“…Nationally representative USA surveys illustrate age-specific prevalence trends in asthma relative to COPD in adults. Data from the National Health Interview Survey show that the prevalence of self-reported asthma peaks in the 12-17 year old age group at 14.2% [29], drops to 9.2% among 18-44 year olds, and continues to decrease gradually with age [30]. At the same time, the prevalence of emphysema and chronic bronchitis begins a steady increase, starting from rates of 0.3% and 3.5% respectively in 18-44 year olds.…”

Summary This is the first of the IPCRG Guideline papers. The IPCRG took on the task of producing an integrated guideline for the management of chronic respiratory diseases in primary care. This included some original work aimed at developing questionnaires suitable for improving the diagnosis and recognition of respiratory diseases in the primary care setting. This paper provides the background evidence and rationale for the integrated diagnostic section of the IPCRG Guideline. It focusses on identifying the unique challenges in respiratory disease diagnosis in primary care, the use of epidemiology to build a co-ordinated diagnostic framework, and the development of tools to support guideline implementation.

“…3 Furthermore, several subgroups experience marked disparities: those who live below the federal poverty level (FPL) have higher smoking rates (29.2 %) than those at or above the FPL (16.2 %) 1 ; among adults under age 65, 29.6 % of uninsured and 30.1 % of Medicaid recipients reported smoking in 2012 compared to 15.2 % of those with private insurance. 4 Additionally, lack of insurance coverage for smoking cessation services has been associated with a lower likelihood of smoking cessation assistance and fewer quit attempts compared to insured individuals. 5,6 Community health centers (CHCs) provide primary care to medically underserved and vulnerable populations regardless of ability to pay.…”

“…With aging, a variety of cardiac and non-cardiac morbidities usually exist concurrently with the patients' coronary problems which makes it even more difficult for them to suit such procedures and to overcome any ominous adverse event. In the United States, the prevalence of cardiac diseases, hypertension, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney diseases, arthritis, and a lot of cancers is higher among the population aged 75 and older more than any other age group [18] .…”

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death with acute coronary syndrome accounting for more than 30% of causes of mortality in the elderly population. The rate of growth of the older segment of the population has increased exponentially and will become more pronounced in the future. Historically, there has been a paucity of clinical trials investigating the challenges and outcomes of more invasive treatment strategies such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for that very segment of the population. However, the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of PCI in the older population have started to receive more attention, leading to some changes in their trends. There are several factors that make interventional cardiologists more resistant to direct the elderly to PCI. Most of these challenging factors, such as the complexity of coronary lesions, frailty, hematological and vascular changes, are discussed in this review. In addition. more advanced technologies have been introduced to PCI platform such as second-and thirdgenerations stents, several alternative approaches have been adopted like transradial approach and the usage of bivalirudin instead of heparin and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, and several imaging modalities have been optimized to assess patients' outcome and prognosis more accurately. Several recent studies have shown better results when these strategies are adopted. The most recent recommendations regarding performing PCI in the elderly are also discussed in this review.
