متن کاملBronchodilator treatment of stable COPD: long-acting anticholinergics
Since airflow obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is to some extent reversible, bronchodilators play an important role in the maintenance treatment of COPD the more they reduce hyperinflation and, as a result, improve dyspnoea and exercise capacity. Since parasympathetic activity is the dominant reversible component of airflow obstruction in COPD, inhaled short-acting an...
متن کاملLong-acting bronchodilator use after hospitalization for COPD: an observational study of health insurance claims data

متن کاملSevere COPD Exacerbation Risk and Long-Acting Bronchodilator Treatments: Comparison of Three Observational Data Analysis Methods
OBJECTIVE Results from three observational methods for assessing effectiveness of long-acting bronchodilator therapies for reducing severe exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were compared: intent-to-treat (ITT), as protocol (AP), and an as-treated analysis that utilized a marginal structural model (MSM) incorporating time-varying covariates related to treatment adhere...
