SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): all randomized patients who applied at least one dose of study medication during at least one study period. Three patients were missing data for the patient preference analysis.

Patient preference after experiencing both treatments. The patient's preference questionnaire was a two-choice question (preference for QVA149 OR Tiotropium.
