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.

Recent advances in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: Data supporting the use of novel ultra bronchodilators, particularly in combination, and on the role for inhaled corticosteroid withdrawal and new bronchoscopic procedures are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

COPD from an everyday primary care point of view.

TL;DR: Treatment with a combination of budesonide/formoterol was associated with lower exacerbations than the treatment with fluticasone/salmeterol and the analysis did not reveal any differences in terms of exacerbation in monotherapy, double therapy without corticoids, and triple therapy combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhaled therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Network meta-analyses of RCTs and observational studies integrated evidence to fully understand the characteristics of patient subgroups who may benefit from triple therapy and for those whom the extra risk of adverse events, such as pneumonia, may outweigh any benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Indacaterol vs tiotropium in COPD patients classified as GOLD A and B

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed post-hoc analyses of pooled data from two prospective, controlled clinical trials comparing the LABA indacaterol and LAMA tiotropium in 1422 patients with moderate airflow limitation and no history of exacerbations in the previous year.

Clinical role of dual bronchodilation with an indacaterol-glycopyrronium combination in the management of COPD: its impact on patient-related outcomes and quality of life.

TL;DR: In conclusion, several years after introduction of dual bronchodilation, the fixed-dose combination of indacaterol 110 µg/glycopyrronium 50 µg in a single inhaler for once-daily administration via the Breezhaler® device (QVA149) has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective treatment for COPD patients.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
