Steroid Use in COPD - A Risk Factor for CAP?
• 175,906 patients with COPD, 23,942 hospitalized for pneumonia (1.9 per 100 per year)
• Matched to 95,768 control subjects.
• The adjusted RR of hospitalization for pneumonia associated with current use of ICS was 1.70 (95% CI), 1.63–1.77) and 1.53 (95% CI, 1.30–1.80) for pneumonia hospitalization followed by death within 30 days. The RR of hospitalization
– greatest with the highest doses of ICS equivalent to fluticasone at 1,000 µg/day or more (RR, 2.25;95% CI, 2.07–2.44).
• All-cause mortality was similar for patients hospitalized for pneumonia, whether or not they had received ICS (7.4 and 8.2%, respectively)

• New-user cohort of patients with COPD treated during 1990–2005.
• A nested case–control analysis was used to estimate the rate ratio (RR) of serious pneumonia associated with current ICS use
– adjusted for age, sex, respiratory disease severity and comorbidity.
• 163 514 patients, of which 20 344 had a serious pneumonia event during the 5.4 years of follow-up (incidence rate 2.4/100/year)
• Use of ICS was associated with a 69% increase in the rate of serious pneumonia (RR 1.69)
• The risk was sustained with long-term use and declined gradually after stopping ICS use, disappearing after 6 months
• The rate of serious pneumonia was higher with fluticasone (RR 2.01), increasing with the daily dose, but was much lower with budesonide (RR 1.17)

• Clinical and 5-year follow-up data were collected on all adults aged ≥65 years with pneumonia over a period of 2 years.
• Nested case-control design matched on age, sex, and COPD
– Cases• patients with recurrent pneumonia ≥30 days
after initial episode – Controls
• free of pneumonia
• 653 recurrent pneumonia cases were matched with 6244 controls
– Mean age was 79 years– 3577 (52%) male– 2652 (38%) had COPD– 2294 (33%) ever used ICS
• 123 of 870 (14%) current ICS users had recurrent pneumonia compared to 395 of 4603 (9%) never-users (adjusted odds ratio, 1.90; P < .001; number need to harm = 20)
• no association between past use of ICS and pneumonia: 9% of past users versus 9% never-users (P = .36).

• Primary care data from The Health Improvement Network in the UK• People with asthma with pneumonia or lower respiratory tract
infection• Age- and sex-matched control subjects. • The highest strength of ICS ( >1,000 µg) had a 2.04 increased risk of
pneumonia or LTRI compared with no prescription for ICS within the previous 90 days

ICS – Risk for Tuberculosis
• Case control study in Korea using the national health care data base
• 853 439 Pts prescribed ICS for the first time (2007 bis 2010)
• Pts with a first diagnosis of TB after starting ICS were included
• Data were adjusted for age, gender, Asthma-/COPD Diagnosis and time since start of ICS
• 4139 TB were diagnosed and compared with 20 583 controls
• ICS increased the likelihood for Tb (adjusted OR 1.20) significantly
• The assoziation was dose dependend (p <0.001)

• Case-control study in adults in Denmark with microbiologically confirmed NTM pulmonary disease between 1997 and 2008
• 10 matched population controls per case.• Chronic respiratory disease was associated with a 16.5-fold
increased risk of NTM pulmonary disease• Adjusted OR for NTM disease was 15.7 for COPD, 7.8 for
asthma, 9.8 for pneumoconiosis, 187.5 (95% for bronchiectasis, and 178.3 for tuberculosis history
• ORs were 29.1 for patients with COPD on current ICS therapy and 7.6 for patients with COPD who had never received ICS therapy
• ORs increased according to• ICS dose from 28.1 for low-dose intake to 47.5 for high-dose
intake (more than 800 μg/day)• OR was higher for fluticasone than for budesonide

ICS and PneumoniaPleural Effusion
• Single center cohort study in Spain in 3,612 CAP patients • 633 Pts (17%) were treated with ICS before CAP was diagnosed (COPD
54%; Asthma, 13%)• Incidence of a parapneumonic pleural effusion lower in ICS patiens
compared to non ICS patients (5% vs. 12%; P < 0.001). • ICS pretreatment was associated with higher glucose and pH and
lower protein and LDH concentraitions in the pleural effusion
