Abstract

This review highlights key aspects of treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation, focusing on the optimisation of systemic corticosteroid and antibiotic use through personalised treatment using biomarkers. Eosinophil-guided therapy reduces corticosteroid usage which might reduce side effects, while procalcitonin-guided therapy contributes to reduced antibiotic consumption. These approaches, documented through well-conducted randomized controlled trials, suggest the possibility of enhancing COPD exacerbation management, reducing potential side effects, and addressing concerns related to antibiotic resistance.
