benefit of any training intervention that there is a focus on achieving high training
compliance and establishing lasting training habits. The training c...
Training/instruction of staff in using the selected psychometric test is recommended to achieve sufficiently high
sensibility and specificity. As delirium is a fluctuating condition, repeated testing after hours or days is recommended,
as well as in connection with mental changes in patients with one or ...
When dealing with patients with prostate cancer, healthcare professionals should pay particular attention to the

Hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection have a high mortality rate and frequently require noninvasive respiratory support or invasive ventilation. Optimising and standardising management through evidence-based guidelines may improve quality of ca...

While the role of acute non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to improve outcome in acute life-threatening hypercapnic respiratory failure in COPD, the evidence of clinical efficacy of long-term home NIV (LTH-NIV) for management of COPD is less. This document provides evidence-based recommendatio...
