Journal ArticleDOI
A 4-Year Trial of Tiotropium in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Donald P. Tashkin,Bartolome R. Celli,Stephen Senn,D Burkhart,Steven Kesten,Shailendra Menjoge,Marc Decramer +6 more
TL;DR: Therapy with tiotropium was associated with improvements in lung function, quality of life, and exacerbations during a 4-year period but did not significantly reduce the rate of decline in FEV(1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Bronchodilator responsiveness in patients with COPD
Donald P. Tashkin,Bartolome R. Celli,Marc Decramer,Dacheng Liu,D Burkhart,Cara Cassino,S Kesten +6 more
TL;DR: The majority of patients with moderate-to-very-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease demonstrate meaningful increases in lung function following administration of inhaled anticholinergic plus sympathomimetic bronchodilators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does Quality of Life of COPD Patients as Measured by the Generic EuroQol Five-Dimension Questionnaire Differentiate Between COPD Severity Stages?
Maureen P.M.H. Rutten-van Mölken,Jan B. Oostenbrink,Donald P. Tashkin,D Burkhart,Brigitta U. Monz +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a generic instrument can assess COPD impact on quality of life and that the scores discriminate between patient groups of known severity and that these utility scores will be useful in cost-effectiveness assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Trial Design Considerations in Assessing Long‐Term Functional Impacts of Tiotropium in COPD: The Uplift Trial
Marc Decramer,Bartolome R. Celli,Donald P. Tashkin,Romain Pauwels,D Burkhart,Cara Cassino,Steven Kesten +6 more
TL;DR: A four‐year, controlled clinical trial is initiated in patients with COPD to evaluate the long‐term effects of tiotropium on the rate of decline in lung function and health status as well as the frequency of exacerbations and the rationale for the UPLIFT study is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cause-specific mortality adjudication in the UPLIFT® COPD trial: Findings and recommendations
Lorcan McGarvey,Sheldon Magder,D Burkhart,Steven Kesten,Dacheng Liu,Raymond C. Manuel,Dennis E. Niewoehner +6 more
TL;DR: This process of mortality adjudication and methodological revisions introduced to help standardise the adjudication of two areas recognised to pose particular difficulty; firstly, the classification of fatal COPD exacerbations that occur in the setting of pneumonia and secondly, the categorisation of sudden death.
