Once-daily indacaterol versus tiotropium for patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (INVIGORATE): a randomised, blinded, parallel-group study

TLDR
Indacaterol and tiotropium provided clinically relevant improvements in lung function with comparable safety profiles and the present data offer evidence consistent with current guidelines.

The association of lung function and St. George's respiratory questionnaire with exacerbations in COPD: a systematic literature review and regression analysis.

TL;DR: A significant association between improvements in FEV1 and SGRQ score and lower risk for COPD exacerbations is demonstrated, and will help inform clinical and formulary-making decisions while stimulating new research questions for future prospective studies.

Dual Bronchodilation with Indacaterol Maleate/Glycopyrronium Bromide Compared with Umeclidinium Bromide/Vilanterol in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe COPD: Results from Two Randomized, Controlled, Cross-over Studies.

TL;DR: The data support the use of IND/GLY as an efficacious and well tolerated treatment option in patients with COPD, and the primary efficacy objective of non-inferiority of indacaterol/glycopyrrolate relative to UMEC/VI was not met.

Standardisation of spirometry

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Standardation of LUNG FUNCTION TESTing” that combines “situational awareness” and “machine learning” to solve the challenge of integrating nanofiltration into the energy system.

A self-complete measure of health status for chronic airflow limitation. The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

TL;DR: The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a valid measure of impaired health in diseases of chronic airflow limitation that is repeatable and sensitive andMultivariate analysis demonstrated that SGRQ scores summed a number of areas of disease activity.

The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

TL;DR: The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a standardized self-completed questionnaire for measuring impaired health and perceived well-being in airways disease and the background and rationale for its development are discussed together with an analysis of its performance.

Relationship between exacerbation frequency and lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that the frequency of exacerbations contributes to long term decline in lung function of patients with moderate to severe COPD.
