I wish to congratulate the authors of this Clinical Practice Guideline for their well-conceived, well-written, and balanced conclusions and recommendations. Indeed, in my humble opinion, this CPG was more evidence based than the recent review in the Lancet, particularly with regard to bronchodilator therapy. Finally, one hopes that these recommendations, particularly regarding steroids and anti-microbials, are implemented in practice in primary care and the ivory towers alike.
