Vincent S. Fan,Ina Gylys-Colwell,Emily Locke,Kaharu Sumino,Huong Q. Nguyen,Rachel M Thomas,Sheryl Magzamen +6 more
TL;DR: Overuse of SABA was common and associated with increased disease severity and symptoms, even though overusers were on more COPD-related inhalers and more had completed pulmonary rehabilitation.
