Nutritional anaemia raises mortality, readmission risks in patients with AECOPD

Anaemia affects nearly one in five patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and contributes to increased postdischarge mortality and readmission, a study has found. Its most common subtype is nutritional anaemia, followed by anaemia of chronic disease (ACD).

RSV vaccination: Protecting older adults with comorbidities

a day ago by

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in the elderly and older adults with comorbidities may lead to death or severe complications that require hospitalization. At an industry-sponsored symposium during the Advances in Medicine 2026 conference, Dr Ken Ka-Pang Chan of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Chinese University of Hong Kong, discussed the role of vaccination and clinical impact of the recombinant adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccine, especially in adults with underlying high-risk conditions such as cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic disease, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
