Abstract

In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal ( ERJ ), the European Respiratory Society (ERS) releases its first "short guideline" document, dealing with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) withdrawal in COPD [1]. This guideline belongs to a new type of "short guidance" documents developed and published by the ERS; the main goal and characteristic is the shortened timeframe between project initiation and final output, thanks to a more restricted focus. Most importantly, these documents are not short versions of original guidelines and statements: they result from an original process. The European Respiratory Society now issues short official scientific documents https://bit.ly/3brN9jO
