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.

Efficacy and safety of umeclidinium plus vilanterol versus tiotropium, vilanterol, or umeclidinium monotherapies over 24 weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: results from two multicentre, blinded, randomised controlled trials

TL;DR: In both studies, the primary efficacy endpoint of both studies was trough forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) on day 169, which was analysed in the intention-to-treat population and noted improvements in trough FEV1 on day169 for both doses of UMEC plus VI compared with TIO monotherapy.

An official American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society statement: research questions in COPD

TL;DR: Recommendations for research that addresses important gaps in the evidence in all areas of COPD were formulated via discussion and consensus, and the types of research that leading clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates believe will have the greatest impact on patient-centred outcomes were highlighted.

Impact and prevention of severe exacerbations of COPD: a review of the evidence.

TL;DR: Evidence-based approaches to prevent and manage severe exacerbations should be implemented as part of targeted strategies for disease management, and strategies to prevent readmission to hospital are identified.

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.
