Effects of combination therapy indacaterol/glycopyrronium versus tiotropium on moderate to severe COPD: evaluation of impulse oscillometry and exacerbation rate
BACKGROUND Small airways are considered the major site of airflow limitation in COPD. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a forced oscillation technique, which provides passive measurement of lung mechanics. It can differentiate small airway from large airway obstruction and is more sensitive than spirometry for peripheral airway disease. In this study the efficacy of the combination of Indacaterol/G...
متن کاملTiotropium as essential maintenance therapy in COPD
Over the past decade, several large-scale clinical trials have been performed to assess the impact of pharmacological treatments on patient-centred outcomes such as dyspnoea, exercise tolerance, exacerbations and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Tiotropium, a once-daily inhaled anticholinergic agent that works through prolonge...
متن کاملAccuracy of Impulse Oscillometry in Airway Dysfunction
Background: The purpose of this study was to calculate and compare the specificity and sensitivity of impulse oscillometry (IOS) as a new technique in the detection of airways dysfunction by means of a simple pulmonary function test in chemical warfare injured cases suffering from respiratory diseases. Methods: The study was performed prospectively in 100 patients, who complained of dyspnea as ...
متن کاملRelationships between impulse oscillometry, spirometry and dyspnoea in COPD.
BACKGROUND Severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is based either on symptoms/disability or lung function, which have no discernible correlation. We hypothesised that impulse oscillometry (IOS), a non-effort-dependent measure of central and peripheral airway mechanics, could correlate to dyspnoea in COPD. METHODS We analysed screening data from 57 COPD patients who had spiro...
متن کاملCharacteristics of COPD patients initiating treatment with aclidinium or tiotropium in primary care in Catalonia: a population-based study
OBJECTIVE To describe and compare demographic and clinical profile of patients newly initiated on aclidinium (ACL) or tiotropium (TIO) and identify factors associated with newly initiated ACL in real-life clinical practice during 2013 in Catalonia. DESIGN We performed a population-based, retrospective, observational study with data obtained from the Information System for Research Development...
